This little adventure is dedicated to the members of Trollhalla, 2002-2010. They were the
best Tunnels and Trolls players in the world, and a finer group of companions would be
sought in vain. --Ken St. Andre, a.k.a. the
Trollgod

the process." He just grins through his
grisly gray beard. "Start when you're
ready!"

There is no choice but to fight. The creature

has a monster rating of 10 (2D6 + 5). The
body is lightly armored, and the first point
of damage will bounce off it. Fight! If you
win, go to <C>. If you lose, you're dead.

(If you have been in this room before there

is a dead creature on the floor--it has
nothing of value, because you already took
the pouch. Go to <C>, but ignore the part
about finding money. You already found
it.)
<C> You are locked in a red room with a
dead creature. When you search the
creature, you find 1D6 worth of gold pieces
in a small pouch on its underbody. Why
would such a monster carry gold? Could it
have been intelligent? The door behind you
is locked, but after a few minutes you hear a
click and it unlocks. Exiting, you find
yourself at <A>. (If you have been here
before, there is no pouch.)

<D> As you go through the door, you hear

it lock behind you. You are in a small room
with yellow walls, and also in that room is a
froglin--half frog, half goblin, all trouble. It
has a big jagged bronze knife in its hand,
and it's coming down on you. Luckily, your
weapon is in your hand, and you're ready
to fight. The froglin has a monster rating of
22 (3D6 + 11). If you win the fight, go to
<H>. Otherwise, you're dead. (If you have been in this room before, the
froglin is still dead--go to <H>.)

<E> You walk out of the Maze, and the

Maze Master asks you, "What are you
doing? This is the beginning, not the end.
You may either leave the adventure or go
back into the maze at <A>.

<F> You are in a long corridor that turns at

right angles several times. The walls here
are painted orange. At one end of the hall is
a door with a $ on it--if you go through it,

once again you find yourself locked in a
small room. (If you have been in this room
before, the froglin is still dead. If you didn't
take his stuff the first time, you may take it
now.) You search the froglin and find a
bronze dagger worth 2D6 + 1 in combat,
and a small pouch with 2D6 gold pieces in
it. After about ten minutes, you hear a click,
and you can open the door again. Coming
out of the room, you find yourself back at

savage warrior has a heavy iron tulwar in
his hand, and has a monster rating of 34
