It's a simple enough matter for Era to put away her hatchet and pull out her sword and shield, near instantly changing her out of her botanist's clothes and into her much more battle-appropriate paladin gear instead. Her Carbuncle (daemon, she has to remind herself) murmurs 'Rock Troll. Similar to a Goobue. Tougher hide' into her ear from its perch across her shoulders before it leaps off to throw a powerful blast of air at the creature.
Era hadn't exactly expected Emeraldd to fight alongside her - not without her summoner's grimoire equipped - but her Carbuncle flowed with her as it always had back in Eorzea. She feels relief curl in her heart, having worried that this new, unruly summon would no longer be the same. It cannot augment her Paladin skills (and it's so strange to be using gladiator skills with a Carbuncle still summoned) and so sticks to slashing air at the troll's thick skin and keeping it distracted until Era can rush up to slash out with her sword.
She blocks a powerful blow with her shield, feeling the energy behind it rush through the metal and down into her bones. Not the worst she's dealt with. Not as strong as Titan, but still much stronger than a Goobue's blows. It's enough to make her reconsider her choice of job for this fight. She has always been more adept at ranged, magical combat and if it isn't felled quickly Era's stamina will wane.
A quick spinning slash above the knees disrupts the creature's next blow. She had been aiming for the stomach.
B i suck at writing action but hey! practice makes perfect.

Sometimes she wishes she were taller.
