Murder at the Ruptured Troll
Murder at the Ruptured Troll was the first actual short story that Ken wrote about what life was like for people living on Trollworld. Set in Khosht¸ the first town created to act as a headquarters for dungeon delvers and other adventurers¸ Murder sets the scene in a humorous way for a world where many kinds of humanoid creatures intermingle freely. The protagonists of this tale are human¸ but the other characters are elves¸ dwarves¸ uruks¸ hobbs¸ goblins and trolls. It features everyone's favorite sexy adventuress¸ Flaming Cherry. In addition to being a rousing story that will keep you chuckling all the way through¸ the book also gives instructions for playing the story as a short¸ introductory scenario for Deluxe Tunnels and Trolls¸ a good way to get new players into the world¸ and a new GM into his/her duties as the Master of the Game. The story has undergone a few minor updates to make it consistent with the current deluxe edition of T & T.
