Managing to escape from the mob and the knight in the forest once again, you grumble and fume over the state of things as you pull arrows and spears from your body.
<span class="mu-g">"Grrrr... if no night, people happy and welcome Strogga. No trouble to visit before, now hew-mans hate Strogga!"</span>
Talk about disappointing, you're so upset that you'd shed a big troll tear if you weren't so angry! All those years of good relations with the village now ruined by some mean outsider, coming to cause trouble because of that stupid war! If you ever get a hold of him, there's no telling what you'll do! Crush his puny limbs one by one and then pull them off, or maybe take him back to his home to watch as you ruin his life in return!
Whatever the case, you don't give up on your plan or your hope for the village and its people. You just think that as long as the knight remains to foster hatred towards you, then you won't be able to deal with the humans directly as you used to be able to. At least that's what you believe, hoping it has nothing to do with how the villagers may just actually feel about you now that the knight is there as a shield from your retaliation.
So with your plan still in mind, still committed to it, you realize you may need to change things a little. The harpy reward still must be waiting but it seems you can't be the one to personally claim it... unless of course you try to by force. If you want to do things the peaceful way however, it may be that you need to find some human who could act on your behalf. Or pretend that they killed the harpies, something like that. Either way a human to deal with humans, to take the dead harpies from you and return with the reward!
...but then, what human could you trust that much and how would you even find them? You already tried trusting the squire and look where that got you? The more you think about it, the more you realize and worry that any human might also betray you and just keep the reward for themself!
<span class="mu-g">"Hrmmm... if only babs were here..."</span>
Yes, how simple this would all be if your kids were still around. Ah but who knows where they got off to? No, you expect you'll have to come up with some solution of your own if you want to benefit from all the hard thinking and hard work you put into this amazing plan of yours!
What a terrible and unfair predicament for a good and honest troll to be in!
