Gronash had it all: spikes, scales and a fine pair of horns.
He was also large, standing a full head taller than the lumpen creatures that
could be loosely called his clan. He was also smart, being able to fashion
rudimentary clothing from the scraps of armour and cloth scavenged by his misshapen
underlings, who could barely summon the intellectual capacity to pick their own
noses. Yes, with the roomiest cave, the choicest kills and the sharpest teeth, Gronash
was a real troll’s troll.
He was less than pleased then, when a big hot fizzing thing
fell from the sky and landed at the mouth of his lair. Gronash was sent flying
one way and his dinner sent the other. Picking himself up, he surveyed the bits
of carcass splattered across the cave wall and growled. It was those stupid
pink squishy things and their bright burny magic again. Many of his cousins had
limped back to the Trollpatch with tales of these little annoyances, but this
was the last straw.
Gronash strode out of the singed cave and howled, calling to
his closest cousins. Then he fished about his loincloth for his nose picking
stick, scooped up his favourite bashing rock and strode off towards the old
city. Someone was going to pay…
