Two dwarves and an elf walk into the Prancing Pony and find an empty table.
"Finally we get get a real drink not just the sissy elf wine you kept at your camp," Heithur Ironfist says.
"You are simply too simple a man for the most delecate of things," Barachen says.
"It's not that we don't appreciate the taste," Toki Whitebeard says. "We just like something with a little more kick."
"And drank in much higher qantities," Heithur says.
"I am not sure any vineyard produces enough wine to please a dwarf," Barachen says. "Are you recovering well?"
"I'm certainly feeling better," Toki says. "I just can't believe I let the trolls get the better of me."
"There were a great many of them. It is a problem within the forest that continues dispite our attempts to drive them out."
"Our battles against the trolls have been made more difficult with the renewed rise of the Dark Lord."
"The dwarves don't mind helping to fight against the trolls," Heithur says. "If the beasts are going to try to steal our history the least we can do is drive them away."
"I would be happy for the help," Barachen says.
"We've never liked trolls and if they're going to be attacking my people we should help to kill them."
"We may want to clear out the cave claws in the ruins north of the last bridge," Toki says.
"They don't often cause us trouble," Barachen says.
"They aren't aggressive, but they aer destroying the ruins and could be crushing relics of your people."
"I hadn't thought of that."
"We have to drive them out of our ruins and mines all the time."
"We've started to train them but that only really works in the mines," Heithur says. "They need to be able to dig and burrow."
"My people can't provide enough places to dig for any we might try to tame," Banachen says.
"Might be best to just drive them away from the ruins."
"I think the trolls camping near the road is a bigger threat," Toki says. "That may just be because they attacked me."
"It is also a problem that would take us much longer to deal with than a few cave claws," Banachen says.
"It would also be difficult to keep the cave claws from moving back in if we are fighting trolls," Heithur says.
"I will continue to hold my camp and send any travelers that look like they can fight to the trolls. The soldiers of Rivendell are busy with other battles. Until they are free to help all we can do is hold the trolls at bay."
