Subject: Update

A trollish witchdoctor arrived today in the Rest. With him a storm came called upon by the "earth mother", the trolls' goddess. This storm was punishment for a certain halfing killing an advisor last night, who came to speak with us.

It was also determined that G'bruk is a "paradise" for trolls. That the Pathfinder, a troll who is a messiah, shall lead them to this paradise. The location of which, if my memory serves me right, is "on the side of a mountain, where tree and stone meet."

They intend to move their clans through the town of River's Rest, and intend also, no violence unless attacked. Let us hope cooler minds prevail, least we are faced with war.

The Troll Speaks! (LONG)

We heard troll voices in the town commons, speaking of G'bruk and the need to spread the word. Later there was some rustling in the brush and a piece of bloodstained tree bark fell, which was carved with the image of trolls standing beneath a comet. A group of them went to the troll lair, and heard voices saying that the glory of G'bruk was upon them, and that in time they would know G'bruk.

This started in the Commons area of RR;

You hear a guttural voice nearby growl, "'dramr snralorpr 'ght 'r'rar?""
Are the plans made

You hear a guttural voice nearby growl, "'darmr nbr 'vrargh r'snarlorpr 'ght, r's'. Tghgrirnot trartr's 'wr.""
war starts tonight. See, the plans have been made.

You hear a guttural voice nearby growl, "Lorr'krighu tar tr'sghumor 'wr."
we must act quickly.

You hear a guttural voice nearby growl, "N'rdlorrigh dnra n'morow 'ght 'rrar'p'r'rpr tr'srumr 'w. 'darmr srnralorpr 'ght. Tra tsrrumri."

You hear a guttural voice nearby growl, "R'sghu rra'gh Trollkin non 'ght, t'riru."
Quiet, the non trollkin hear us.

You hear a guttural voice nearby growl, "Dnargh tra sri G'bruk. Tri nir d'dghuor'rghsrn' 'br larlorrir'w Trollkin fo larlarar."
All of Trollkin will be enshrouded in it. G'Bruk is at hand.

You hear a guttural voice nearby growl, "Mrirgh dnrif tr'srumr 'r'w. 'firlor r'sirght noprghu G'bruk gnirrbr lurlarrir'w 'gh."
He will bring G'Bruk upon this life. we must find him"

You hear a guttural voice nearby growl, "Wrolorlurof lorlarirr'w srr'ghto. Lartroghsr 'r'r'gh grnrir'vrir'rrra 'br larlorriw Trollkin fo tsrr'rrif 'ght."
The first of nilort will be arriving here shortly. Others will follow.

You hear a guttural voice nearby growl, "R'r'ghtorbr, r'snralurr'p 'ght r'rof nr'rghut'r'r srghu t'lur."
Let us return for the plans brother.

A GROUP OF US WENT TO THE TROLL LAIR AND HEARD THIS;

You hear a guttural voice nearby growl loudly, "Prghu rr'rghugh! R'pru rrrugh! D'arlor'd 'br ton tsrghumri snralorpr!"
plans must not be delayed. Huryy up. Hurry up.

You hear a guttural voice nearby growl loudly, "Tri no 'vromri ra t'gr! R'r'tsrarf krr'row!"
Work faster. Get a move on it!

You hear a guttural voice nearby growl loudly, "Gnirvromri r'pk! Mriirgh dnrif ot 'mrrit ghghumor sru 'r'krat 'br larlarirw tir. S'mrio tir, r'grnolur nra trirar'w tonnar G'bruk!"
Gbruk cannot wait any longer, it comes. It will be take us much time to find him. (not sure about this one)

You see a handul of trolls making their way towards the entrance, a few of them

A pair of trolls, one smaller than the other, hurries past you dragging another large wooden device.

A gangly silver-eyed troll just arrived in town, it was bound but freed itself and then was killed. They were VERY fast and took a very long time to capture. Here is what it looked like;

You see a fairly typical silver-eyed troll that is lying down.
It appears to be dead.
It has moderate bleeding from its neck, a fractured and bleeding left arm and a fractured and bleeding left leg.
It is stunned.
It has a broad leather belt fringed with yellowing crocodile fangs (worn), a tree bark crocodile totem suspended from a twisted length of twine (worn) and a pair of tattered leather trousers patched over the knees (worn).

You hear a guttural voice nearby growl, "D'tarr'rtsrird 'r'ght 'lorrighr'w, rrrugh."
Hurry, while their distracted

Talk to us troll;
The tattered-robed troll growls, "'mor morr'rragh ruo od ghwr?"
Why do you harm me.

The tattered-robed troll growls, "Nirr'k mr mrirargh ruo od ghw?"
Why do you harm my kin.

