Arriving they encountered a large force of four ogres  and 12 goblins, led by two trolls, which they surprised though both sides had to deal with trying to avoid being pummeled, impaled, or trampled by moving trees!At one point one of the players said (very seriously), "This is where we die."  Two PCs ended up nearly dying, being carried off by the trolls unconscious for a later snack, but quick thinking got them free. Unfortunately, in using fire to fight the trolls, the set part of the moving forest on fire.  Later, they ran into some firbolgs in the guise of fey children but gained their trust enough to see their true forms and learn some of what was going on - though why the trees were moving was still unclear.  When the druid used speak with plants to talk to a tree, it explained in its slow myopic way, that the forest was obey the commands of the Forest Queen of the Tree Shepherds (so the party figured, treants?)  The firblgs explained that the troll forces had devastated their community and the six young adult firbolgs that were left (the children, elderly and adolescents were sent away to safety) had pledged a blood oath to destroy the troll forces even if it meant giving up their own lives and burning down the whole forest in the processThey left off splitting the duties of dealing with the threat. While the firbolgs would be investigating some caves where they though the troll chieftainess might be, the PCs head off in the direction of a dry river gorge where another source had suggested they might find a rebel faction of goblins to recruit to their purpose.</blockquote>
