Question

GRENDEL: An impossible task, for I will destroy you first, stupid one. (GRENDEL begins backing 1ST WARRIOR into a corner.)
1ST WARRIOR: I warn you to keep your distance; my sword is sharp and strong.
GRENDEL: My fangs and claws are stronger. (He takes the sword from 1ST WARRIOR and backs him offstage.) Your weapon is of no use to you. Neither are your screams.
