For Terias:

"You are a mage?"-said the man chained to him a bit disbelievingly. "That should help in the battle to come." He was just about to add something else, but the orc guards suddenly started pushing them towards the entrance. As the last prisoners passed the door it was closed behind them with a heavy thud. In the arena there was nearly total silence. It seemed that everyone in the stands was anxiously waiting for the combat to start. There were altogether fifteen pairs of prisoners. None of them knew what they would have to affront, as Terias's companion explained it to him, it could be anything from wild animals to humanoids. The silence was pierced by a creak as a large door, much larger than the one they had come through opened on the opposite side of the pit. The tension as to what was going to come through the door could be felt. The silence was suddenly over as the crowd started cheering. Evidently they already saw what was coming. A trolls head appeared in the doorway and then its whole body. Three more followed. All had large clubs with them. Some of the pairs of prisoners moved into more advantegous positions as the trolls approached. Terias's companion turned to Terias and said: "Damn it. Four trolls. Your weapon will be useless here. I suggest that when the trolls get here you use your magic. I shall try to cover your back." One of the pairs who was in front of them charged on one of the trolls. The elf on the left was crushed by one swing of the club. The force of the swing lifted his body and sent him and the man he was chained together with flying ten meters backwards. Another one of the trolls was approaching Terias and his companion. "Now do something!"-the man shouted.
