That’s strange!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big hammer man laughed as he walked over, but his two-handed warhammer did not stop due to his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swung it right down onto Lann’s back as he lay on the ground!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much did you get paid, huh? Tell me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thud!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That hammer head alone weighed more than five pounds!
