Cool little zone. (I was unaware that "naturally occurring fission reactors" once existed outside, say, the core of the planet. Neat.)
I can't help but to be reminded of Vaughn Bode's weird little dude, Cobalt 60. Maybe he could be some sort of goblin assassin with ancient artifacts cruising around being villainous.

Wouldn't a troll's regenerative powers allow it to heal a lobotomy?
ssssssssshhhhh!!!!
clearly there is some alchemical substance the goblins have access to which prevents regeneration. But don't tell my players that.
Just toss in a random piece of another troll into the brainpan (preferably a hand or foot). It'll keep mooshing up whatever grows back.
Drill a hole and use a red hot poker or pour some acid in....
Lobotomized troll? Yech, I suppose you simply fill in some of the frontal lobe area with some neutral substance to keep it from properly regrowing. Or perhaps some kind of abrasive surfaced object that continually caused minor brain damage. Either sounds pretty horrible.
I love the part about the naturally occurring reactor. One of the most informative posts ever, in many respects.
If ever you draw a map and put all these little bits of your setting in a printed book, you'll make me a very, very happy person.
92 Slab of flesh--result of medusa who turned the demon a stone fortress was made from being killed
I found this old post and I'd like to use it for a game.
but what does 92 mean exactly? I like this idea but what happened here?
In the beginning, there were demons. Then 12 medusa sisters came and turned them to stone. The world was built from that stone.
When a medusa is slain, all the stone they created reverts to flesh
