# Griselda and the Big Troll
(Griselda Gets Hers)

Apologies to Oliver Dickinson for using the Griselda name without permission, but she is a written-up NPC in RuneQuest so she should be fair game.

I have to say that I have always hated the Griselda stories, not for their style (which is good), their plots (which are generally excellent) or for any rational reason except for the fact that she always uses cunning to defeat her foes. Sometimes she enages in combat and is always treated as "deadly" or "dangerous". If she ever met anyone from the campaigns she would last under a round of combat. This has always bugged the hell out of me, so I decided to write up what I think would happen if Griselda met someone truly dangerous, in this case Derak the Dark Troll.[1]

The story has not yet been written, but exists within my head. All I need to do is to put it down. This may take a while as I have a few other things to do. Bear with me.

## Footnotes:

[1]This is purely made up - Derak actually chickened out at the end, preferring to find a magical item which was an Eel Clan heirloom lost to Chaos and return it to Jar-Eel. Boo, hiss. He should have stuffed Griselda like he said he was going to. Bah, Humbug