We want to talk, not to harm you.
The tattered-robed troll growls, "'mr nor'pghu srlorlar'r'psr grnirtr'sra 'ghunirtno ruo t'?"
Yet you continue casting spells upon me.

The tattered-robed troll growls, "Nrir'k mor lorlarrir'k ghuo od ghr'w?"
Why do you kill my kin.

The tattered-robed troll growls, "Ghuo ot 'nod 'ght 'vrragh targhr'w?"
what have they done to you

Can you speak common?
A tattered robed troll brushes himself off.
The tattered-robed troll growls, "Larlor'wr 'grrarugnarlor wonr'k ir wodraghr's nir 'no 'ght lorlor't. Larlaror'rt r'f'rpr."
Prefer troll. Tell the one in shadow I know language well.

What do you want?
The tattered-robed troll growls, "Nwot sirght rof snralarpr on 'r'vragh 'r'w. Larlarra r'sru noprghu sri r'krurbrgr."
G'bruk is upon us all. We have no plans for this town.

Why are you in our town then?
The tattered-robed troll growls, "Rar'w nri r'sri nwrot rghuo. 'lorr'pmrrir's."
Simple. Your town is in way.

In the way of what?
The tattered-robed troll growls, "G'bruk."

Where is G'bruk going?
The tattered-robed troll growls, "Grnriogr tnr'sri G'bruk. Grnirmrio r'sir G'bruk."
G'bruk is coming. G'bruk isn't going.

G'bruk is basically Troll honor then?
The tattered-robed troll growls, "R'ronogh nraght 'r'romor r'sir G'bruk."
G'bruk is more than honor.

What is G'bruk then?
The tattered-robed troll growls, "Dnrikr r'rruo ghtirw sr'ir'ghr'por'rpr Trollkin 'r'rraghs 'wr tsrrumri ghr'w?"
Why must we share Trollkin prophecies with your kind?

Why do you invade our town then?
The tattered-robed troll growls, "'drar'vnir ton od 'w. G'bruk ksr 'wr. 'r'ght srghu dar'lur lurlurirw 'gh dnra."
He will lead us there. We seek G'bruk. We do not invade.

The tattered-robed troll growls, "Lorlor'wr r'sar sdra'ghtogh 'vrragh 'w, ruo 'r'kirlor. S'ogr tir sarr'wor'wt."
Two ways it goes. Like you, we have hotheads as well.

The tattered-robed troll growls, "R'kghurbrgr fo wronk Trollkin lorlurar. R'snralurr'p 'krramri Trollkin lorlorra. 'r'ghwr'r'r'v'."
Everywhere. Trollkin make plans. All trollkin know of G'bruk

What are the Trollkin plans?
The tattered-robed troll growls, "Snarlarpr s lorlurriw ruo, r'skrw gnirmro 'ght nir. Ruo rof ton r'snarlarr'p Trollin."
Trollkin plans not for you. In the coming weeks, you will see plans.

We killed you because you killed us;
The tattered-robed troll growls, "Tsrarr'p 'ght nri sghu nosriror'p r'sragh dnirk rruo. Dnirr'k r'rghuo fo ton r'knrird ir. Dnrir'k r'rghuo fo ton 'krart ri."
I take not of your kind. I drink not of your kind. Your kind has poisoned us in the past."

The tattered-robed troll growls, "Sr'ghsriwr mr br r'kra'prs ri. S'mro morrargh on 'r'r'ghwr, ra'rar srright nri 'ra'r'p tghgrruorbr r'knright ghuo od oghr'w?"
Who do you think brought peace in this area, where no harm comes? I speak by my wishes.

What is your position or your name?
The tattered-robed troll growls, "'morran 'rur'rt on 'vrragh ri. Rosrrivrdar nar morar ir."
I am an advisor. I have no true name.

The tattered-robed troll growls, "R'dra'lor rruo ot ror'srivrdar 'ght morar ri. G'bruk fo r'snarlurpr 'darmri ir."
I made plans of G'bruk. I am the advisor to our leader.

Who is "Him" that brings G'bruk?
The tattered-robed troll growls, "Morrigh fo ghuo lorlor't ton lorlorriw ir."
I will not tell you of him.

What if we gave you safe passage through our town if you told us of your plans?
The tattered-robed troll growls, "D'morrragh 'br ton dlurruor'w 'gh tn'r'rraghugr 'r'vargh ghuo od? Ton knright ir."
I think not. Do you have guarantee he would not be harmed?

The tattered-robed troll growls, "Tsr'br sir 'n'larirr's."
Silence is best.

