Return to Moria - Running Away: 11/20/23

Trogli Day 90 - Blocking to the Fifth Axe Fragment

Trogli went to the Orc Camp in search of the last piece of Durin's Axe. He decided to try a zero combat approach. He teased out the Orcs and then hopped over the broken column.

Shieldwall firmly in hand he walked to the arena where he saw the Warlord and ignored him.

Wandered into the centre and grabbed the last piece of Durin's Axe bashed the chests and grabbed the contents.

Next he returned to the chests at the start and stood over the totem, the Orcs smashed it for him! He grabbed the key and quickly emptied the chest taking a few hits.

Rinse and repeat on the other side.

A nice haul for not fighting at all!

There always seems to be a couple of bats appear after a boss fight, annoying.

Trogli Day 87,88,89 - Quarrymaster and Troll King

Trogli needed Adamant stone so he put one of his Black Diamonds to use and crafted the Masterwork Quarrymaster. He could not carry this and his Shieldwall so would have to be careful.

Trogli found an Orc Camp protecting the route into Durin's Forge so bravely built an arial route to avoid them.

Inside he encountered the Troll King and they had a bit of banter.

The Troll King started throwing shadow cursed boulders so Trogli nipped behind a post ...

... and the poor lad got stuck on the furniture allowing Trogli to ping away with his Crossbow without any danger!

About 50 Bolts later he was toast.

Trogli jogged down the stairs to the Great Forge and Seat of Durin 1.

The Troll King kindly left 9 black diamonds behind.

There were various books lying around, one mentioned the Khazadstone.

The Forge needed the usual repairs ...

... and afterwards Trogli can now craft a Salt Bath to sooth his aching feet and purify Gundabad Slag.

Trogli restored Durin's statue with the only Adamant stone he had.

Trogli Day 85,86 - Despair

Trogli needed some more Black Diamonds so visited his Mine Shaft camp without Pale Hope. His camp was besieged wasting valuable time and while watching the Fiery Beast he forgot to eat and died.

He returned and did the same thing again! Fool of a dwarf.

The Fiery Beast had spawned the wrong side of the Barrier Trogli built on his previous visit so he deconstructed it then penned the Beast in allowing Trogli to mine in peace.
