Gustavo was stuck and he tried to push past his anxiety arising from the lack of direction on what actions to take. Realising the incompatible between his competance and the challenge before him would make him chuckle, were it not for being in such danger. As he focused he became aware of a buzzing sensation. He and the beast locked eye contact. The buzz became overwhelming, electrifying, and he only could give in to it. He sensed some pattern emerging, as if his ears would pick out a sound, not unlike seeing ships or elephants in clouds. As if he was spoken to from within a dream he was sure he could hear the monster say "help us help us help us" to him. Not saying, but screaming. Each iteration more clear and more panic inducing. Abruptly the buzzing stopped and the troll turned around, running down the hall away from him.

Nice! I love how this sets up some further plot; there might be something evil haunting the trolls (and humans) in the mages school.
I'd have some ideas but I wouldn't spoil other attempts. Also I just quickly typed it out, spelling and grammar be damned.
