A Troll By Any Other Name

Charlatos 21

Two brother smiths, Antolis and Nov, showed up, stating their wagon had been attacked between Solhaven and Landing and they needed help. Adventurers all went and discovered these trolls, Grizzledrip and Nautecer, were mischievous but didn't mean harm. They mentioned their master who created them. The adventurers involved went back and reported on that to Ignacio, with Maralah and Storsha presenting opposing views (Maralah defending the trolls as childlike and mischievous, Storsha presenting a Sunfist-centric view).

Charlatos 23

In the Landing, the brothers were offering to make weapons and armor fancier [OOC note: adding a script]. Adventurers had another trip out to visit the trolls where the trolls requested exotic foods from around Elanith, and Nautecer also wanted fancy clothing so he could be as pretty as Issalya, whom he clearly admired. Antolis and Nov auctioned off two precious gemstones to adventurers to help fund their wagon's repairs and other expenses (and then some).

Charlatos 25

Liel, from the wizards' guild, was at Thrak's Inn, talking about how the master, Brech, was a criminal but was very interested in the troll creations. Ezabell frightened the trolls by having an animated troll present and then making it explode. After which, Nautecer and Grizzledrip presented two complicated lists of items to be retrieved, several involving searching all about Elanith or items from festivals. [These lists included even fancier clothes and wigs as well as items to make beer and wine.] Issalya, Maralah, and Rosalie went above and beyond in finding brewing items for Grizzledrip, while Ezabell and Lysanio provided the fancy wig, powder, and cane Nautecer required.

Charlatos 27

The Finale! Daenamaryllis tricked the trolls into summoning Liel with fireworks, resulting in the trolls and other adventurers insisting she and Liel both leave. Tyrillian brought dishonor on himself, his family, and possibly his cow by showing up without any pants on. Nautecer generously took off his own pants to give this hapless adventurer. After that, adventurers met with Brech, leading into a Library event the following day. Back in the Landing, Liel made ominous threats against Brech, to the consternation of the adventurers.
