It’s not that the trolls aren’t scary… or are they? Did Tolkien mean for them to be frightening? In this episode we get into how the trolls find a balance, of sorts, between, fear and goofiness–and maybe it all starts with their accents (Michael breaks down exactly where their accent is from too!).

We discuss:
* The Hobbits and The King
* Troll Accents
* The Brave Burglar
* The Incompetent Dwarves
* The Incompetent Wizard

In our extended episode (available for our members [https://theonering.com/members]) we talk about:

* Dwarven Law and Bilbo’s Contract
* What would Dwarf jelly actually taste like… and what if it’s seasoned with Hobbit?
* Would the key have also turned to stone if they never dropped it?
