An ogre tries to rob you to the north. Kill it for some good salable items. There's also a stone circle here which you can't do anything with until you get a quest from Exodus. Some worgs need killing as well.

Once you have the quest from Foramon, come back here. Charge your characters up with protective spells, and make sure your priest has mass healing. Then approach the pillars. One pillar will come to life as a golem. Don't kill it! Instead, take its abuse with a strong character (enduring shield + augmentation + a hasted priest to heal every turn helps). After 5-10 rounds, the golem runs out of juice. Go tell Foramon for your reward.

If you're underground, you can take the central-south passage down to a decently challenging area, Khora-Vysss.

Otherwise, there's plenty of foes here, including some bandits (and Thea the Scourge) to the north. Kill them and take their stuff. You can use any number of the passage ways here to get back to town in case you need to sell your stuff or what have you. Head north.
