 
 _setting_name The Troll's Lair, Cave 
 _setting_desc Covered with rotting meat from nearby wildlife, the Troll's lair reeks of death.  If the stench alone wasn't enough to scare off an unfortunate travelers who stumbled upon it, the bones of unlucky spelunkers would be.  The Troll places his spoils near the numerous stalagmites on the damp cave wall, his red eyes patiently scanning the dark cave interior for anything that may disturb his isolation.

 _self_persona I was captured in the most recent battle.  I am lucky to still be alive.  I have to escape soon.

 _object_desc a bone : The bones are old and crumbling, showing a storied past. 
 _object_desc a rotting meat : The meat is rotting and it smells badly almost to the point of nausea. 
 _partner_say Mmm, the bones have such flavor! 
 _partner_act get rotting meat 
 _self_emote smile 
 _self_say Look's like you are getting a meal. What if I told you that there is endless meat, out there? If you help me escape I'll take you with me and there will be meals for the rest of your days.  
 _partner_say Hmm? You know of such a place? Greater than this one? 
 _partner_act eat rotting meat 
 _self_emote wave 
 _self_say Out there! There is a whole world. But it can be very dangerous for a rat. Let me be your guide. I just need your help to get free.  
 _partner_say Ok, hmm... How can I help you then? 
 _partner_emote ponder 
 _self_say I'll need you to distract the troll. Perhaps you can jump out and scare him, or bite his ankle. I just need two minutes to sneak by him and be out the of the lair.
