I think she has enough babies on her hands for the moment especially for a girl who ain't actually married yet... at this rate they will end up like an elvish von Trapp family wandering around the mountains singing.....

I hope pio doesn't mind me pasting in this excellent reference material she provided on Troll killing for "The fall of the North" 's Troll episode.... I seem to be a troll magnet...

"There are six types of Troll written by Tolkien: See HERE. Only the Stone trolls encountered by Bilbo and the Dwarves were mentioned to be turned to stone with the sun's light.

I would imagine that if cleverly knocked down, a nice sharp stave/spear could be rammed in between the scales of the troll's hide (An armpit would be good - puncture the lung, and if shoved far enough and at a downward angle, the heart would be pierced). Or one right through the ear hole into the brain would do it. And of course there are always the eyes . . .
