A Day in the Life ~ A Story Collection Sir
Russ suggested that we write out how we spend a typical day at The Inn of the
Burping Troll, with typical defined as a day without being attacked by anything
larger than a mosquito. The suggestion was met with dropped jaws and outright

the Troll. After much discussion, we determined that they did exist, though fewer
and farther between than Sir Russ thought good for the general well being of the
residents. New story added June 2004 |
