Upon reaching the group of trolls, Aalmon surveys the environment. There
is approximately a dozen buildings in view, mostly set flush into a rise
suggesting further tunnels within. There is a penned section holding a
number of ham beetles and some flying giant insects that have been
tethered to the ground. Near the insect pens is a well.

Fields are being worked by a half-dozen dark trolls in yokes with an equal
number of trollkin engaging in lighter work. At the edge of the fields is
wooden pram. Most remarkably, one trollkin wearing a hooded clock, not
unlike the western priests, seems to be dictating to the trolls.

When you ask for a Blue Moon initiate it is this trollkin that approaches
you cocking its head to one side, and smiling beatifically.

"Seek Annilla-child, do you?", it says with unfamiliar accent. "Far from
home, in land poison to you? And with tree-woman? Why you want?"
