[QUOTE="Ancalagon, post: 7512235, member: 23"] Kalorn did not flinch from the cold, nor the rowing. Let them think it was because he was tough, or spell-bound... it was true wasn't it? No need to boast of the sword's protective magic. Still... He had to admit, this was a fierce environment. He checked on the others to make sure they were coping with the cold ok - particularly Lorenn, who he suspected would make jokes and freeze solid instead of admitting there was a problem. They were going to need that fool to scout ahead damn it. He gladly accepted the northerner's hospitality. Food, this far north, and shelter? Goatmeat was a king's feast in this place. He hoped the others understood the gesture. So it was worth a tale. [B]"So a few years ago, I was ranging with this dwarf, Tarkol. The road north of Archendale had been plagued by trolls, and there was a hefty bounty. We had a routine - track it, kill it, burn it down. One of us would keep hacking at it while the other prepared a bonfire. This worked great until we found this big great one, a vicious bastard. He grabbed Tarkol and snapped his neck, he was so strong. But he was greedy - he leaned down to take a bite out of poor Tarkol, exposing his neck, and I lopped that troll's head clean off. Not sure I would have managed otherwise. It wasn't bad enough that Tarkol was dead - a good companion *and* he owed me money. Now I had to make a fire to burn that troll and keep it down at the same time! I must have killed that thing 50 times before I finally managed to gather enough wood for a fire. By the time I was done my sword was notched and bent. I buried Tarkol and took the troll's skull back to Archendale. When they saw how big it was, they gave me a new sword.
