Nero used pitch, which is a form of tar. And that couldn't have smelled all that great either. :-P
Yeah... I was speaking in modern terms (talking
about lighting the castle so I wouldn't get lost).

Hmmm..
Pitch = Tar
Tar = Asphalt
Asphalt = Paving
Paving = Crushed trolls.
I think we just came up with the troll punishment version of "Rock - Paper - Scissors".
