>GIVE TROLL TO TROLL

The troll, who is not overly proud, graciously accepts the gift and not having the most discriminating tastes, gleefully eats it.

>>DonHop+05
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

Having the troll eat itself wouldn't remove the light source. The troll didn't have a light to begin with, it can see in the dark.

>>sfj+iG
What's wonderful about this bug is that giving the troll to itself to eat gets rid of the troll, but doesn't clear the TROLL-FLAG. ;( So then when you try to exit the room to the NORTH, EAST or SOUTH, you get TCHOMPed, and the non-existent troll fends you off with a menacing gesture! ;) So you are truly fucked, and can't finish the game.

>EAST

The troll fends you off with a menacing gesture.

    #ROOM {"MTROL"

    "You are in a small room with passages off in all directions. 
    Bloodstains and deep scratches (perhaps made by an axe) mar the
    walls."
