CJ : OK< Calpurnia  knows that the horn was in the bushes near the cliff, and the others entered the regio between the pine trees
CJ : She does not know what happened inside, right?
CJ : No one told her, and she was busy playing with the horn
Calpurnia : Correct
CJ : Near the bushes the horn hung upon in the mountain side is a small wooden door, painted bright yellow and blindingly obvious
CJ : Calpurnia :  never saw it though
CJ : When the horn was blown a troll came out of it.
CJ : Only 6" high, h ewas far from fearsome.
Calpurnia : ....... damned faerie magic

CJ : Ah but remeber, this fearsome beast scared two of your comrades away!
Nyaa : (I am still not sure jacket and trouser is invented yeT)
CJ : I thought you realised how ting the troll is
Calpurnia : (Hmmm well it was Baruch he scared though)
CJ : No it's not. He is an anachronistic Troll. they often are
Calpurnia : (I techncially knew but 6inches)
CJ : He si not dressed in any clothes you regard as normal, tasteful or even sane
Nyaa : of course, because troll
Calpurnia : (Wait I have clothing I call tasteful?)
CJ : After the others left, you and the troll negotiated, and you posed a bargain. What to tell Nyaa  what it was?
Nyaa : she did
CJ : (Black - it hides the bloodtsains)
Calpurnia : (True)
Calpurnia : (Black, brown, grey)
CJ : The Troll looks at you suspiciously. "So you is an Ice Queen? "
CJ : And you want a ridde contest?
Calpurnia : "Ice Princess" says with itimidating voice
CJ : If you lose, you will be Ice Queen and i the Mountain King?
Calpurnia : "As was the terms, and if you lose, what did I say"
Nyaa : "You say I win!"
CJ : Er, something about I must serve you honey scones and tea?
Calpurnia : (Do I have to say what I typed?)
CJ : (You are not sure what they are. prsumably foul troll foood)
CJ : (Nope)
Calpurnia : "Not entirely, you will become my minion and do EVERYTHING I say. This goes from giving me food, to telling me everything you know, and even as far as dieing by my order"
Calpurnia : all intimidatingly cold voice, with cold stare
CJ : HUmmmppphhh! Says the Troll. As sure as my name is Axel Erik Coneliussen, I won't lose this riddle contest!
Calpurnia : "Then prove it Axel Erik Coneliussen, possible King of the Mountains"
CJ : Shall I ask the riddle?YOu can have three guesses before we go find you a nice briadal gown says the Troll
CJ : You are travelling down the Trollvalle to visit your dear friend Makara, who is waiting a the end of the fjord. It's so nice to see him, birthday, you want to give him the fishies you've caught.
CJ : Between your house and Makara, you have to cross 7 bridges, and obviously there is a troll under every bridge! Each troll dutifully insists that you pay a troll toll. Before you can cross their bridge, you have to give them half of the fishies you are carrying, but as they are kind trolls, they each give you back a single fish.
CJ : How many cakes do you have to leave here with to make sure that you arrive at Makara with exactly 2 fishies?
Nyaa : (My brain exploded)
Calpurnia : (Damn you)
CJ : The Troll giggles.
Calpurnia : (wait)
Nyaa : (This is one of those not math problem puzzle)
Calpurnia : (I need my calc, but it looks like it's not possible)
Nyaa : (The answer is not gotten with math)
Nyaa : (I know that much)
Nyaa : (or maybe it is)
Nyaa : (in a simple way)
Calpurnia : (yeah, who knows but to understand it you must know the logical way and the riddle way)
CJ : Makara like fishcakes?
Nyaa : (One thing for sure, riddle like this never need calulator to solve it)
CJ : The Troll laughs again. And your second answer?
Calpurnia : (so my first wasn't it?)
CJ : Your first was I assume indignant silence!
CJ : If you want you can use your Enigmatic Wisdom Skill
Nyaa : (roll your wisdom now?)
