Message: <blockquote data-quote="Stormonu" data-source="post: 6082810" data-attributes="member: 52734"><a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=56284&d=1360021009" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=56284&d=1360021009</a>Ogre's Folly.Located near a halfling village, the local residents speak of a haunted path up into the local hills.  This trundled path is lined by a thicket that provides a sort of galley leading up into the hills.  With a height only a little over five feet, it is somewhat difficult for large folk to traverse.According to legend, many years ago the path was a mere dirt track over a hill between a halfling and a gnome village. A cruel ogre took up residence at the top of the hill, demanding tribute from any and all who dared to use the road.  One summer's evening however, a crafty halfling (druid) tricked the ogre into believing that the road would garner more travelers if it were better tended to.  The halfling tricked the ogre into rolling boulders down both sides of the path to smooth it out, and then tricked the ogre into planting magical bushes for cover along the path to provide shade to travellers.  The halfling druid caused the bushes to grow into a thicket that protected travellers with an enveloping canopy.  The ogre attempted to catch the halfling druid when he used the "tunnel" to escape, and died shortly thereafter from the poison thorns that torn his flesh when he attempted to reach into the pathway to capture the small rascal.  However, the ogre laid a dying curse upon the path and it is said that wherever one can find a gap in the brambles, there is sure to be trouble waiting to ensnare the individual.</blockquote>
