On the other hand, as long as you don't lose track of time something like this is really helpful when you're questing. Once you get used to the fishy taste and chewy texture it's really handy to have a meat supply that constantly renews itself.

Trophy Troll
The talented Alice Tochylovska brings us this Jotun troll head. Before you think of adding it to your trophy wall let me warn you how incredibly dangerous something like this is. As anyone who's played old school Dungeons and Dragons could tell you, trolls regenerate. The only way to kill them for sure is fire.

It's funny you mentioned that... in the Pathfinder game I'm currently in, we beat a troll and my character has been carrying around the troll's head in a bag of holding. After lots of research by my DM she came to the conclusion that because the bag of holding doesn't have air getting into it the troll can't regenerate whilst in the bag. I'm hoping at some point to use it like a long fuse bomb. Put it down in someone's basement and then quickly walk away leaving them to deal with an angry troll that's been stuffed in a bag for weeks :D

ReplyDeleteHeh.
I wish I could remember the name of a Mythos story that had a similar conceit. It involved a cannery in present day Innsmouth that was meeting it's quota by carving up imprisoned Deep Ones in the middle of the night. They would regenerate during the day, only to to be flayed to the bone once again the next night. It was a horrifically disturbing piece.

ReplyDeleteThose were the days... *sigh*
Ooooo if you do remember it I would love to give it a look.
ReplyDeleteBe game I ever played - honestly
ReplyDeleteKept coming back to it for years. Then life happened...
Anne Rice’s, Queen of the Damned (1988) takes place in ancient Egypt and features among other things, cattle who were exposed to the vampire bug. When people ate the undead meat, it writhed around inside of them, eventually “killing” them or at least making them undead. So sufferers were chopped up, still not killing them, and then chunked into the Nile, to lie in the mud and flop around forever. So beware about troll jerky.
