There is a rather ill-kept vegetable patch south of the barn, with lots of maize and stubby green plants that suggests potatoes or similar. The roof of the barn sags, as if aged and ill maintained. The main house is in a similar state of slow decay.In the yard, between the two buildings, an 8 foot tall monstrous ogre pads back and forth. He has a grotesquely deformed head that resembles a giant pumpkin on one side, as if some tumors have taken root and gone crazy. He wanders slowly over to the cornfield, stopping to pull a few weeds from between the stalks, and shouting an obscenity at a crow that had dared to land on the edge of the vegetable patch. He carries a large ogre-hook weapon, that he uses to pick dirt from under his nails after he has finished picking a few weeds.Jovik, just five feet from the eastern edge of the clearing, is only twenty or so feet away from this ogre-kin, but he is blissfully unaware of the young rogue's presence.</blockquote>
