Castle Oldskull: Oldskull Trolls (d20)
 |
Have they now come for thee?
Ah¸ the trolls of Groohlz-Drakha!
Forsaken progeny of Mung the death god¸
Accursed children of the Grendel-Modor...
Fearlessly¸ forever ravening¸ ever-healing¸ they lie in wait.
Will your heroes slay these deathly fiends
To learn the gravest secrets of Castle Oldskull¸
Or will they merely fall to blood and ruin
As so many have before?
