Tollstone Ogre

Teen 13+
Tollstone ogres are what happens when an ogre takes up the toll-gate trade. Squat, granite-grey and rust-mottled, they sit at ravine mouths like boulders and are not noticed until they hold out a hand. They are proud, stubborn and fussy about rules, and they let anyone pass for a fair price.

They keep their word, they hate being cheated, and they like salt, iron and good bargains. They are far more helpful than they appear to a nervous traveller, and far less flexible than they appear to a hopeful one. Treat a Tollstone with respect and it will see you safely through its gap. Treat it as an obstacle and you have misjudged which of you is the obstacle.
