Jimjar backs up what you are saying to Carmeneren, telling her about your experiences with the orcs. The older gnome let's out a sigh "Well, it does seem you've taken up against the great evils down below. We do not know all that exists down there, but we know much. Others have been before you, and failed to deal with the deeper evils. I am afraid that you, too, will fail and that those below will be moved to strike upwards, and find us, and kill us all. If you are not clever and wise, you could bring destruction on my people as well as losing your own lives." She stands silently for a time before continuing, "I will not tell you what I know without some evidence that you are worthy of it. I will tell you now, though, that the accursed Dreaming Dark are among those behind the bringing of Dragonmarked into the depths. If you wish for more information, and to put yourselves in good standing with our queen, you would do well to complete a mission for us. Not far from the caves of the Svirfneblin are caves infested with trolls. You would be doing the gnomes a useful service if you eliminated this threat." She stands silently again, waiting for your response.
Carmeneren shakes her head, "You will not want to take on all the trolls at once, there are many of them. From what our scouts can glean, it seems they separate themselves into two tribes: The Topknots and The Slaverers. Perhaps you could use this schism against them, or perhaps not, we do not know the relationship between the two tribes."

"When you say infested," Elero looks at the others, and then back at her, "exactly how big of an infestation are we talking about?"
