Pont Valentré |
It's a well-known fact that Trolls live under viaducts. No one really knows why (including Trolls). So when some Serpentmen found Lemuria the Green hiding beneath their fortified bridge, they didn't bother evicting him. Instead, they did a recruitment pass. After some careful negotiation and a longpork signing bonus, the snakes hired the immortal maneater to guard their river checkpoint.
Centuries later, Lemuria still dutifully mans his post. He really enjoys being a tollman. So much so that he wasn't bothered when his employers stopped paying him. Or that they're all dead.
How does the saying go? Find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life.
