Quickbeam asked you to take the strange draught he provided and try splashing it upon the Stone-trolls. It may serve to soothem or render them sleepy, as it is meant to do with the Huorns. Objective 2 Talk to Quickbeam Tell Quickbeam how the draught affected the trolls. Quickbeam: 'Slower you say? Drowsy even? 'Yes, well...hoom... 'That is unexpected, but not wholly so. There must be something of ancient wood in them after all. 'To think that trees might have been bent so, it only makes me angrier...the Entmoot must know if this. Ta-rum...'
