[Thinlómien]

It was noon and very dark in the troll cave. Not a single ray of sunshine pierced the darkness that protected the diminished tribe of trolls. Seven trolls were in deep sleep, exhausted after the fight in the early hours of the morning. One troll that could never sleep just sat in the dark, wavering between waking life and sleep, between vigilance and drowsiness. There was nothing to see in the dark, and too much to hear. The noise - as you must remember by now - of the trolls' snoring would have scared a way the fiercest pack of wolves. Unfortunately for the poor trolls, what they were facing was a pack of wizards.

A troll rolled over in his sleep and bumped into another. His fellow gave him a good kick, and momentarily the first troll awoke. He opened his eyes in the picth dark, closed them again and fell back into his dreamless slumber. Another troll was dreaming of roast dwarves, while one was having nightmares of the dúnadan ranger that had given her such a wound in her leg that she still limped a little, however well she hid it. All was dark and as peaceful as it ever could be in a troll cave.

Then suddenly there was a whistling noise, barely audible over the trolls' snores. A light appeared, speeding upwards. Then BOOM! All the trolls were suddenly wide awake. Red and green flowers of light were raining on them from the ceiling, accompanied by loud booms and pops. The smell of gunpowder hung in the air. In the faint light of the fireworks, the trolls could for a few seconds see the shapes of other trolls, sitting or standing up, frozen in amazement or terror. Then there was a loud CRACK and a thunderous tumult that could only mean part of the cave had collapsed.

For several minutes, chaos reigned. There were shouts of "Blimey!" and "Lemme out of here!" and "It's day outside ye booby!" and many curses so vile that it would make you shudder if you heard them. After a while, the trolls figured out that whatever had happened wasn't happening anymore and went to sleep. They slept uneasily, however, red and green sparks flying around in their minds, never granting them the usual peace of sleep.

When evening finally came and the first trolls awoke, they found out one corner of the cave had collapsed. After much arguing, they decided to clear the rubble: after all, they did not remember if they hadn't stored any food or valuables in that particular spot. It took them a few hours to remove the stones, and they didn't find anything they would've missed - instead they found the battered and lifeless body of poor Green. Even the stupidest of the trolls was able to reach the conclusion that the wizards had killed again.