Can we settle this without harm to you or us?
The tattered-robed troll growls, "'lortt'r's ot ghsrrir'w ton od 'wr. G'bruk krs ot ghsrirr'w 'r'w."
We wish to seek G'bruk. We do not wish to settle.

The tattered-robed troll growls, "G'bruk kr's 'r'w 'lurirghwr 'br srru 'vrra'lor ot 'lurpro'r'p rghuo fo tr's'r'r'tnir tr's'br 'ght nri 'br dlorruowr tir."
It would be in the best interest of your people to leave us be while we seek G'bruk.

The tattered-robed troll growls, "'nolarar s'ghsrriwr mri br kra'prr's ir ars ton ri drid?"
Did I not say I speak by my wishes alone?

The tattered-robed troll growls, "'br ghuo dlurghuor'w 'r'r'ghw n'ght dnra? 'nrimr lurlarirr'k ot 'ghunritno dlarghuow dnirkr rghuo, 'mrio ton ri dargh."
Had I not come, your kind would continue to kill mine. And then where would you be?

At this point, many were speaking to the troll;
The tattered-robed troll growls, "'iror'v 'no ghtirr'w r'kar'r'ps. 'grarghugrnralur r'brbrrig rghuo 'tarlorr'snarr'rt ot gnolar oot sr'krart."
Takes too long to translate your gibber language. Speak with one voice.

I suggest you leave town then.
The tattered-robed troll growls, "Traght tsr'ggrus ghuo od ghr'w dnra?"
And why do you suggest that?"

The tattered-robed troll growls, "Girshnak fo ghnrubr ra 'krirlur, ton r'sr'r'ttarmri tri. 'lurbrbrrabr larlorrir'w 'ght."
They will babble. It matters not, like a bunch of girshnak

Girshnak is apparently some kind of insult, so many started talking to it again.
The tattered-robed troll growls, "Ras ir, 'rior'v 'no."
One voice, I say.

The tattered-robed troll growls, "G'bruk n'ght dnar. Morirgh kr's 'r'w."
We seek him, and then G'bruk.

A few needed to catch up. so Vorek summarized;
Vorek warmly says, "He is the one they seek."
Vorek warmly says, "The one who will bring G'bruk.

The tattered-robed troll growls, "Lorrf krra'prsr ir od 'slur' ghr'w? Ar'r'rra srright d't'torpr 'vrargh ri r'rof, 'mr mrir'rargh tonnra 'ght."
They cannot harm me, for I have protected this area. Why else do I speak freely?

The tattered-robed troll growls, "'r'r'gh 'mrio larlarirwr dnrikr mr fo 'romri." More of my kind will come here.

If they come, we will kill them.
The tattered-robed troll growls, "Grnrilorlor'r'wd rghuo fo ton 'r'rar 'r'w d'tartr's 'r'vragh ri. Os traght srir ghw?"
Why is that so? I have stated we are not of your dwelling.
(basically meaning we don't want your town)

A tattered robed troll points at Moredin.
The tattered-robed troll growls, "Girshnak."

A tattered robed troll points at Moredin.
The troll was attacked for hurling slurs;
A tattered robed troll chants in a guttural language, and all its wounds fade away.

Someone appologized for the attack;
A tattered robed troll looks over at Wulfhen and shakes its head.
The tattered-robed troll growls, "'runirtno srnarlorpr 'ght. 'mri sr'arlarr'p'r r'ghtonra, larlararf ir fri. Ton sr'r'ttarmor tri."
It matters not. If I fall, another replaces me. The plans continue.

What plans?
The tattered-robed troll growls, "Rawr 'ght nrij tr'sghu. Tri fo trrar'par ton sir grnrilurlor'wd r'rruo. Nr'r'no rruo fo ton 'rar srnarlorr'p r'rruo."
Our plans are not of your concern. Your dwelling is not apart of it. Just in the way.

A tattered robed troll looks over towards Moredin and nods.
A tattered robed troll mutters gutturally, "Girshnak."

Why won't you say anything more about your plans?
The tattered-robed troll growls, "Rar's larlurriwr ri larlurra sri targht. Snarlurpr 'ght sr larlorirw ruo."
You will see the plans. That is all I will say.

Sounds like a threat.
The tattered-robed troll growls, "Or's tnra'mr ton srri tir. Tra'rght ar sra tri 'r'krat ruo."
you take it as a threat. It is not meant so.

The tattered-robed troll growls, "Srragh r'r'ghtonar srt'krnrir'rt 'ght r'rof srlurlorrik 'lurprmrrir's targht dnirr'k ar ghtirw star'r'rght 'krarmor ir dlarghuowr ghw?"
A tattered robed troll motions to his tree bark totem.
Why would I make threats with a kind that simply kills for the trinkets another has.

