There is a small room with passages to the EAST and SOUTH and a forbidding hole leading WEST. Bloodstains and deep scratches (possibly made by an axe) mar the walls. A nasty-looking troll, brandishing a bloody axe, blocks all the passages out of the room. Your sword has begun to glow very brightly.

What do you do?>

        An elf pops out of the forbidden hole and says "And you have my bow"

            The troll is very confused. The elf is decapitated, his bow and quiver drop on the ground. A dark fog envelops the elf's body, when the fog lifts, the corpse is gone.

              Speaking to the troll: Fog demon pretending to be an elf. Saw them all the time while in the service

                In confusion and exasperation, the Troll throws down his axe and just walks off through the EAST passageway.

                  I take the axe and yell my logical explaination down the hall:

                  "My sword has been glowing ever since I got here and everything I kill with not turns into fog! The sword clearly detects fog monsters! You seem cool though! You might wanna keep your axe though! Fog monsters are no joke!"

                  I toss the axe westward and take a look at this hole.

                    The hole looks forbidding, the passageway meanders off and it is impossible to tell where it goes.

                      I'll chill by the hole and see if I hear back from the troll. I could use a hand against these fog monsters.

                        A seedy-looking individual with a large bag just wandered through the room. On the way through, he quietly abstracted some valuables from the room and from your possession, mumbling something about "Doing unto others before..."

                            The axe is no longer in the room and you realize that the painting is no longer in your inventory.

                                The painting you found two rooms previously. A painting of surpassing beauty, showing a pig with fecal matter on its gonads.

                                    No, it was in the underground gallery SOUTH of the Troll Room. The only painting not looted by past adventurers.

                                      Okay. I tell the weird guy that I don't mind him taking the painting but the troll might need that axe for whatever trolls need axes for, it's his axe anyway. I also ask him about this neat hole and if he knows the deal with it.

                                        He shouts back something about how it's his axe now and you clearly not understanding the premise of a thief. he continues muttering curses until out of earshot.

                                          Although I'm tempted to hang out in this room and see who else comes by, I totally understand the troll now btw, interesting dudes come by here. I figure it's time to see what down that hole. I do a comedic loony tunes style dive in.

                                                There is a room with a mirror on the SOUTH wall. There are exits WEST, NORTH and EAST.

                                                    It is 10 feet tall and takes up nearly the entire wall. You see yourself in the mirror and the rocky surroundings. You realize that you probably need a shower.
