Knowing that the troll that Sir Roland just knocked down can regenerate and get back up, Eldrin Stormscale steps up to it and, using his claws, goes for the Coup de Grace. The troll's Agility defence is 13, but since it is currently Helpless, Eldrin gets favour on his attack roll. He rolls two nines and a one, and discards the one, leaving him with a total attack roll of 20. His 2d6+1 claw damage inflicts 8 damage, which is applied directly to the troll's hit points.
