Search for a graveyard. Dark Rites for more skeletal minions.

There is no graveyard, simply an abandoned derelict town. There are no bodies of any kind, and all food is gone.

There is not much loot, a few pieces of gold, a few quatloonies. The town has been picked clean.

You hole up in what you believe was once a tavern for the night.

The sword reminds you of what you learned back at the castle
The trolls of the Caves of Carado have been ravaging the land around them, just a month previously they exterminated a town of over a thousand people.
He suggests that this must be the town that was destroyed. Perhaps you should start tracking the trolls here.

Search for tracks and any indications where the trolls may have gone.

You see areas of destroyed foliage, leading towards mountains in the southeast.

Summon several 1Kt nukes to explode in the mountains to draw out the Trolls.

You receive several Dial-a-yield nukes from the US nuclear arsenal, as well as the arming system for them.

You are asked for the nuclear arming codes.

You have no way of delivering them.

Ask the sword to summon several hundred tons of something pungent that the trolls like to eat and redirect the wind to blow the smell towards the trolls. Ready my flamethrower.

Also mixed with the food are high grade explosives. Get the Trolls to eat it and then when they burp, they blow up? :)

Your strategy lures out the trolls. Thousands of troll workers are killed, but the warriors and royals stayed inside the caves.

How many survived? Are they all males? If they are then summon highly concentrated female Troll pheromones at the entrance of the cave and summon a slight breeze so they can smell it. Once they exit the caves then lob nerve agents at them. :)

Before doing that perform dark rites and raise a bunch of troll skeletons, place canisters of VX gas in their hands, then march them off to the troll caves with orders to open the canisters once they arrive.

I agree. Do that, plus have female troll pheromones sprayed on the skeletons. :)

Your hordes of skeletal troll workers enter the hive and release the VX.

The hive is killed.

You don't find any cats. But you do notice movement.

You find that there is a river running through half of the hive, and the waterfall made the movement, you think.

Ask first WHORES if he knows how to swim. Use Sword of Logic to summon some boats to investigate river.

WHORES does indeed know how to swim.

You follow the river upstream, and reach a cavern that the VX did not reach.
