<b>Minor Boon</b> <i> The Mountain Troll (Local Ally)</i>

Guarding the pass that leads to the magical plateau in the mountains is a Troll named Girblerfangramen.  He has for ages tended to the singular bridge that provides the access a mundane traveller would need to get to the plateau.  A horrible looking thing, his age showing in forms of crags and wrinkles as deep as ravines - his age does not diminish his apparent might - and the aged troll has stacked high the bones of those that had not paid proper tribute over the decades in order to pass the bridge's toll.  He is dimly aware of the world outside of the bridge - and knows of the magi that have made their home on the plateau.  A formidable beast, he is no unhinged monster - and he recognized the potential harm that might befall his beloved bridge should he make war against them... Instead, he bargained - and as long as the covenant pays him a sum of three goats a year, all of its members shall be granted free and unmolested passage o'er the bridge.
