The Duke Demands a Trifle Pewter Bed in his Dining Room.

Oh yeah? Can he beat a troll in a fight? Bare handed? Two trolls? Two trolls and 8 goblins?

It seems like your duke would like to skip dinner completely and just cut to the chase. He knows that troll wants him bad.

If he can, and against all odds a mood spits out a trifle pewter bed... will you give it to him?

It's a demand, not a mandate, so you can just ignore it at the price of one (two?) unhappy thought(s). It's not like he will make your smith's suffer for their crimes or anything like that.

Even if it was a mandate, which is thankfully no longer possible, a prison is not that hard to set up. Even ropes will do fine, and you can place it in the middle of a food supply to avoid starvation.

It was a weird fight. The duke didn't have any weapons, because apparently he didn't want to be in the army. The first arena had some weapon traps in it. The duke's tactics of running away actually worked, the weapon traps minced up the trolls and goblins. One kobold thief must have opened the doors, so the duke got out.

The miners started work quickly to dig out another arena, which wouldn't have weapon traps. Eventually the work was done. The duke was in the new arena, with some troll cages. Somebody pulled the levers and the trolls came out of their cages. The duke ran away.

The trolls went straight for the door and started trying to smash it down. Lucky the new arena had 5 doors in a row. Eventually the duke got thirsty and decided to attack the trolls. They bashed him real bad. Now to find out why his corpse didn't get buried.