Calpurnia : "........ It isn't possible"
CJ : INT + Enigmatic Wisdom
Nyaa : (Or roll !div for the hell of it)
Nyaa : (Maybe roll !div if you glitch))
Calpurnia : (soo what is the response to that CJ : ?)
CJ : Course it's possibl;e says the Troll!
Calpurnia : !roll 1d10+1 (+1 interpreting signs)
TrollBotCalpurnia : , (+1 interpreting signs):  8: 7+1
CJ : I make fishcakes every night!
Calpurnia : (sooooooooooooo)
CJ : You realiise the Troll can not distinguish between a fish and a cake. They mean the same thing to him.
CJ : So you can rephrase the riddle as follows:
CJ : You are travelling down the Trollvalle to visit your dear friend Makara, who is waiting a the end of the fjord. It's so nice to see him, birthday, you want to give him the fishies you've caught.
CJ : Between your house and Makara, you have to cross 7 bridges, and obviously there is a troll under every bridge! Each troll dutifully insists that you pay a troll toll. Before you can cross their bridge, you have to give them half of the fishies you are carrying, but as they are kind trolls, they each give you back a single fish.
CJ : How many fishes do you have to leave here with to make sure that you arrive at Makara with exactly 2 fishies?
CJ : or you could have rolled one higher and known th solutions, of which there are three
Calpurnia : Confidence.........
CJ : OK.
Calpurnia : (time to use my stockpile of 6)
Calpurnia : (now done to 5)
CJ : The logical answer is two. The obvious answer is none:  Makara carries the fish pulp, and has a fishy flying about. The Enigmatic Answer is Hansine purrs and all the world quakes.
CJ : You can use any of the above
Calpurnia : (HAHHAHAHAHAHHA)
CJ : If you try two out it fits
Calpurnia : none, Makara already have two fish that I can arrive with
Calpurnia : (lol)
Calpurnia : (Logical answer blew past me)
CJ : The Troll stamps his foot and shouts "Best of Three!" He looks very annoyed!
Nyaa : (Hmm, my answer would be pay the toll, and then fish at the rival right under the bridge and get my two fish that way.)
Nyaa : ((but yes, my first thought was zero actually))
CJ : That would work, but not in Troll logic. You don't think he likes water much judging by the troll smell
Nyaa : ((because cake is not fish))
CJ : 2-1+1 repeat for seven iterations = 2
CJ : Right says the troll, ready for my second riddle??/
Nyaa : oh look, elementry math
Calpurnia : "Oh then even better, if I win then you live by my will and die by my will, your being is mine. You will do all I say then. Do you understand the price possible King of the Mountains"
Calpurnia : ready
CJ : You are walking when you come to a cliff edge. You can see the other side about 30 metres away, and you see two identical bridges connecting the two edges. One of them is a safe bridge that will allow you to cross it, whereas the other bridge will crumble when you walk over it. Under the two bridges, there are two brother trolls. When asked a question, one of them will always lie and the...
CJ : ...other will always tell the truth. You are only allowed to ask one question, so what do you ask the trolls to find out which bridge to cross?
Nyaa : (oh god, this)
CJ : Yes, but this is the TROLL version.
Calpurnia : "NO!!!, I will fly across welp." (unfurl my wings)
CJ : (That is a hint!)
CJ : AGGGGHHHH!
Nyaa : ((haha my answer too))
CJ : Axel looks indignant. "That si cheating!"
Calpurnia : "No it is not, you simply weren't prepared"
CJ : OK then, "best of ten" he says!
CJ : H elooks smug.
Calpurnia : "So be it however, all bets made are enacted then and by starting this one you can never tell a riddle again. Understand"
Nyaa : (Calpurnia : , you just agreed to extend it to ten question.)
Calpurnia : "that is the price of starting these 10"
Calpurnia : say with cold face
Nyaa : (you horrible woman, banning a faerie from riddle))
Calpurnia : (hell yeah)
Nyaa : (Just like sending him to hell)
Nyaa : (faerie hell)
Calpurnia : (Well he did challenge the Princess of Ice did he not)
CJ : "I can't do that" says the Troll "it's my nature to ask riddles!"
