Lúpa: she is raising an army which will be ready in a
month’s time and she intends to burn the forest in which
they are hiding. Blabus asks Kollr for advice: he says
that that very day his grandmother Nigra is holding a
general council of trolls, and that many stone boats are
sailing from Saxland loaded with all kinds of trolls and
two-headed giants; he wiil now set off himself to meet
his grandmother. He is away for many days, and eomes
back on the day when all the trolls and giants are pre-
paring for battle under their leader, the giant Aper.
