What's the bedsheet made of? If it's a mundane sheet then on the first
swing it's likely to rip, flinging three average sized human males
around hapharardly. Then you can calculate falling damage... :-)
For non-mundane sheets, base damage of STR + # of inhabitants M stun.
Another option is a specially reinforced combat bedsheet:
A) Plastic-reinforced (STR+Contents M stun)
B) Steel-reinforced (STR+Contents+2 M stun)
C) Embedded monofilament (STR+Contents S physical, STR+Contents M
physical to those in the sheet)
D) Bucky-sheets ;-) (STR+Contents+4 M stun)
On the other hand, if it's an enchanted bedsheet you've got to take a
look at some other factors.
1) Is the troll a physad, and has the bedsheet been enchanted as a
weapon focus? To what level? (as above, + affecting astral forms)
2) Have any spells to maintain integrity (barrier, armour) been
quickened to the bedsheet? What level? (add reinforcement level
to damage code or as a second attack doing (force)M stun)
3) Have any spells been anchored to the bedsheet? (Detect Liquid /
Fashion?) (apply spells as appropriate)
