Cursed Troll (5e Class)

## **The Cursed Troll**

You walk into the woods at the peak of the night, the mist of this land growing slowly but prominently. Suddenly, the mist turns to ice and your breath becomes visible and a wall of ice surrounds you. A loud thumping of what sounds like footsteps get closer and closer. Nowhere to go... Nowhere to run. Thrusting out of the darkness, a large frost troll emerges from the night decimating the party, but not killing them. This monster happens to be your new allied companion, who mistook you for his enemies.
