Reminds me of a fun AD$D story. After the party vanquished the
trolls that attacked us my mage picked up a troll toe and put it in a
small steel box, and locked it tight. The plan was to figure out at
some later point (when he had gained a lot more power) a way to
enslave the troll that could be grown from the toe.
Well, the mage died before he could achieve that goal. And the
manner of his death was such that the rest of the team couldn't loot
his body (it's embarasing, I don't want to get into it). Anyway,
somewhere in my group's AD$D universe is a Troll-in-a-Box :)
