Hello Again!
This has been a day for things that are bugging me. Spiders, orcs, and now: Troll hoards.
Chests and treasure piles lying randomly in caves are NOT Troll Hoards!!! So here is a little alternative I have cooked up. Let me show it to you in picture form.
Observe this lovely mountain. Anything strike you as odd? No? en lt's get a little closer...
See it yet? A stone door. A troll door. This new door will only open at night. Let's go inside shall we?
Behold the insides of our lovely troll hoard! Lots of shiny things on the floor, chests at the back, waste blocks, (trolls are not good house keepers!) and a banner in the middle of the room preventing nosy parkers from simply walking in and taking anything you please. So of course, the first thing to do is break the banner.
Uh-oh! What is this? Seem's someone's been caught with their hand in the cookie jar! If you break a troll hoard's banner, beware the trolls!
So in more detail, troll hoard's will be structures that spawn in the troll shaws, ettenmoors, and Angmar. They will no longer be simply chests and treasure piles littering the insides of caves. They will be proper troll "houses/caves" with a door. The door will only open at night. What? Trolls don't go out during the day!
Inside of the cave, there will be a ton of gold, silver, and copper treasure piles, with waste blocks and treasure chests thrown in for good measure. In the middle-ish of the cave will be a silver block for protection. Break the banner to loot all the treasure! But be warned! Breaking the banner has the chance to spawn in 1-3 trolls.
The pictures are for display purposes only. They are not the final product.
Tada! I hope this is as liked by you as it is by me! :D
