(TFT) three cheers for Robert Jordan

["Cas Liber" <casliber@ozemail.com.au>]

The above is a tribute to Robert Jordan for his creations, the 2 nice
monsters below. May we all revel in plagiarism forever!

Trollocs
ST: 14-18         MA:10
DX: 9-11          Armour: 1 pt skin
IQ: 6-7
Trollocs are large, stupid humanoids about 2-2.5 m tall. They are
heterogeneous in appearance, resembling small ogres, large orcs or even
boar- , wolf- or hawk-headed humanoids. Though they are none too clever,
any given trolloc may have alertness, acute hearing or tracking (roll a d6,
with a 1,2 or 3 corresponding to the appropriate skill.). An IQ 7 trolloc
will have enough intelligence to use an appropriate weapon, usually a maul
or big sword, others relying on clubs. Their thick skin stops 1, or
occasionally 2, hits per attack, though they often augment this with cloth
or leather armour. Their origin is unclear but they have some strange link
with the dreaded Myrddraal - detailed below. Trollocs fighting with
Myrddraal fight in a more intelligent fashion but suffer as if struck by a
Dazzle gem if the Myrddraal is slain.

Myrddraal (Fade)
ST:   13          MA: 12
DX:  16           Armour: 3 pt skin
IQ:  15
These horrid creatures resemble pale grey-skinned humanoids with eyeless
sockets and dark capes. Their lack of eyes doesn't hinder them, they have
the following natural abilities in fact: alertness, eyes-behind, tactics
and can cast a 4-hex shadow as their strength allows. Their weapons are
often envenomed, which makes them dangerous opponents indeed. Their origins
are unknown, but they may be hired for a (high) price.
Myrddraal are often found with trollocs as cannon-fodder/guards/servants,
the latter being fearful of the hateful Fades and obeying their every
command.
