"Well done, all," Cal says once everyone is tended to and the blood is gathered. "We've defeated a great threat to the barony. You should all be proud. Now we have to return and warn that trolls may continue to be a threat to the lands. And we may give some consideration to getting an alchemist in Stagfall to start making alchemist's fire."

Troll Lair: Watchtower: Victory
Daladek produces a mostly empty wine skin, so giving the rest to Aetoron to dull the pain, he then hands it over for the blood collection from the troll. He spends a bit and relocates the elf's shoulders, one by one, causing yelps of pain from the Spymaster each time, but he feels much better after. Still, he's wounded, and a few Channel's later the group is on the mend once more.

"Let's gather what we can and head home," Cal says. "The sooner we report what's happened to the Marshal, the better."

Gazran 5th: Tatzlford
The group collects what they can, but all the supplies and collected loot from the trolls is going to require you send a salvage party down this way to collect it. You have two dead you need to deal with before leaving the area, Vanya, and Fang. Both are brought outside and you being your funeral preparations. Digging graves isn't easy or quick, but neither is finding stones for cairns, so either way you spend the rest of the day outside the ruins properly burying the pair in side by side graves some distance from the ancient dwarf fort. By the time you are done, you are exhausted, its been a very long day. So you set camp up, deciding not to stay in the troll corpse infested ruins for now. Perhaps eventually this will make a fine outpost for Caledonia, but it will need some serious airing out first.
So you spend the night in your tents, sorting out loot, and going over your tactics, and hoping you can learn from this experience in more than one way. The spring morning is bright and sunny, and you inhale the fresh scent of flowers in bloom with a smile and set off. Its four days to Tatzlford through the forests of the western reaches. You are please to arrive to find the small village bustling with activity and life. You are also happy to find a place to take a proper bath, get a hot meal, and a cold beer at The Hawk and Quail Inn, the only place of note for travelers in Tatzlford currently.
On your arrival Loy Rezbin and his wife Latricia welcome you with open arms and a bit of pomp. It isn't a half an hour after your arrival that a familiar face appears at the inn. It's Lem Lillywag, your former Green Marshal. Lem moved here last month in Pharast resigning his post as Green Marshal. His letters claimed his heart found what it was always seeking, and hinted at a wedding this spring!
You are settling in at the inn when Lem arrives, "Well look what the hounds dragged in! If it isn't Baron Calanthir!" He puts his arms on his hips and smiles with a toothy grin.

Ylyndar moves forward to shake the hand of his predecessor. He formally bows his head, "It is a pleasure to see you again."

Daladek was quiet on the journey to the human settlement; having set out to rediscover a once robust dwarven outpost he found only despoiled ruins and watched several experienced dwarf warriors die at the hands of filthy trolls.
He does however, offer his services as a cleric of Torag to the Baron and his lands.

"Sir Lem," Cal says, offering his hand. "Good to see you doing so well. I'm sorry to have lost you, but our loss is clearly Tatzlford's gain. Best wishes to you and your soon-to-be bride."
"I'm afraid we come with some dangerous warnings, however," he adds after a moment. "Trolls invading to the south. We stopped a burgeoning outpost of them four day's travel south of here. Hopefully we've nipped this problem in the bud. But you never can tell. I'd keep your scouts alert to trouble from the south. And if you do fid more trolls, feel free to ask for help at Stagfall. These sorts of dangers threaten us both."

Aetoron stands with the others, greets Lem and listens to Cal's message. He was always cordial to Lem, but unfortunately his strongest memories of the former Green Marshal are that of distrust in joining the council and taking one of his well placed arrows to the back.
Number Two: "You are number six."
Number Six: "I am not a number, I am a free man!"
Number Two: "Muh ha ha ha ha!"

Lem bows back to Ylyndar, "No need to bow, you are the Green Marshal of Caledonia after all. I'm just the Chief Ranger of Tatzlford these days! Its not as glorious maybe, but its no less dangerous. Still out patrolling the wilds then?" He turns from Marshal to Baron and listens. "I've heard the troll rumors, so far we haven't seen any in the area, but travelers have mentioned it. I'll be sure to pass along any information we find. There are a handful of us Rangers in Tatzlford, not as many as in Stagfall, but we have some."
He nods to Aetoron, and then shakes hands with Garuk and Daladek, "Still picking up strays I see Cal. Pleased to meet you both, name's Lem, used to be the Green Marshal in Caledonia, one of the founding members of your little Barony."
He turns back to Cal, "You'll have to meet her Cal, she's a wonderful woman, beautiful, strong, smart, and man can she cook. Might even put Svetlana to the test! We've had to postpone the wedding a few months, but you can bet you'll be getting an invitation, some time in next month. Was going to ask you about that, was hoping we could do it at the Temple of Erastil, and have Valen preform the nuptials. I have a letter of to him, but asking the boss man never hurts."
