Doomed to seek his death, the Trollslayer is a strange and
often depressing companion. He neither seeks nor receives friendship, wherever
he goes. This means that there is always a chance that he might get in
situations that others would not.
What follows is a list of Events from the roleplay book that are resolved
differently for the Trollslayer. After that is a table that the Trollslayer can
roll on if the Roleplay book claims that he has an Uneventful Day. The
Trollslayer's quest precludes most opportunities of a day off!
Event No. | Difference |
15 | The Trollslayer has no interest in gold, or the trappings of wealth. He will ignore any prattling human. Either roll for another event, or roll on the Drinking Den table. |
24 | he Trollslayer is not interested in human charlatans, and will not go to the circus. Roll again for the day's event. |
Roll 1D6 | Event |
1 | The Trollslayer gets involved in a head butting competition. Although he wins, he suffers the effects… for the next adventure he has -1 Initiative and -1D3 Starting Wounds. However, he has also become immune to a certain amount of pain, and has Ignore Pain 1 for the duration of the adventure. |
2 | A boorish human merchant insults the Trollslayer. Roll 1D6 to see how he reacts.1-3 Once he defeats him and all seven members of his bodyguard, the Trollslayer finds it hard to get served in a Trader. All stock rolls for him are at -2.4-6 Once he defeats him and all seven members of his bodyguard, the Trollslayer finds he is a hero in the local trading circles. All stock rolls for him are at +2. |
3 | The Trollslayer has nothing much to do today, so he heads for the alehouse. Roll 1D3. On a 1 he goes to a Drinking Den, on a 2 an Alehouse, and on a 3 a Pub. Pay for entry and roll for an event as normal. |
4 | Many dwarfs feel nervous around Trollslayers, but an influential dwarf lord in this area respects them. The Trollslayer is given 1D3 pieces of Stonebread and a cask of Dwarf Special Reserve. When drunk this restores 1D6 wounds. Roll an extra 1D6- on a 1 the Trollslayer collapses blind drunk. On a 6 all of his wounds are healed. There is enough for a single (Trollslayer-sized) drink. |
5-6 | It really is an Uneventful Day! |
