Covered with rotting meat from nearby wildlife, the Troll's lair reeks of death.  If the stench alone wasn't enough to scare off an unfortunate travelers who stumbled upon it, the bones of unlucky spelunkers would be.  The Troll places his spoils near the numerous stalagmites on the damp cave wall, his red eyes patiently scanning the dark cave interior for anything that may disturb his isolation.
The Troll's Lair, Cave
a turtle can't escape fast enough to avoid being eaten
traveler
I am a refugee from another kingdom.  I have seen my die from bandits.  I wish to find freedom in another place.
A turtle and a rat. That is my only company in this horrible place. Could be worse. Could be a troll keeping you company. I have to figure out a way to escape from this lair. It stinks of rotting meat. Escape? Good luck with that! You'd have to get past the troll ... or fight him! I will fight with this bone. I am not going to sit and wait to die!!! You'd be better off waiting for him to try to eat you and then jamming the bone in his throat.  Actually, that's not a bad idea! I will take you with me. After the bandits killed my family, I can't stand to see another killed, even a defenseless turtle. Thank you, kind sir! I would never be able to escape otherwise. Ok, now were talking. I have found a club. Now the odds are better. Maybe you should wait until he is asleep and then use the club. Make use of every advantage that you can. Yes, I know he must rest soon. That is when I will attack. And then we will be free! You are such a good man. Such a strong man.  I am only a lowly turtle but can I consider you to be my friend?
