Unlife Troll Invasion - 9/27/1998

Originally posted by Lady Brynnah of the Elanthian Weekly.

It began with infantry kobolds, moved on to trolls familiar and unfamiliar, and ended up with Troll Lords and a Troll Queen that even the most powerful of the lands had difficult with. I am only giving excerpts--the confusion and death was beyond belief. My thanks to Susaniel for giving me the words the Troll Prince spoke.

Word is that the Landing, Icemule, River's Rest and Teras were attacked simultaneously.

Sabitor sent me this view of outside North Gate--which, in a way, is all that is needed!

[Wehnimer's, Outside Gate]
Citizens, merchants and assorted dregs of society jostle against you before the great wooden gates of Wehnimer's Landing. Harried guards and militiamen try to keep the chaos to a minimum, but it is hard to keep track of those entering, let alone leaving, this large trading post. A dirt path encircling the wooden palisade of the town leads east and southwest. Nailed prominently to the wooden wall beside the gate is a sign you really should read. You also see a massive glacier troll, a massive troll king, a cave troll, a forest troll, a war troll, a hill troll, a stone troll, an ice troll, a thunder troll, a lava troll, a mountain troll, an infantry kobold, a troll hag, a troll hag, a massive glacier troll, a massive troll king, a cave troll, a forest troll, a war troll, a hill troll, a stone troll, an ice troll, a thunder troll, a lava troll, a mountain troll, an infantry kobold, a troll hag, a troll hag, a massive glacier troll, a massive troll king, a cave troll, a forest troll, a war troll, a hill troll, a stone troll, an ice troll, a thunder troll, a lava troll, a mountain troll, a troll hag, a massive glacier troll, a massive troll king, a cave troll, a forest troll, a war troll, a hill troll, a stone troll, an ice troll, a thunder troll, a lava troll, a mountain troll, a troll hag, a troll hag, a large frog, a white mouse, a forest troll, a hill troll, a lava troll, a troll hag, a troll hag, a forest troll, a stone troll, an ice troll, a mountain troll, a troll hag, a cave troll, a war troll, a hill troll, a stone troll, an ice troll, a lava troll, a troll hag, a massive troll king, a troll hag, a metal aventail, the Mystalia disk, the Xred disk, the Jolivette disk, the Mekyl disk, a visored helm, the Boydd disk, some light leather, a raven, a floating eye that is flying around, a horned frog who is lying down and a wayside inn.

[But, for the story of what I saw--it began with word on the amunet of infantry kobolds. Then, talk of trolls. Then visions: ]

The Symbol of Need begins to burn in your mind and an image appears before you of Sinji...

[Wehnimer's, Exterior]
The smell of the sea is quite strong here and you can hear the sound of crashing waves to the north. The logs that make up the high palisade that surrounds the town have been treated with oils but small cakes of salt, deposited by the moist saline air, still can be seen clinging to the wood. You also see a war troll which appears dead, a war troll, a forest troll which appears dead, a forest troll, a war troll, a forest troll, a simple monir coffer, a war troll who is lying down, a war troll, a good lockpick, a good lockpick, a plain brass strongbox, the Kyard disk and a trail leading east into the woods.

Obvious paths: north, south.

[And, there was some laughter at him sending Symbol of Need, when the monsters were relatively easy. Still, he was absolutely right--to let people know that there was something strange happening....]

[So, I sneaked out to see what was happening. At first there was little to see, except a trail of 'tattered grimy green doublets, torn black doublets, and suchlike things, all along the west and north side of the Landing, with forest trolls and war trolls here and there. And, I thought I would leave the younger creatures to the younger adventurers.]

Triex asks, "why are you big lugs killing the small trolls?"

[Well, I'll be killing cloud-casting monsters on sight when I'm 150th training. But I was not bothering with forest trolls, war trolls, or anything that looked familiar and young. So, sneaking through room after room of items, younger trolls, and stopping to drag a few people....]

As you stand next to the southwest corner of the Landing, you have an unobstructed view of the plain. Some distance away you can make out the vague figures of shepherdesses tending their flocks of Rolton -- sheep indigenous to the region. Further south the grassy expanse turns hilly, eventually terminating in stark mountains that line the horizon. You also see a quickly growing troll king, a leather helm, a spear, a rusty chain hauberk and a wooden signpost.

"The clear glaes bubble contains a miniature Silvergate Inn covered with a thin blanket of snow. A clear liquid fills the bubble, and the snowflakes shift gently with every little movement.

[I heard afterwards that many young clerics lost sight of their spirit, and raised too soon, giving themselves spirit death.] Word came of Massive Troll Queens outside the gate. Then, one was inside, and casting implosion....dozens of people vaporized... And word came of a Troll Prince who was talking to the people, but not with the voice of a negotiater.]
