A Security Feature of Ten Watchmen Trolls

Opposite the entrance, down the far end of the hall hung a large impressive portrait. It was cradled in a carved dark brown frame of wood, expertly crafted, depicting small creatures and flowers.

The painting's varnish lustred like amber and the entire artwork stood six feet high. Its subject was of the Azlan -and his presence seemed to be invoked through the brushstroke alone - it was serenely powerful to gaze into.

Around the perimeter of the forest Puck had installed a security feature of ten watchmen Trolls.

He had also created a magnetic wall surrounding, which repelled force with the same velocity that came towards it - unless relaxed by an invisible key.


Stunned birds that hit the wall flying would propel back into the forest beyond, and stray dwarves would stand watching this go on, just for the laugh of it.
