"West, into the Forest of Adventuresome Adventuring! And Squirrels!"
----------
After much deliberation, followed by a quick round of "Eenie Meanie Miney Moe," the Forest is your choice. The sign reads "The Forest of Adventuresome Adventuring," but looking more closely you see the words "And Squirrels" carved into the wood in short gashes beneath the original legend.
Deciding there's no better time than now to get it over with, you walk determinedly down the path and soon find yourself surrounded by trees that gradually grow thicker around you. Within minutes the boughs above your head are so thick they block out almost the entire sky, and you are glad you thought to bring the lantern as you begin to hear chittering spreading through the trees.
The chittering grows louder as you hear a crashing sound coming through the forest. With a horrendous cacophony of bangs, grunts, and howls, a large grey creature with a deformed face leaps out of the trees and into your path, squirrels tumbling down with him.
"Me hungry!" The creature bellows, glaring at you with wicked green eyes. "Smell food, want food!" The squirrels around him jump about and chatter, almost as though they share his voice.
You freeze in place, stunned by the appearance of what could only be a troll staring you down.
What do you do?
---Bean him in the head with the bag of coins
---Flee in terror, back from whence ye came
---Carefully reach into your bag and offer him the sandwich

This is officially the last safe page, folks. That's not to say that every page after this is going to have a choice that will result in the demise of your character, but it will be possible on occasion or if a specific set of no more than two or three actions are taken in a row. Will I let it be known what choices will lead to death? Absolutely not!

"Will a sarnie do?"
You're completely surrounded by squirrels. I don't think they'd allow you to run back whence you came very easily.
Bash him with the bag of coins? Oh, come on! The squirrels appear to be on his side - do you really think they'd let you go easily if you knocked him out?
Therefore, your only sensible choice is hope that he likes eating sandwiches, otherwise you're a bit b*gg*r*d.
There are 10 kinds of people in the world - those who understand binary and those who don't...
As the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, then only left-handers are in their right mind!
offer him the sandwich
The way to a man's heart is thru his stomach. Man, troll, not much difference :-)

Bribe him.
A nice gift will usuualy pacify the most intellectually challenged, especially if it's food.
GIVE HIM A SARNY!

Offer him the sandwich of course.
Thanks and kudos.

To me, "Flee in terror, back from whence ye came" ...
sort of implies that he gets there. So "flee" is my choice.
PS - I think he would have eaten the sandwich by that time anyway.
BE a lady!
Flee and then Go East

Flee from whence you came, and then go East as you should have done in the first place.
Or call for the Ents to help, you have to be smarter Merry.

.....give him the sarnie, don't think hitting a troll is a wise idea unless u use fire or acid and running away will make him chase u and he knows the forest.

If he's lucky it's a peautbutter sandwich
If not, he's about to loose his nuts, um her nuts.
But if he can do a solid Bulwinkle Moose impersonation ...

Voting is closed... NOW!
And who'da thunk it, the sandwich wins by a landslide!
So waddaya say, want me to ham it up in the next chapter? I guess it's a good idea he didn't flee, the troll might have been able to ketchup. And I doubt the squirrels would have lettuce, anyhow.
Alright, I'm done.
