The Malifestro Quest


"I'm not afraid of some bones or a few silly rats," says Juranda. "I'm going to see what's beyond that doorway."

"I'm coming too."

They enter the darkened room. When their eyes adjust, they realize that they are in an anteroom for a larger room beyond. An armed troll sits near the inner door. He must be much brighter than the average troll, for he speaks (though slowly and quite poorly).

"You, uh, you aren't supposed to, uh, come in here," the troll says.

"We were just looking around," says Juranda.

"Nice little kiddies," the troll says. He pats them on the head, nearly bashing their skulls.

"Ouch!" yells Juranda.

"Oh, uh, sorry. Too strong for my own good, mother used to say."

He gives them a friendly tap on the shoulder, breaking Bivotar's arm in two places.

"Oops. I sometimes, uh, forget my own, uh, my own strength. Now c'mon, go away before you get in, uh, in trouble."

He nudges them toward the door with his sword. Forgetting his own strength again, he accidentally slices them into pieces.

"Oops," says the troll.
