Garbert's grandparents were driven from their village many years ago by three marauding trolls, and Garbert wants to learn what became of the villains.
'The trolls probably met their end somewhere within the Trollshaws. I do not know who might know the tale of their undoing, but if you can find someone who does, I would appreciate it.'1/1

'Bert, Tom, and Bill, you said? My goodness! Yes, yes, I know of them, and more than that; they invited me to dinner once! Well, I say \qinvited,\q but that's not quite true. You might say I invited myself, but hoping to pick a troll's purse is not as easy as you'd expect, and if caught in the act you might very well be cooked!
'I was there with the dwarves, you see, and when I didn't come back from my little bit of burglary, the dwarves came to see what had happened. Soon enough, the trolls had bagged them all, and a debate had begun concerning how best to cook us and eat us! Well, Gandalf turned up, as he does when most needed, and sure enough the trolls had spent so long bickering that they were quite turned to stone at sun-up! So that's what happened. I've written it all down in my book, but to have lived it is a much different experience than to read about it!
'If you want to visit old Bert, Tom, and Bill, you'll find them in the wilderness of the Trollshaws, off the road.'1/1

'Ah, so that is what happened to those old trolls. I am glad to have heard the story, Player, and thank you for the news! It is good to know that old Bert, Tom, and Bill came to an unhappy end after what they did to my grandparents' village.
'You have my thanks for the tale, and I will give you this as well!'1/1
