    You are a Highland Troll. Lurking under bridges in the mountains is your primary means of procuring a means of survival. You have recently moved out from the bridge you were born under and closer to the humans living in the foothills below.
    You are:
    -close to nine feet tall and are heavily muscled.
    -the proud owner of thick, rocky skin
    -extremely sensitive to light, you can stand about fifteen minutes of daylight before you turn into stone until nightfall.
    You are lurking under your bridge as night is falling. You are in a ravine thirty odd feet deep; your flimsy wooden bridge swings in the wind, above you.

    Does the daylight exposure apply if we wear clothes?

    Wait till someone passes. Grab the bridge when they're halfway across and threaten to drop them if they don't answer your riddle. If they guess wrong, you get their food. If they guess right. They go free.

    Deciding to experiment with your ability to withstand the sunlight, you grab the top of a wrecked covered wagon laying in the bottom of the ravine.
    You snack on the body of a peasant you had lying around from when you first moved in, gnawing it down to the bones.
    >>6871435
    You wait patiently but no-one crosses your bridge during the night.
    >>6871460
    As sunrise approaches, you decide to cover the exposed skin in mud. Slathering on a thick layer of muck, you wait in the bottom of the ravine for day break.
    Glorious colours down through the top of the ravine and at first you are elated, it works!

    You decide to grab a branch, leaving your bridge alone. When you start climbing out of the ravine, your mud armour starts to rub off. It is fairly thin and crumbling by the time you reach the top of the chasm. You retrieve a small tree to use as a club.

    The wagon mostly contained bins of cabbage and a pair of chickens. You are currently wearing the covering for it. You smear more mud on your body before sitting in a sunny spot in the ravine next to the bridge. You nod off several times, ambushing a group of deer one of the times you are awake, clubbing a stag and a fawn.
    When you wake as the sun is setting, you notice a small tunnel at the bottom of the ravine. Parts of the wrecked wagon are missing

    Taking several branches and the floor of the wagon, you manage to rig up a crude cover for the bridge. At the same time, you reinforce the sides of the bridge, making it more stable.
    >>6871874
    You start to dig into the side of the ravine and break through into a 7 foot tall, rough cave. It is around 15 feet wide and a similar length. You can see several 5 foot tall tunnels leading into the darkness.
    There is a massive pile of wood in this room, you recognize parts of the wagon.

    Deciding to pay back the thieves for their poor judgment, you begin the construction of rough walls on your covered bridge.

    Okay, you wrap your rough cloak around yourself and grab your club. Leaping up onto the top of the ravine, you swing and send a sword wielding human in leather armour flying backwards with a wet cracking noise. A dwarf carrying a pair of axes also stands near the bridge. Back a ways are a pair of humans, one wielding a crossbow and the other wearing elaborate platemail and carrying a sword. An elf carrying a staff stands with a group of rapidly panicking horses.

    You rush forward, ignoring the dwarf as you do. The human with the crossbow raises it and fires at you, but it bounces off your rocky hide. The human in platemail moves to intercept you, chanting to himself as he does. The elf does something similar.
    You swing your club and the human attempts to parry it with his sword. He offers much more resistance than you would expect. The elf begins to glow brightly and you feel your skin begin to tingle.

    No idea, I've been throwing out suggestions based off of a list of priorities.

    1Pain Avoidance
    2Territory
    3Self-Preservation
    4Fun

    Don't know if he is smart enough to realize that their cooperation would be useful in the realization of his priorities.

    Giantish. Kobolds speak Draconic.

    Aren't kobolds poisonous?

    >>6873497
    Do this, try and find a common language. Undercommon seems like a likely choice if we know it.

    Can a troll be poisoned by eating a kobold? If so we just threaten crushing them.

    Kobolds can know undercommon and common. Trolls can learn common and orcish.

    You order the Kolbolds to guard your bridge. They stare blankly at you, cringing slightly as your voice reverberates loudly around the cramped cavern. The priest kobold looks at you confused for a moment before barking out an order in a gutteral, bark-like language. Several spear wielding Kobolds respectfully pass you and begin climbing up the ravine. The priest respectfully bows to you and says, in rough Trollish "Us work you now, master"

    Fuck yeah personal kobold army, lets help them get their tunnels back in order after we collapsed them.

    Tell the kobolds of the adventuring party you just encountered, and see if some sort of mutually beneficial relationship can be set up between you. For starters, have them rig up a more effective method of sun-protection than your current mud-and-cloth coverings.

    huh


    that's odd

    well, they're doing what we say. what do we... DO with them?

    tell them to do what they normally do, and be productive about it!

    Eat one of the smaller kobolds, to show them we mean business. But while it's in your grip, stall for a moment to see if he does anything cute :3

    NO! We shouldn't waste our kobold minions when we could eat something that won't poison us, they already know we will fuck them up when we came down here.

    (Okay, having some computer troubles, so this'll be my last post of the night, its been a good run so far)

    The priest orders several kobolds to start working on better leather sun covering.
    You help them repair the damage you caused in the fight, tell them to get back to work and then fall asleep. It's been a busy couple of days.
