A pair of boss trolls are faced at the end of the optional [[Troll Maze]] dungeon, preparing to cook the chancellor of [[Argonia]], his wife, and their maid. The party will interrupt them in the middle of their preparations and face them in battle. These boss trolls have nearly double the amount of HP as those faced in regular encounters, though it should not be a difficult encounter.
