Message: <blockquote data-quote="Carlo-One" data-source="post: 9747616" data-attributes="member: 7015827">Dermot took Lloria’s hint and silently exited the cabin to do some tracking of potential troll spoor, apparently the ranger’s preference rather than to pass the time with his grumpy companion. Old Hamish then ordered his dog Runner to patrol, explaining that it looked all quiet, but it was good to have him on duty. After checking briefly outside the door after his dog’s departure, the hermit forcefully expressed his hope that they got all of the monsters, pounding his fist into his palm, even though it wouldn’t bring his Belle back. Lloria shared her concern that they had not encountered a troll matron in the lair, although the warrior priest observed that might just be something particular to the Silver March troll tribes. Old Hamish was surprised and impressed that she could tell the sex of a troll.Lloria and Rosten traded some barbs about the chaotic fight against the trolls, as the former complained about the sloppy strategic nature of the fight, while the latter was just happy to have escaped with his skin and some gold to show for it. The hin also accepted with thanks another jug of Hamish’s hooch. Ignoring his companions’ chatter, Aerikoth queried Old Hamish about the chances of encountering another troll in the wilderness. The hermit ranger was willing to bet there would be no more trolls for quite a distance, given the size of the troll nest they had exterminated. However, after the mage asked about retrieving a troll or other suitable monster for the Quivering Thumb arena in Westgate, Old Hamish said he would be happy to help, for a finder’s fee.Lloria perked up at the discussion of the arena fights, saying she had a mind towards joining some of the fights. Rosten encouraged the idea, since the business was one ripe for coin, as the hin put it. Aerikoth noted that a former companion, whom the wizard believed was a Purple Knight from Cormyr, had fought in the arena for personal justice, but had returned there to see to some family matters. Lloria liked the notion of attracting Zhents or Baneites to attempt to kill her, stating she would relish the chance to chop them into pieces. (The Tormite priest's thirst for blood and action runs counter to our own Order's normal methods. However, as in the revered example of Brother Veran's quest to kill the ancient lich Ashnakzeroth, sometimes the fight must be taken to the enemy. --C)</blockquote>
