Good call, trolls are wise enough to be opportunists. They might lair in any place they can be reasonably sure is secure while they digest the last meal they had, and think about the next.Maybe the enclosed wagon of travelers they waylay, perhaps the silo of a farmer whose cattle and sheep go missing.My suggestion thatthey live in caves originates not from their lack of intelligence, but my perception of them as lazy. An imaginative or particularly cunning troll would surely lair someplace that would afford some kind of surprise...imagine a troll hunter that might lead a pack of trolls to build a mock camp, a camp that from a distance might resemble any human or demi human travelers camp. A cookfire, some small tents and some presonal effects strewn about, perhpas a pouch or small box...what adventurer would pas up the chance to investigate the camps strange absence, and perhaps scavenge some free gear or loot. Suddenly the tents are torn aside to reveal an entire pack of ravenous trolls. Caves might put adventurers on guard, and so might not make the best lair for our trolls.</blockquote>
