Trollocs have been busy, and in a remarkable feat for beasts of such low intelligence, have fashioned a "Great Catapult" near the orchard. This remarkable feat of engineering can hurl cow carcasses, and can even be aimed with some degree of accuracy by saying to the Strong Trolloc to "fire east", "fire south" etc. A cow coming at you out of the sky hurts, so expect pain!
The Shienaran Lancers are on the case, and have comissioned local workers to produce a similar device.
