Go on the defence

From Create Your Own Story

You keep up your defences as the Goblin swings her terrible club. Smelling your fear, she stomps the ground with one enormous foot, growling.

The Goblin lashes out again with her club, taking one or two of your teeth with the blow. Then the heavy stone club catches you about the head and for a moment, your eyes seem to see in two different directions at once, before you hit the floor.
