Description
The scavenger troll closely resembles its cousin, the wood troll in appearance and ugliness. Hulking and heavily muscled with rough bark-like skin, it stares down at you with scrutinizing eyes as if wondering whether you have anything worthwhile. Bits of tattered cloth and leather cling to its grotesque form in a haphazard parody of clothing, souvenirs scavenged from the bodies of many a luckless adventurer.
In Depth
Area Information
- The hunting area is labeled: A dangling wooden sign reads: "DanJuR: SkAVjnUr TRulLz"
- The Gorbesh Fortress interior (Mess Hall, Meeting Room, Officers' Quarters, Barracks, Storage, and Stable) environments prevent Anther's Call from working (The wood underfoot creaks slightly, but nothing else happens.) on the scavenger trolls found there. The spell functions normally in the exterior (Firepit, Practice Yard) environments.
Skill Caps
- Weapons: skills at 158 rarely miss (05/31/2017). Learning slows significantly at 200 and soft caps (1/34) at 220.
- Defenses: skills at 200 mindlock and allow for safe fighting when engaged with four in melee (05/31/2017). Learning slows significantly by 220. Only after about 30 minutes of melee engagement with four high-attribute (see below) trolls will skills at 230 mindlock and skills at 240 get to about (17/34) learning rate (10/23/2020).
- Skinning: Consistent perfect parts and quick locking with ARRANGE ALL at 285 (05/31/2017).
Special Attacks
Scavenger trolls have the ability to steal a player's weapons. This can supposedly be avoided with enough brawling skill. They can be reclaimed if the troll is killed before it degenerates. The Scavenger troll will also take things off of your corpse and in your grave. If you don't come back fast enough to kill it, the creature will despawn and what is stolen will be lost forever.
- The scavenger troll exclaims, "Gimmie dat engraved scimitar!"
- The scavenger troll stretches its arms towards Argowall. It grabs his scimitar and wrenches it from his hand.
