In other words, it's really not that difficult. Just go to the appropriate web translator.

Morse Code and Phonetic Alphabets

Binary - it's digitalicious

Me, I am far to lazy to actually translate the mose and binary chat being carried on. Have fun.

QUOTE (FlakJacket)
how sensitive are a Troll's horns? Would they have nerves in them?


It depends if the horns have thin sheaths (like deer), a bony core (like bulls), or a simply a fiber mass (like rhinos.) If they grow like a rhino's horn then they would have no nerves and wouldn't hurt if they break (no nerves).

QUOTE (FlakJacket)
Would it eventually regrow?


I think that's up to the GM. A Rhino's horn continues to grow though out it's life, although the older the animal gets the slower the growth. Thing is, I remember reading something about Goblinization resulting in a massive calcification of people's bones resulting in 'bone' spurs along elbows and knees as well as horns. I assumed this was similar to a type of Scleroderma called Calcinosis (Calcium deposits that leak out of the skin at joints and can eventually harden.) The point is that if these calcium deposits continue this growth in later generations then yes, I would say they would grow back with speed depending on the age of the Troll and possibly hormone treatment. Problem is Calcinosis isn't the greatest thing to have, and Trolls would be in constant joint pain all their lives getting worse as they get older.

Sounds about right to me. Though it could be a mix of calcium deposits at joint areas and keratin horns on the head. (If you notice the horns on the head are different from the ones on the body) That's just my two cents though.
