Obtaining the quest items is very slow and aggravating. I finally got the blackened vial from a Broken Skull initiate after about 10 hours of farming. (non-continuous). I set up camp in the far corner of the sand room and single-pulled initiates and the odd roaming Furious Blackhand. I am a 58 shaman and was able to solo. Most of the Mobs conned light blue with an occasional dark blue adherent. You should definitely get Virtue before attempting this. The mobs hit for a cummulative 185 - 250 per turn.
Fortunately, the trolls have a very low agro radius. My technique for killing them started with casting root, slow, cripple, poison dot, disease dot, cold direct damage then let pet whack until root breaks and join in and beat on the troll while hurling direct damage spells. I always had gate loaded for those times when I did aggro a second mob or when I couldn't break the gate cycle of the adherent and was running out of mana.
Adherents will gate at about 20% and return with 33% health. As a Barbarian Shaman, I was able to use slam to break up their gate spell. When they return from the gate, they do not bring friends.
Furious and Vehement Blackhands reside in the Courtyard. You can kill them and move around the room as you polish them off or set up camp in one of the alcoves. As of yet, I have not gotten the broken skull blood or the pure blood.
The plus side is the trolls drops rubicite ore, nilitim's pages, various words, and some nice trinkets.
As some of the other posts say, you can get to the zone via the lava road, climb the wall on the right just past the bridge. You will need invisibility on unless you want to fight the fire elementals and the troll miner at the top of the wall.

You say, 'Hail, Grennik Neltrin'
Grennik Neltrin says 'Hello. Have you been exploring the island? I came here to discover the secrets of the Broken Skull trolls but I have yet to even explore the island. Rumors that their high priest Nadox held the power to cure any disease have been drifting around Norrath for some time. I've come to see if the rumors are true. Unfortunately the island is much more dangerous than I had imagined and I haven't found anything useful. If you find anything having to do with the troll High Priest, please bring it to me.'
Upon handing the potion to Grennik: You gain experience!! Grennik Neltrin holds the vial carefully between her fingers as she spins it slowly in the light. 'Yes I believe the potion is complete now. Of course we can never be certain until one of us drinks it. Since you prepared it would stand to reason for you to try it.' She lifts the dark potion towards ______ and ______ reaches out and takes it from her. ______ takes a deep breath and brings the potion to his lips. The smell nearly makes him faint, but he regains his composure and swallows it in one giant gulp. You are suddenly filled with dark warmth as the potion slides down into your stomach. You can almost sense it invading your body, battling with your defenses. You stomach turns as the venom and blood mixes in your stomach and you fight the urge to pass out. You focus all of your energy on combating the poison inside you and your body begins to turn the venom. Eventually the poison grows silent inside you and only a slight warmth is left in its place. You have conquered the poison.' Clerics and Druids receive the Spell: Pure Blood while Shaman receive the Spell: Blood of Nadox. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
