PART ONE
This being an account of the Battle Of Mook Valley between the Dwarves and Trolls,as told by Bjorn Stronginthearm,one of those who actually took part.
My fellow listeners of my tale,let me begin by telling you a few facts about the events which led to the Battle Of Mook Valley,and the history between my people and the Trolls.
It is commonly believed that Trolls are big cumbersome,stupid creatures,not so,Trolls come in all shapes and sizes.Their intelligence however is mainly determined by the surrounding temperature.
Because of their rich Silicon content,the colder it is the smarter a Troll becomes,and the reverse applies the more warm it gets,a Troll does not really get stupider,just it takes longer for them to think things through.
As for the fights thats arise between us well,it is more a cultural thing see,we Dwarves love nothing better than mining through mineral rich rocks,and Trolls during the hotter parts of the day tend to sit them out,and are made of well,mineral rich rocks.
And there is nothing worse than a pick axe sticking in you to awaken a resting Troll,and a Dwarf hates it when a mineral rich deposit clobbers him one with a dirty great big stone club.
The Troll is of course not helped by the fact they can be covered in lichen,some say the lichen is more intelligent than the actual Troll itself.
Things came to ahead many years ago when an army of Dwarves went to meet an army of Trolls,one making their way up Mook Valley the other down it,both lots setting up ambushes for the other,in fact when it was over it was described as the first battle where both armies ambushed each other.As for who won or lost ? Talk to the Trolls and they say;''We won,dem lost''..talk to a Dwarf,and you'll get the reply;''We won,they lost''.
