Moment’s later two hobbit men joined the four as Galither and Falmir moved along to let them into the opening on the table. Once sat down the hobbits introduced themselves as Kristin Hopper and Hamfast Gladbury. They were quick to inquire about the trolls.

Kristin said “so sirs where is it you met these trolls. I hope you didn’t see them near ere we are peaceful people here, don’t want no stinking trolls in these parts”

Galither replied “calm down mister we don’t be seeing no trolls around here. No we ran into the back at the misty mountains far from here”

Galither then revealed to the hobbits a tale of misadventure. They had come across these trolls as the crossed the mountain. The wagon was feeling heavy and this caused great fatigue in the men. So they stopped off at a low cave on the west side of the mountain. They slept for many the hour until they heard grunt not that of a human. Galither reached for his sword in a gentle yet swift manner, that’s until he realised what was ahead of him two large trolls rummaging through their wagon. Falmir being the hotheaded and irresponsible member of the party threw a knife at the troll causing it to yell with a scream no man should hear. It felt like the cave was rumbling as this great roar crashed like a wave on the granite. The trolls began to chase Falmir while the other three battled with this trolls. It had much agility and they found themselves darting all over the place until they brought it to its knees.

They compiled the contents of the wagon, which had been spread across the cave floor while the heard a screech running down the cave like chalk on a board. Falmir outran the troll due to his height. They pulled themselves together and caught a breath but hastily proceeded to the cave exit and on their way to the icebay.

The two hobbits sat with a bemused look and were rather impressed with the story but were more relieved to here it had not been set in the local area. Kristin offered to buy them all ale, which they kindly accepted.
They shared more accounts of their journey up to coming to the inn where the hobbits left them to go back to work. After feeling as though they had a well spent morning. All but Galither was happy after the story the others did not seem to take the conversation with hobbit kind very comfortably so they spent the rest of the morning silently contemplating the afternoon.
