Dragon: This is a well known species in our lands. Dragons once were very shy and there didn't exist many of them. And there's the paradox thing about it: Because they were hunted more and more, and more and more of them got killed, the dragons population increased! It's a very mysterious thing, that a species's population increases the more they are killed, but it's what happend with dragons...
So the conclusion is obvious, that many monsters want human population to increase and therefore try to kill as many of them as possible!
Rope: A rope is a long thing in most cases. It is useful to climb up holes and to pull up heavy objects, such as dragons, empty potions or spiders. Sometimes, in special cases, it is used to pull up demons or giant spiders. A rope consists of many rat-tails tied together. Such a thing should not be missing in an adventurer's backpack!
It is not known, how it works in some cases - for example, no one found out until now, why one has to put a rope on the floor in order to climb UP a hole. Especially it is strange, that this rope does not get lost, but is found in the backpack of the adventurer again...
Troll: Trolls are some kind of strange monsters. They run around without having a target, telling stories no one can understand because of their unclear pronunciation (which results from the fact, that trolls do not have teeth at all). Trolls can easily be identified by their appearance: red skin, not too big, mostly in groups, often carrying a spear and a wooden shield to fight (of course, they do not know how to use these things properly...). Some Trolls (they are supposed to be the leaders of troll-groups) carry ropes and money with them - reasons are not known, but it is believed that they use ropes to climb down wells, what does surely not explain why trolls need money...
