Remnants of Stone are particularly hard to find - any rock, statue or
gargoyle could be a soul-killed Trog. Still, no one is terribly surprised
that Baal was able to find one. What does surprise people is that he was
able to find a silicon based life form.
What they should remember is that before the Fall, Heaven was very open and
candid about what was going on. So the fact that an alien planet had a form
of pond scum which was silicon based was open knowledge - although not many
angels cared. And, of course, using the Celestial Song of Fruition on the
scum & a Remnant of Stone....
Forget that. What they should remember is that if there is a Troll in town,
it's time to leave fast.
Trolls - big, tough, slow, stupid. Trolls cannot have Ethereal Forces, and
their Agility cannot exceed their Corporeal Forces; they have a maximum
strength of 12. Their bodies function as stone Vessels, and can have up to 6
levels of Toughness. Trolls cannot be Enchanters, Alchemists, Necromancers,
Dream Soldiers or Sorcerers (due to their lack of Ethereal Forces), but can
be Soldiers; the Blessed advantage is very common among them, possibly
because of their Celestial heritage. They do not need to breathe, but react
badly to sunlight; every Troll has Vulnerability(Sunlight) at a level equal
to their Celestial Forces [they get character points for this] and becomes
immobile when in direct sunlight (or other strong UV light). A starting
Troll may buy up to 3 points of Intelligence and/or Precision at 3 points a
level. A Troll must eat at least (Total Forces) kilograms of organic
material containing metal (blood, meat, bone etc) every day or it begins to
starve - they gain no nourishment from non-metallic compounds, even if
silicon based. They are otherwise treated as human.
Trolls are Baal's favourite shock troops, and he treats them much better
than he does his other Hellsworn. Their ability to drive other broken races
into battle and to go toe to toe with angels means that they fill an NCO
niche between Demonic Officers and mortal grunts. A troll who has killed an
angels' vessel will often be rewarded with a Servitor Attunement, and Baal
doesn't mind if a Troll learns Songs; they lack the intelligence to rebel or
question orders. Trolls do have dreamscapes, and can learn the Lucid
dreaming skill; rarely, Trolls have become Dreamshades.
Still, a Troll is not born damned, and will occasionally fulfil it's
Destiny. These Trolls tend to find Heaven uninteresting and travel up
Jacob's Ladder soon after arriving.
