Buddha, have you seen the film Dagon? It's an adaptation of The Shadow Over Innsmouth, a loose adaptation.

I have not.  I'm taking it I should?

You really didn't miss anything then. It wasn't a bad film, there was nothing really notable about it.

Trigger-happy.

The matter laid to rest, we obtained what poor maps and directions there were to be had from the rustics of Greenmarsh. The townsfolk avoided the marshes and bogs for the most part, the treacherous and undomesticated wetlands being anathema to their pastoral way of life. Some of the eldest, however, repeated injunctions they had heard in their youth that concerned certain rings of standing stones of evil reputation arrayed in the deepest regions of the mire. As to the reasons for such aversion they grew reticent, casting furtive glances to where the church once stood and remarking only that things had been done differently in the town in times past. At the landward extreme of the marsh there were situated a small cluster of shacks belonging to peat-cutters, according to our simple informants. We gathered that these cutters were somewhat outcasts even from the largely decayed population of the village, but would be better able to direct us to where the Cossacks might be camped.

Before setting out, a peculiar ritual played out amongst my companions as we stowed our luggage on the vehicles. The detective inspector checked the action of his rifle, stowing a handful of loose rounds in a pocket of his blue coat. Likewise, Miss Williams examined the load of her pistol with well-practiced, if unbecoming, familiarity. Lastly, the Russian and the Cossack also displayed well-traveled but impeccably-maintained firearms. The more heavily-armed Cossack readied a fearsome trench-sweeper of American manufacture along with his sidearm and lavishly-decorated shashka sabre. Lt. Alenko was armed more prosaically, with a Nagant carbine and revolver. He offered the revolver to me, and I took it with some distaste, having seen more than enough of the carnage such weapons could wreak during the Great War. For all my lofty goals of stopping M. Arterius and my moral horror at the consequences of possible failure, this was perhaps the first time I considered the method with which success might be obtained. It was a sobering thought, and I prayed that we would be in time for such measures to be effective, for I feared mere gunpowder and lead shot might be useless against the sort of incarnate nightmares that the disgraced officer intended to traffic with. During this, I thought that I spied Miss Zorah whetting a strangely constructed blade which seemed more an athame than a knife of any more mundane use. When we finally embarked, however, there was no sign of it, so I put it from my mind. She apparently would remain unarmed, and sat quietly, giving the impression of conserving her tenuous strength.

The drive along the back roads from Greenmarsh to the deepest point of the bog accessible by motorcar was an unpleasant one at best. The rutted tracks had clearly seen little passage by conveyance of any sort, and were overgrown with tall grasses and repugnant fungal growths of stupendous size. Several times during the trip, we were forced to disembark and push the vehicles out of sections of the road that had turned to morass, pitfalls that were practically invisible due to obscuring growth. It soon became clear that we were not likely to reach our destination before nightfall, though actual dusk did little to diminish the already poor visibility the path was so overshadowed by low trees with scabrous, lichen-riddled boles. These crooked trunks twisted and leaned so close that often it seemed as though we would be forced to abandon the vehicles and proceed on foot and more than once I despaired of reaching the described peat-cutter settlement at all. More disconcertingly, the few times the darkening sky became visible, it was invariably bisected by that abhorrent black spire off the coast.

Thats cute.  You believe our perceptions of you are derived primarily by the pictures you post and the actions you take on this Thread.  A troll gains recognition and influence via the reactions people have to these actions, not the actions themselves.  But what happens when you are no longer able to elicit a response from the thead?  When no one gives a ****?
