Why, start laying down fire, kicking alien ass, and maybe just save the world. 4th Prize: SC Visel - Troll HuntCullen was a young man tasked to defend his tribe against the raids of the trolls from across the way. Badly wounded in combat with one of the creatures, he leaves his village to rescue a friend who had been captured, risking his own life in the process..
