The river is small and winding and hard to see because there are no lights within its' location. The river has many colorful rocks and gems.

I am a big hairy troll that lives under the bridge. No one dares to come this way out of fear. I am not necessarily mean, but people won't see me that way. The way I look is scary, but that is not my fault. I only want to be accepted by everyone.
I apologize, shall we get right to business then? Yes, but it's certainly dark here. Can you see any of the gems under the water? My big eyes are good for seeing in the dark.  I do see a few gems scattered around but they are few and far between.  \ That's great. Thank goodness for your troll eyes! We'll tie this sail cloth to the broken pole and fish up some of those gems. I see a bigger deposit further down the stream, but there is also a corpse near it... what do you think? Gads! A corpse! Tell me, can you tell who it is? Is it my fair mermaiden? Alas, it is the mermaiden that you kidnapped last night!  Did you not think I would come to avenge her? You! It was you she was seeing behind my back! Behind your back?! You stole her from her home and tried to have her mounted at the Fishing Store! Is that what she told you? That I tried to mount her at the Fishing Store? LIES Well, tell me your side of the story.  I can't always trust her, she is a little aloof, you know? I asked her to be my bride, and she agreed as long as she could continue to play with the dolphins. Hey, did she mean the football team or actual dolphins?
