Dagmar bares her canines, golden eyes glinting.

The cap doesn't make her BLINK

And he backs off "I didn't hurt the guy....much" True "I just thought he had a nice set up. I managed to get the drop on him before he could change"

"I would suggest getting far away from here, and quickly."

"Yeah, before Mogo can get free" he seems a bit spooked "Fine I'm gone...damn do gooder" And he flees

A trollish grunt.

"Let me free from my other bonds please. I want to teach that guy a lesson" mugo declares

Mugo looks puny, kind of a boggan sluagh hybrid, but he's clearly a chimera

An eyebrow. She does work on loosening his bonds.

Mugo rises, then swells taller than Dagmar ... then taller still... Suddenly the immense Giant that WAS Mugo snarls, seizes a cloud and pulls a lightning bolt from it... the redcap screams in pain as he gets fried... but Mugo stops after that "spread word, blood dunker. tell hyour corbies boat thieves are never shown mercy, TWICE"

Dagmar blinks.

She can feel a kinship with this dream... trolls were once like this, towering, and still are, deeper in the Dreaming, but she feels... like a little cousin rather than an equal sibling

Mugo looks down, "I am tempted to kill him, but there's a shortage of kithain in the autumn realm. even redcaps."

She nods. "Even redcaps, yes."

"Who are you and your little friend? Are you a Rover?"

She shakes her head. "Not rovers, though Olgar told us about you."

"Olgar? It was he who saved me. Now you do similar. " A grin 'i am a friend to such as he"

"I'm Dagmar Hammerstrike, and my friend is a sluagh, so I don't give his name out unless he's real explicit about it being okay. But I do vouch for him."

"I understand. The shadow folk can be treacherous but they are also often hunted, it is hard to say which came first, and if you befriend one, you have eyes and ears that tell much. Besides, he unmuffled me. so i cannot think the worst of him"

"He might choose to tell you his name." She shrugs. "I try to respect sluagh ways, but I don't think they find trolls very subtle. We are trying to get to Twin Ports, and we have dross to pay you for passage."

"Given the service you have done me..." He shrinks down 'i think we can skip the charge" the little guy (now little) smiles

"That's right decent of you."

"Well, you do have a tenderpaw, very rare. They don't work with truly evil folk"

Bilbo scurfs and snorts a nod

"So that's what he is? Cool."

"We're getting him home."
