What do you do?

Offer to pay.

You dig out your bag of gold and prepare to hand her 1 gold, the toll as marked on the sign. She shakes her head and looks at you with rage in her eyes.

"You're kidding right? You think a single coin is going to make up for all of this?"

Seeing that you aren't going to get off the hook that easily, you sigh and ask how much its going to cost you.

"Well, for starters, you broke the damn bridge. Wood aint cheap, especially when you're a troll and you can't go into a town without someone trying to burn you or kill you for your tusks."

She looks over at the remains of the bridge and then looks back at you.

"And then there's the emotional damage too. Imagine you're minding your own business, trying to enjoy a nice breakfast when some jerk falls through your roof and causes you to spill your coffee all over your nice clean clothes, which you JUST GOT, by the way."

She's getting more and more agitated, and you want to just get this over with, so you cut her short and ask how much she wants.

"All of your gold," she says coolly.

You nearly fall over in shock. You've got more than a thousand gold coins on you! The cost of rebuilding this couldn't be more than 30 gold at the most. You start to argue that this is highway robbery when she cuts you short.

"All of your gold, plus those nice boots you got on," she says, in a deadly serious tone.

You sigh again.

What are you going to do?
