The rushing noise of a swift stream grows louder as you approach an old, stone bridge.

You may Sneak this encounter.

The bridge is the only way to cross the torrent. If you wish to cross then, as you are halfway across, a slimy, warty hand reaches over the parapet and the hideous bulk of a troll pulls itself onto the walkway in front of you. To pass the troll you must give up all the food in your knapsack. If you do not have any, or don’t want to, you will have to fight past him. Make an Opposed Strength Test (Troll Strength 5). If you are successful you may go on your journey, but leave the troll miniature on the tile, he will attack again should you pass this way. If you are unsuccessful you must return the way you have come and lose 2 Endurance from the Troll’s punches.
