The Archaeologists' Camp
Go through the gates into the campsite. Speaking with any of the archaeologists will lead you to Jax, the leader of the dig until the group was attacked by trolls. Jax will tell you about a creator race and how he will reward you if you bring him proof that it existed. Enter the barracks and speak with Revat and Lenton. Revat wants you to rescue his mother from the trolls and gives you a ring. Lenton wants you to avenge the death of his brother by bringing him the head of the troll chief.
Luckily, you can accomplish all of these goals in one place: one huge seven-level place full of trolls, golems, and strange beasts of which you've never even heard tales. Before you leave the barracks, pay a visit to the second floor. One of the escaped convicts from the Bounty Hunt quest, Deliliah (14th-level rogue), is hiding up here. Kill her, or let her surrender in exchange for information and her ear.
Geth
Before you enter the Troll Caves, head south along the road. You'll be set upon by poor Geth in werewolf form. When he surrenders, make him use the silver charm. Now head to the caves in the northeastern corner of the east road.
Troll Caves: Storage Level
A-From East Road B-Revat's Mother C-To Troll Caves: Level One D-Portal from Creator Ruins |
Make your way through the caves to the stairs. Before you descend, stop and talk with Janis, Revat's mother. Use Revat's ring to free her, then continue downstairs.
Troll Caves: Level One
A-To Storage Area B-To East Road C-To Troll Caves: Level Two D-Troll Chieftain E-Synth La'Neral's Corpse |
Fight your way to the troll chieftain's chamber in the northeast corner of this level. He's a tough fighter--a 15th-level giant/6th-level cleric. His minions will be a little easier. Once they're dead, loot his body and take the head. Loot the room, then head to the west side of the cave. In the northwest tunnel, you'll find a corpse. Search it for the journal of Synth La'Neral, needed for Linu's henchman quest.
Troll Caves: Level Two
A-To Troll Caves: Level One B-Troll Shaman C-To Troll Caves: Level Two |
There is little to note on this level, apart from the troll shaman behind a locked door in the southern central area of the cave. Fight your way through and continue down.
Troll Caves: Level Three
A-To Troll Caves: Level Two B-Darius C-To the Creator Ruins |
Near the stairs from level two, you'll find a disturbed individual in a cell. He'll tell you about something lurking beneath the troll caves, and his behavior should convince you that he's serious. At the east end of the long tunnel, you'll find stairs leading down.
