Trogli Day 100,101 - Dispelling the Curse

 

Trogli took Durin's Axe to the Doors of Durin and dispelled the curse but the doors would not open. He went to the Crossroads ...
... and dispelled the Curse there as well.
Trogli pressed on to The Crossroads of Zirakzigil and ...
... Durin's Highway.
The croaky bird said the King wants Trogli to kill the Dragon with a Mithril spear.
Trogli pressed on to try and find Mithril. He found another Ranger Camp ...
... and had to choose a way at Cruel Caradhras, he went right.
Trogli RAN AWAY from some Cursed Orc into a Star-metal Ore Lode.
Trogli dodged past the Orcs before his shield broke ... 
... and managed to set up a camp.

Trogli Day 98,99 - When is an Axe not an Axe?

 

Trogli used his Copper to craft another Brew Kettle to brew  some Ironheart Stout. He had hoped to get Pale Hope from his High Spirits but no luck so he Fast Travelled down to his Deep Mine Shaft and planned to stave off Despair with snacks.
He found some Sunstones ...
... and Diamonds.
Another siege in the deep mine, really? Trogli ignored this and used the trick to block him in.
Trogli mined 24 Sunstones, great.
Trogli crafted a Salt Bath ...
... and purified his Gundabad Slag into Durinul Ingots.
He took these to the Great Forge of Durin and crafted Durin's Axe.
When is an axe not an axe? When it is a Pickaxe.

Trogli Day 94,95,96,97 - Copper, Tin and Gold

 

Trogli made his way towards the Crossroads raiding more Orc Chests on the way. The Crossroads was Cursed ...
... so he needs to Dispel the Curse. Durin's Axe can do that but Trogli needs Sunstones to craft it.
He sets up a Mapstone near the Crossroads to get back quickly then back to camp.
His Belegost armour has given such good service he rewards it with a paint job.
Trogli is hassled by Orcs on his way to the Dark Mine Shaft.
He needs Quarrymaster to mine but he needed Shieldwall to get there, he can only carry one Masterwork at a time.
A Mapstone at the bottom means he can bring Quarrymaster but the Orcs still hassle him. Trogli decides to use Quarrymaster to mine some other ores he needs and goes back to the Lower Deep ...
... but the Orcs even follow him here! Trogli finishes it off and get on with mining ...
... Gold ...
... Tin ...
... and some much needed Copper.

Trogli Day 91,92,93 - Uruk Action

 

Trogli adventured through Dwarrowdelf avoiding Trolls and collecting enough Adamant to splash out on a Grand Hearth,
He snuck past the mini-dragons ...
... and used his blocking technique to raid more Orc Chests.
The Orcs and Uruks don't get on, lots of loot for Trogli to pick up including the vital Gundabad Slag.
Durin's Lamps could dispell the Shadow Curse if you carry True Quartz and Granite around with you.
Trogli enjoyed watching a Drake, Warg, Orc fight and got a Scale out of it.
Trogli settled down for rest in a makeshift camp.
