Bill really gets around...

#1 Post by kingvictory2003 »

Ancient elven ruins, ruined dungeon, sandworm lair, you name it, and Bill has dropped off a copy of his poetry. Is he going for a Pulitzer or something?

How about toning the drop rate down? :mrgreen:

I'd say the club and poetry should be localised to the trollshaws only.

Finding the club for sale for 5 gold in Bree is also somewhat entertaining.

I didn't assume that the author of the troll poem was Bill. I figured it was some other troll.

Troll's are really not the most imaginative people around, this poem has probably been around five thousand years, sung by every troll to his kids (even getting the verses in the right order after a few goes!) and being their equivalent to shakespear

To smash, or not to smash that is the question.

'Tis a question with only one answer, though.

I always thought the Trollish (Trollac? Trollian?) Shakespear sounded more like this:

Code: Select all

I will eat, will eat one whole Goat!
I will eat, will eat one whole Boat!
I do so like them Dwarf You Are,
I do so like Green Jellies and Human!
