What about a "positive" attack? "Gee, if we could do this <insert obscure quest concept>, Kyger Litor would like other people more, and not just as entrees! Then she'll recognize how great AA is, and take him as consort!" Etc.

Very difficult, IMO, and very likely to Completely Screw Up the troll race. For a flip and quick comparison, it seems akin to RW genetic manipulation to embrace a certain characteristic -- might work, but the side effects are *very scary*, and one would want to proceed *very carefully*.

Well, there's whatever foul perversion the Kitori managed. Yuck.

Eek.

Granted, I'm an uzophile, but the players are basically commiting themselves to a policy of if not genocide, then ethnic cleansing. There's some moral dilemmas that might be interesting: is it okay to kill the monsters' *children* and children that have yet to be born?

> But wasn't Korasting who was really hurt?
Weird troll metaphysics. Sometimes (IMO) Korasting and the other six Children are actually *part* of Kyger Litor, or represent part of her powers, are avatars of her powers, or are worshipped as her aspects. Vague, which is *good*, so that narrators can choose from it what they will. (There's probably a canonical answer; I like the vagueness more).

Cheers,

James
