A troll appearing in the Errant Road free-form on-line role-playing game, portrayed by Graybeard. He does not, and will not, appear in the main story, or in anything else set in the "canon" (Poe-verse). His basic concept appears in this thread in the Forum.

Backstory

Grope was one of the elders of his tribe in the troll homelands, wherever those are, and became friends with the human Lucas Ravanel when the two took turns saving each other's lives. When population pressures in the troll lands grew to the point of causing trouble for the tribe, he and his mate Zhbrigeeul, a powerful troll shaman/priestess, left the tribe to go exploring, in search of a place where the whole bunch might move to and settle down. Rumor had it that the islands of Tsuiraku (not the floating city, just the landmass) were sparsely populated and might offer some places for a small band of trolls to settle, out of harm's way. Grope and Zhbrigeeul therefore trotted off to Tsuiraku, having some adventures on the way that solidified their friendship with Lucas Ravanel (and also left the mysterious Mr. Stagpoole eternally in their debt).

On arrival, however, they discovered that they'd landed not on a wilderness shore, but close to the substantial city of Kiyoka. This wasn't at all what they had in mind: the idea of this exploration was to avoid places full of humans, not settle right in the middle of them. For undisclosed reasons, they went their separate ways on landing (uncomfortably for both, as trolls hunt in pairs, mate for life, and are deadly serious about it), planning to conduct their explorations independently and get back together as soon as one of them found something suitable for the tribe to move to ... and that, about three years back, was the last time Grope ever saw Zhbrigeeul, who seemed to simply disappear.