He was then killed and the trinkets taken. Some thought he was just talking to save his hide while his brethren surrounded us.

You hear a guttural voice nearby growl, "S'gravrrasr Trollkin larlarar ruo dnar."
And you call Trollkin savages.

You hear a guttural voice nearby growl loudly, "S'mrirr'r r'rri'ght nri mor'ght ghn'r'rd. Ghr's'br 'r'w sr'arr'rg rruo, r'ghtomr n'ghtrar'!"
Earthen mother, your grace we beseech. Drown them in their crimes

Amazingly enough, it started to POUR rain. Really hard!

A group gathered and went to the troll lair where they were attacked by some lower level trolls, some massive troll sentries, and massive troll kings.

Most everyone died....

After we were healed, we gathered back in the lair and a darkly-robed troll decided to speak to those gathered;

A darkly-robed troll growls, "'srn'sr 'lorttirlor s'r'kramr dnrikr rghuo. Mri'ght 'vrirgr ot gnrilorlurrir'w 'no 'ght d'lurlurrikr ruo r'tfra srr'r'wrsnra ks ruo?"
You seek answers after you killed the one willing to give them. Your kind makes little sense

A darkly-robed troll growls, "Gnrilarlarirkr 'ght r'potr's ot tn'r'w 'gh."
He went to stop the killing.

A darkly-robed troll growls, "R'snar'mri mor br. D't'torr'p sri lurlurargh sright. Slarlar'prsr noirt'tor'rpr gnirtsar ghtra'rbr r'rruo 'tsarr'w ruo."
You waste your breath casting protection spells. This hall is protected by my means.

They protect us just fine
A darkly-robed troll growls, "Ghgrruon' larlar'r'w ton."
Not well enough.

A darkly-robed troll growls, "Dlarrigh ra srarw mor'ght fo 'no. Gnirsr'srapr dnrir'k r'rghuo fo tr'sr'rirf 'ght 'r'r'w d'lurlarrikr ghuo r'sr'ghto 'ght. R'rosrirvrdra 'no tn'sr larno 'r'w."
We only sent one advisor. The others you killed were the first of our kind passing. One of them was a child.

We killed one of your children?"
A darkly-robed troll growls, "R'snirkr mor fo 'no, 'nrimri ton."
Not mine, one of my kins.

Well, how many more must die before we seek a truce? You discuss no terms.
A darkly-robed troll growls, "D'r'pr'pots 'br ton lorlorriw 'ght dnra, G'bruk fo srnralurr'p 'r'vragh 'wr. 'larprmorrisr targht srri tir ,srmrir'r't on 'vrargh 'wr."
We have no terms. It is that simple. We have plans of G'bruk, and they will not be stopped.

What are your plans?
A darkly-robed troll growls, "Nr'no rruo fo 'non 'r'rra srnarlarr'p rruo."
Our plans are none of your concern.

Then why are we here?
A darkly-robed troll growls, "'r'sor'pr'prur's ir, 'r'romr 'mriosr sru larlorirk ot d'tnarwr ruo 'srruar'br."
Because you wanted to kill us some more, I suppose.

A darkly-robed troll growls, "R's'mrirr r'rghuo nri ruo ghn'rd lurlorriw r'ghtomor n'ghtr'rar' 'ght, n'ght lurirtnru. Srsrrapr ot 'moro 'ght n'ghwr nralorr'p rruo fo r'wonk lurlarrir'w ghuo."
You will know of our plan when they come to pass. Until then, the earthen mother will drench you in your crimes.

Why do you keep giving the same answer?
A darkly-robed troll growls, "R'r'wrsrnra 'morars 'ght t'gr ton lorlarirwr ghuo dnra, norits'ghu 'morarr's 'ght ton r'ksra n'ght." Then ask not the same question, and you will not get the same answer.

A darkly-robed troll growls, "Targht ot 'sirr'wr'r'ghto nsr sragh gnirlurtr'roghs rruo. R'sr'sraprj tr'sghu ot gnirog 'r'w 'wr. Raw rghuo nri lurr'pmriirs r'sarr'w grnrilarlar'wd rruo."
your dwelling was simply in our way. We were going to just pass.

Certainly you can understand our fear of your plans. Would you not feel similar if we didnae'
A darkly-robed troll growls, "Grnrilarlar'wrd r'rghuo 'vrar'lur tnod ruo."
you don't leave our dwelling."

