But why would the trolls bother using a battering ram? Bergioyn Send a noteboard - 26/09/2013 08:12:34 PM

View original post
Where is the Watch when you need them...
what do we have?

the victim was a dwarf (foreigner)
branded with a hippo (which is an important symbol of Ankh Morpork)
a building is smashed, supposedly with a battering ram. A ram doesn't seem a very morbporkian weapon, but that isn't a very valuable observation. I would associate it with barbarians or maybe trolls. However it also could be the Watch catching a thief, especially if Nobbs was on the premises...



They could have just smashed the building fell down. Considering Ankh-Morporkian masonry, it wouldn't even have taken them much effort.

Maybe it's more accurate to say that they aren't uncommon. *NM* Bergioyn - 29/09/2013 07:56:17 AM 657 Views

I did aswell. Bergioyn - 30/09/2013 09:09:32 PM 1166 Views
nope *NM* Yunalesca - 30/09/2013 11:14:57 PM 892 Views
I did, and as above. Fanatic-Templar - 01/10/2013 02:42:45 AM 1111 Views
EBWOP: The victim, that is. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 01/10/2013 02:43:17 AM 782 Views
I can confirm that. ranagrande - 01/10/2013 04:00:22 AM 1082 Views
Well, that basically settles my speculation then - We're up against the Hippo League *NM* Artsapat - 01/10/2013 02:33:41 PM 771 Views
Except the pamphlet was on the victim. Fanatic-Templar - 01/10/2013 06:46:18 PM 1106 Views
Or it could have been a calling card? *NM* Bergioyn - 01/10/2013 06:48:30 PM 695 Views
Huh. That's a good point. Artsapat - 01/10/2013 07:20:17 PM 1104 Views
