"Well truth be told I was born an ogre, well part ogre at any rate, mah was a hill giant. You don't really get to be a proper troll unless you drink some Ichor. Not too much, but enough to get the fast healing and stuff. It's always a mixed bag, but ever since the fuckening me and my ilk have used the Ichor to gain more power and wealth. Seems like all the oger chieftains are trolls these days. The tricky part is finding the raw Ichor without getting fucked to death by a demon."
"Are you kidding? My horns have never looked so good! and the extra eye thing is kinda neat,"
She said brushing a lock of hair aside to reveal her extra optic endowment and look around at stuff with it.

"Right..." The druid could barely believe there were people purposefully taking corruption within themselves like that. "You do know that ichor also warp your mind, right? That stuff could drive you insane just as easily as it gives you... erm... cool extra eyes."
"I agree with Kaelys... it might sound neat, but I kinda like people being... sane and... friendly. Though I won't tell you what to do like some domineering parent..." She adds. "Just offering my perspective, that's all. But you seem nice enough, Tilde... though you'd best know I did give you a big load in the babymaker." She grins, like a naughty child.
"Yeah, they're already in a bad spot, so could you please be good? We're trying to help them find a new place to settle down, and all this stuff with the gnolls plays into that." She says, walking around the clearing before walking up to Tori and, leaning close, she adds "Also, Tori, can we speak privately for a few minutes?"
"Hmm," Agatha said to himself as an off chance idea came to mind. He wondered if Tilde had any extensive knowledge of other cave systems given the fact that she lived in one. "Tilde," he said looking up at the troll "do you know just how extensive your cave was? On that matter, do you know of any cave systems with in a week's journey from our location that might house an entire village?" Agatha had to say he rather liked the thought of a cave village. The inhabitants would've been shielded from many a dangers and he could only imagine the ingenious housing structures one might create in a cave to fit many.
She sighs. "It's about Sophie... after that last expedition, I've come to the conclusion that I cannot train her. She's just not tough enough to handle the stuff expected of a fighter. And... I'm not sure she's really ready for anything. The two boys did well, but she's just lacks their tenacity and willpower. She can't force march, she's not strong enough to fight with neither sword and board, nor a two-handed weapon. She's just too... soft and delicate. She's a good person, and quite nice-looking, but a warrior she is not. I'm sure you've seen the same problems, right?"
"Thank you captain obvious," Tori said, nonchalantly. "I know she's not cut out for the warrior's life, and after that expedition, hopefully, she realizes it to. Physical prowess was never her strong suit, her skills lay more in the mind; more towards magic. With a little help, she might even make a good cleric. I was going to wait until after the exodus to talk to her about it, but maybe sooner is better than later."
"Hmm, this cave is comfortable enough for someone of my size, there is another cave not far east of here, but it looked like it was already occupied"

"Pfff, fat chance. The entrance was a little narrow so I passed it up, could be anything in there really, I couldn't quite nail down the scent."
"Suppose I could, it's only about a day's hike."
[Just FYI it's around mid-day presently, if you under take another dungeon crawl it could leave the village vulnerable]

As they turned to head back to the village, Tori spoke up. "By the way, Kaelys, you said you spotted things that looked like nagas in the camp as well, right? Does anybody know anything about nagas? I don't recall running into anything like them before."
[You have seen a Naga or two in Alfhime, they existed long before the fuckening but the new wave of transformation magic made them much more common. Tho many of the new breeds were much more agreeable than their older more draconian kin. They are extremely quick & nimble and make formidable skirmishers. The ones you saw in the camp were more reptilian than some of the ones you've seen in Alfhime. Given their numbers and the other troops in the camp attacking them now could be costly. At the very least getting to a firing line of archers that mobile will mean wading through a lot of shocktroops]
