The cookies are.. left out just so, mostly near the trolls rather than the troll blood, for maximum effect.

Somewhere, Bix simply repairs the old TV. It's a black and white one... but it's a TV and it works. No need to throw it away. Bix fusses. Wishing he were as good at this as he is with cars. Idly, he munches on the cookie... unaware that his skin is looking like wax..and his form shirnking. His hands with less might, but gaining aptitude.

"Hey, what if I took out the screen and ..." What was supposed to be a simple wire job is now a mission

Maude, mother of three, grandmother of many, hears June Maude call out

"Mom, wouold you mind watching Cooper? I have to change Theodora's diaper" June Maude says.

The troll woman wipes crumbs from her mouth.. meaning to do it daintily, but become more crude in motion "yeah yeah.. I mean.. yes, surely" She opens the door to the now less crowded nursery to see Cooper, the only boy in the mix. He's adorable! Heck, he's.. sweet enough to eat. The redcap licks her lips

The more Murray thinks about it, the more sense it makes- Defense is fine, but just once, a raid or at least an aggressive move might be a good idea. Yeah. The Eshu grabs his spear.

The sluagh takes a puff on his pipe.

And peeks out of his Shaman's cabin.

Yup. There goes a satyr girl ,chasing a second cousin. Poor fellow

At least it's a SECOND Cousin. Hopefully she'll get distracted.

His keen ears hear the dogs barking with alarm at the redcaps eying the sheep.

And, a nocker appears to be fastening a lightning rod to a roof of one of the spare barns.

"well" Whispers the Mountain, "I'll be a suckegged mule"

He sighs. He shouldn't have mentioned sucking eggs. Now he's kind of hungry.

...............

"If we wire up TWO batteries to the lightning rod, and then cross them here...." Mara didn't question Bix's change, not with a new partner in crime to SUPERCHARGE the tractor....
