"Dead troll yesterday, dead troll the day before yesterday, and blimey, if it don't look like dead troll again today," said Cop when the dwindled amount of trolls met again as the dark fell.
"Never a blinking bit of wizzer-flesh have we had for long enough," said Kat. "Why the 'ell did we bring all this wood here, beats me," she added, gesturing towards the large pile of firewood that had been resting in the corner of the cave for two days.
"P'raps we might make somethin' tonight," Lad suggested. "If we start now, we can roast some-un tonight."
"You 'ave a lotta nerve doin' that after we already lost so many o' us," said Cab.
"Yer called me?" asked Lot and Nerve at the same time.
"No, I didn't," said Cab.
"Yer did!" Lot and Nerve yelled, but then Rick intervened:
"Shut up, all three o' you! If we want a wizzer for supper, we should start."
"Bu' who shall we eat?" asked Nog.
"Not me!" shouted Mors. That of course made him immediately the target.
"Hold 'im tight," advised Sal as several of them grappled Mors. "We don't want 'im to start a-fightin' again."

And so it was done. The trolls started a fire, then kept adding wood until they had a large fire crackling, and then they tied poor Mors to a trunk of still green uprooted tree and began roasting him above the fire. But as you may know, trolls have really hard skin which is like stone, and poor Mors actually burned rather than roasted, his skin became all black and his blood boiled. The smoke sent the trolls coughing and terrible smell filled the cavern.

"Um, I'm not eatin' that," said Lad amidst the fits of cough.
"I don't 'ave the taste for it, either," said Cab.
"So no food again?" asked Kat, disappointed.
"You can eat it, if you have the nerve," said Nerve.
"Nah, let's just throw it away," Sal suggested.
"Let's just go back to sleep," said Nog.
"With empty stomach," Cop sighed.
"We been doin' that a lot," said Rick.
"Shut up," said Lot.

And so they went. Needless to say, some of them were far happier about the result of roasting Mors than they seemed.

Night 6 has started. Wizzers, plan. Insomniac and Purse-troll, plan as well. Rest, rest.

Thinlómien · 01-31-2013, 04:01 PM

The next day was a rainy one. Unhappy, the three wizars spent it under a huge spruce, trying to come up with the best course of action. It was very damp there too, and they did not dare make a proper fire. They were blowing smoke rings to amuse themselves, but after they had made smoke rings in the shapes of several dozen different animals, it wasn't so fun anymore. They were running out of ideas, too.

"I doubt there's even enough sunlight through those darned clouds that it could turn a troll into stone," complained one of the wizards.
One of his fellows peered out from under the tree's boughs. "There might be," he said. "It's more about how we can get a troll out of the cave. They saw what happened to their bosses, and even trolls are not so stupid that they would forget such a thing quickly."
"You have forgotten all about uncloaking," said the third wizard, suddenly merry. "We wake the troll up - quietly - and tell her it's night already and suggest we go to find some food. One of us stands at the cave entrance, uncloaking, so that it's all darker than it should be, and once the troll is out, he stops uncloaking and sunlight gets her. Smart, isn't it?"

The other two wizards didn't have any objections, so the wizards assumed the likenesses of trolls and stalked into the cave. They grouped around Lot's bed and one of them kicked her shin.

"C'mon lazy! It's already nightfall. Let's go and get some food before the others wake up and we might actually catch somethin," one wizard said in a troll voice.
"Blimey, I could swear that was not a full day's sleep," Lot grumbled.
"Let's not wake the other 'uns. Let's go," said another wizard.
"Then why are ye a-taking me with you?" asked Lot, slow but suspicious.
"You can hunt. We need you. Now shut yer mouth and follow or we change our minds," said the wizard who had spoken first.

They made their way towards the entrance of the troll cave. The third wizard had removed the stone that was protecting it, and had he not stood there, tall and dark and uncloaked, the grey daylight would have made its way in.

"Hang on," said Lot. "That fella standing there looks and awful lot like a wizzer."
"It's just a shadow on the wall," one of the wizards said quickly.
"I'm not going," Lot announced.
"You have to!" the wizards said hastily.
"No," said Lot.
"Yes," they said, and pushed Lot towards the entrance with all their might.

The wizard uncloaking stepped away quickly. Daylight spread a ten or so feet into the troll-cave. Shielding her face with her hand and growling angrily, Lot tried to grope for the wizard she had just seen in the entrance. Something fell from her pocket. "'Ere, 'oo are you?" it squaked. The wizard stood, too surprised to act. "You look like a wizzer to me," squaked the purse. Lot gripped the wizard by his neck and lifted him to air. "'Oo are you?" the purse repeated angrily. "I'm McCandalf, let me go," wailed the wizard, but it was already too late.

Cloudy as it was, Lot was slowly turning into stone, her huge hands safely wrapped around McCandalf's throat. The two other wizards could do nothing but watch their friend suffocate in the stony grasp. Crying in dismay, they retreated back to the woods and long they wept for their fallen comrade. They took the troll-purse with them, however, and burned it in a bright fire, never minding who might see it.

They returned to the cave by nightfall and pretended to sleep like the trolls. When they all woke up, they found the stony figure of Lot standing in the doorway with her fist curled around nothing that they could see. On the ground, however, they found a staff and a wizard's robes, and after much debate, they also concluded that Cab was missing.

Day 6 has started. Have fun chatting, but only on this thread please.

Nogrod · 01-31-2013, 04:15 PM

Well done Lottie!

So yesterDay's wagon didn't just get going by itself as I thought. The question remains whether one or two remaining Wizards were involved too. And my hunch would be yes.

But it's off to bed for me now. I should have an easier day toDay so hopefully some decent time to actually play this for a change.

5:2 is not too bad at this point. Two Days to go at minimum.