Calpurnia : "Then continue these 10, or do what has been done and pay for the 5, your choice"
CJ : He looks mutinous, surly and rather wild. In fact a lot like Calpurnia
CJ : "Let us play for five!"
CJ : OK, digs a hole twelve trolls deep, and four trolls by three trolls on the sides. How much dirt is in the hole when I stop to eat my dinner?

Nyaa : (ha)
Calpurnia : (ha?)
Nyaa : (Kinda got it, but I can't spoil it I think?)
Nyaa : (You have to solve it yourself)
Calpurnia : "All of it as you right as you started you stopped for the time you started was at dinner"
CJ : Nope, wrong says the troll! I dug that far before I stopped. Second try?
Nyaa : ((better wisdom))
Calpurnia : "Ahh but you never said you didn't start at dinner"
CJ : Still not right
Calpurnia : (However true)
Calpurnia : (As he didn't say what time he started he could have started at dinner thus stopping, but here goes wisdom)
Calpurnia : !roll 1d10+1
TrollBotCalpurnia : :  4: 3+1
Nyaa : (Just need to glitch twice and I can write Calpurnia :  x troll fic))
Calpurnia : (CJ :  can I mentally strangle Makara from here, and can confidence do anything?)
CJ : Nah, too low, even with confidence
Nyaa : (So weak confident won't help)
Nyaa : (you need 9 for answer as usual)
CJ : However I will let Nyaa :  give oyu a hint
Calpurnia : (intution then)
CJ : OK you have the virtue?
Nyaa : (welp, my hint might be wrong though)
CJ : OK cool, as you have the virtue, he asked how much dirt i sin the hole. How much do you expect ther eto be in a hole?
Nyaa : (ha, so I was right)
Calpurnia : "None"
CJ : A hole is to dirt as cold is to heat
CJ : The troll gives an indignant snort
Calpurnia : (hehe I thought something was odd about that)
CJ : Shall I go prepare lunch then mistress? he says
Nyaa : (Well that was a quick change of attitude)
CJ : OK Calpurnia : , you have managed to enslave a fearsome troll
Nyaa : (6' fearsome troll)
Calpurnia : "Hmmm no, first tell me what you know of your "neighbors" and what you know and have at that. As now everything you own is also mine" same emotionless face
CJ : He did not sound very gracious. Trolls rarely do
CJ : Nope, 6" fearsome troll. He might bight your kneecaps
CJ : bite even
CJ : OK< we can handle that by email
Nyaa : (yes, I meant 6")
Calpurnia : (Yeah and do you remember the bandit thing?)
CJ : IT's 5am here and i need to be up to work shortly
CJ : Hope you enjoyed the riddles
Nyaa : hope you have sleep...
CJ : possibly
Calpurnia : Well then see you CJ  , I hate riddles with a passion and so all must be destroyed with solutions
CJ : if Hansine not wake me for food
CJ : I can't do them
CJ : Luckily Criamon can!
Nyaa : riddle destroyer
CJ : They were not real riddles, like
Calpurnia : The path of seeming I trolled that bridge one.
CJ : "It is greater than God and more evil than the devil. The poor have it, the rich need it and if you eat it you'll die. What is it?"
CJ : i like that one.
Nyaa : love
CJ : Close!
Calpurnia : Truth
CJ : Again not bad
CJ : The answer is nothing.
Calpurnia : oh yeah
Calpurnia : I remember that now (facepalm)
CJ : Nothing is greater than god, nothing more evil than the devil, the poor have nothing the rich need nothing and if you eat nothing you will die
CJ : TRolls don't ask fair riddles like thatthough
Nyaa : ugh... it was a fill in the blank kind
CJ : Yep.
CJ : Not the Troll Kind
