NPC 12
Gertrude Cook, Troll, expert (Pathfinder CR 8 )
Gertrude is a troll with a vision. She wants to cook and eat every living creature. She is willing to pay for information about a certain creature or even join an adventuring party to get a leg, set of ribs, or even a wing . She can use her survival to track, and gather information or intimidate to get leads on new creatures.
If she gets involved in a fight for a new delicacy she will use her boots for few round to fight hasted and then retreat to regenerate, then back in again. If it looks as if she can’t win she will retreat and then attack again next day on full hits and full boot charges. She will not fight unless it’s for a new food, or maybe a good recipe, preferring to use the boots to run away, and eat another day.