A darkly-robed troll growls, "Fo 'rar 'w gnrilorlor'r'wd rruo ton sri tir tghubr. Gnrilartroghr's r'rghuo fo 'srghura'br 'grnragh larlorirw r'snarlurr'p rruo."
Our plans will change because of your shortling. But it is not your dwelling we are of

A darkly-robed troll growls, "Ruo fo trramorsr r'r'r'v. D'ssrar'p 'ght srar r'stn'onnri rruo grnrilarlarirkr no ruo d'nnralarr'p 'wr, r's'." Yes, we planned on you killing our innocents as they passed. Very smart of you.

A darkly-robed troll growls, "Fo d'r'sor'pr'sird dobr, d'toolur srt'krnirr'rt srrigh. Tri rof d'lorlorrikr r'srawr dnar. Gnrilarlur'r'wd r'rruo ot morrragh on r'sarw 'r'ght 'rghusn'. 'ar'r'p r'klarrat ot nwrot r'rghuo ot 'morar oghw r'ror'sirvrdra rruo d'lurlarrik grnirlurtr'roghsr rruo."
your shortling killed our advisor who came to your town to talk peace. Ensure there was no harm to your dwelling. And was killed for it. His trinkets looted. Body disposed of.

A darkly-robed troll growls, "Larrf r'r'gh noprru r'klorrar'w ot lorlarra r'swrolurlorra r'r'ghtomri n'ghtr'rar'. N'krot r'ffo 'w dlorruoghsr ghr'w?'
Why should we offer token? Earthen mother allows all to walk upon her freely.

Talk about the trolls fine trinkets and polished metals they wear;
A darkly-robed troll growls, "Lorrat'mr d'ghsrriloropr rar'r'w ruo. 'rghuor's r'r'ghgrrigh ra br d'dnruf ghuo 'rra?"
Are you funded by a higher source? You wear polished metal.

A darkly-robed troll growls, "Ssrghusrid ot grnrighton 'r'vragh 'w." We have nothing to discuss.

So, where does that leave us now? A darkly-robed troll growls, "Srnralarpr rruo 'ghunritno ot srru dnar. 'morogh rghuo fo 'larddirmr 'ght nri gnirdnratsr ghuo s'vrra'lur tir." It leaves you standing in the middle of our home. And us to continue our plans."

We can't trust you.
A darkly-robed troll growls, "N'ght, lurlorirwr ghuo traghwr tr'sghur'rt."
A darkly-robed troll shrugs.
Trust what you will, then.

What of the seige weapons we saw you carrying out of the lair?
A darkly-robed troll growls, "Srnoprra'r'w 'gr'irs on 'vrragh 'wr."
We have no siege weapons.

What were those wooden things we saw, then?
A darkly-robed troll growls, "Srgnirlarlur'r'wd."
Dwellings.

You carry your dwellings with you?
A darkly-robed troll growls, "G'bruk krsr 'w n'ght. Grnolur r'sri mrrigh dnrif otj 'nrghuo r'rghuo."
They are seeking G'Bruk..their journey is long

Who are you trying to find?"
A darkly-robed troll growls, "Mriirgh."
Him.

When you find G'Bruk...will you then turn and attack us? A darkly-robed troll growls, "Srr'r'ttramor 'r'slor' grnirghton, G'bruk dnrif 'r'w n'ghw." When we find G'bruk, nothing else matters.

Well, go find G'bruk then
A darkly-robed troll growls, "Ks 'wr oghwr 'gh ton r'sir G'bruk."
G'bruk is not he who we seek.

A darkly-robed troll growls, "Rasr ruo r'sra, sr'r'vlar'r'sr'rruo 'drulur'd ton od. Tri kr's dnra G'bruk fo r'wonkr 'r'r'ghwrr'r'r'v' Trollkin. Narlar rruo narght r'ggribr srri G'bruk."
G'bruk is bigger than our land. Trollkin everywhere know of G'bruk and seek it

A darkly-robed troll growls, "Krs 'w oghwr mririgh r'sgrnrirbr lurno r'ksr nir 'rirf."
Fire in sky only brings him who we seek.

For a little clarification;
The comet brings Him, and He brings G'bruk.

I don't remember what was asked at this point;
A darkly-robed troll growls, "Gnrilorlar'wd r'rruo ghgrghuorght srsrarr'p lurlorirwr 'w. Dr'rragr'r'r traght nir 'gnargh ton larlurirr'w r'snarlurpr r'rghuo tghubr, larruft'r'rgr'r'r mrra ir."
I am not grateful, but our plans will not change in that regard. We will pass through your dwelling.

It then left, or so we thought. When one asked Did they leave;
You hear a guttural voice nearby growl, "Dird 'wr, s'."
yes we did
