C/A) Now that they have access to more and better quality tools made from iron acquired from the mountains, the Genevites start to more intensely work the nearby woods and construct the beginnings of their settlement. They build a small pier to make the use and accommodation of the fishing boats easier and houses or shelters form around it. The land (presumably not a whole lot, but a man's gotta eat) now made clear from felling trees is used for low intensity agriculture.

X/E) Boats will go around the south while men on foot look from land, hoping to get some approximation of the number of trolls and what their primary source of food is.
Average? Between hunting, fishing, foraging, and now growing three different crops, what else could you do for food?
Cannibalism
Once more they were threatened, but this time the threat appeared manageable. The outrage over the killing was great, there was not even a body left to mourn. The men of Genevy gathered and each one of them cast his vote, electing Simon Valente as their Grand Captain. His responsibility was primarily to lead them in war and to present an outward face. Many of the men called for blood to be repaid for blood, but Valente ordered caution. To hurry into attack now would be like charging at a bear or trying to conquer the seas with your bare body. The mind is the greatest gift granted to mankind by the creator and we must make use of it.
F/G) The Grand Captain set about organising the military men into squads. For the moment, they are restricted to mainly simple weaponry. They make slings from animal produce to sling bullets and stones and spears from wood for throwing and thrusting. In the woods near the mountains they would dig holes, placing stakes at the bottom and covering the top in such a way that it melts into nature in order to make traps, as well as any other kind of trap that they might think of. The men would use the nature to mark to each other where the traps have been placed (and of course they talk about it). They will stand watch while others try to extract the metals from the mountains and cliffs, so that we may test their qualities. Maybe they can be used to make better weapons for defeating the trolls, or better tools for ship-building, house building or whatever we might want to accomplish in the future. The men must be vigilant, when the trolls are spotted they and the workers will pull back into the forests. If the trolls pursue they will be lead into the traps.
If nothing else, the huge beasts would at least hopefully have trouble maneuvering in the forest.

E) The Genevites set about exploring the landmass, sending fishing boats to discover its shape while other men go on foot to explore the forests and heights, keeping an eye out for whatever useful or dangerous materials, wildlife or people they might find. Still wary, they carried whatever weapons they possessed or, more likely, their tools with them to have some means of self-defence.
I thought I made a post but I seem to have messed it up somehow since it's nowhere to be found :S
I'll double check this time

A) Improve food (Explore, Infra?)
The Genevites began to gather and organise, doing first what seemed most natural to them; Felling the trees and building simple fishing boats. Maybe they were still unsafe and the boats would provide them with a path of escape. More importantly they would provide them with a means of fishing and the felling of trees would provide them with some living and working space. The men would fish both by angling and by net. Maybe they would get some more knowledge of their whereabouts in the process, though the intention is to follow the fish rather than the coast or to explore.

The humans who call themselves Genevites have appeared on the eastern island, far away from home the waves carried them ashore. Fleeing from forgotten pursuers they found themselves castaway but at peace. The land seemed liveable and it was covered in forests which provide the much needed materials for shipbuilding, the favoured craft of the Genevites. Full of hope they named their new home Genevy after their ancient homeland. Here they hoped to be able to settle down and live freely, surrounded by the water which has always provided their people with food, trade and refuge. ( not sure what color, most are already taken )
This is the internet. There is no room for joking or humour and especially not irony.
