Brigands and Half-orcs

Bestowal dialogue

'Grimbriar was right to send us here, but we figured more support would arrive once he realized that we could not submit reports. Your news of what is happening in the north makes it clear that the brigands are moving in with the caravans they let through.

'Those unlucky enough not to have the coin to pay for passage are treated without civility, their lives forfeit, and their goods claimed by these vile creatures. Your information confirms what we have feared. The swarthy fellows among their numbers are half-orcs, foul beasts!

'The time has come to strike back for every life these beasts have claimed. Strike out into the ruins and scourge this enemy clean. I will see you paid handsomely.'

Background

Watcher Brittleleaf's concerns over the brigands at the Southwatch are bolstered by the sheer number of enemies crawling about the ruins. He has asked you to strike back at the enemy, lowering the strength and providing the Watchers of Bree with a fair chance to protect the countryside.

Half-orcs and brigands can be found in the ruins of Andrath.

Watcher Brittleleaf is enraged by the actions of the brigands and half-orcs holding the ruins of the Southwatch and wants you to strike a decisive blow against them.

Watcher Brittleleaf: 'I will see these beasts paid back in the blood they have spilled. Visit our vengeance upon them.'

Watcher Oakdale: 'I cannot fathom the terror that caravans must feel as they approach this place. I fear we cannot hold this tide back for long. Bree-land will need to seek allies elsewhere.'

Objective 2

• Talk to Watcher Brittleleaf

Watcher Brittleleaf and Watcher Oakdale can be found hidden to the east of the northern end of the ruins.

You brought justice to the fiends in the ruins of Southwatch and should return to Watcher Brittleleaf.

Watcher Brittleleaf: 'We cannot restore those who were taken, but we can rest in knowing that some manner of justice has been served.

'I cannot say that the future of Bree-land is brighter, as even now I see that the numbers of this enemy swells to restore those purged. Bree-land is in grave danger from this Sharkey fellow.'

The Vale of Andrath

Bestowal dialogue

'The Vale of Andrath is Bree-land's gateway to the South. The South Downs, Dunland, Isengard, the Gap of Rohan -- all would be closed to Bree-land if the brigands are not hindered. It is clear that Sharkey is no mere brigand-leader. He has employed half-breeds to fill his ranks, a wholly depraved act.

'I sent my men to watch the ruins at Andrath and fear they may now be prisoners or worse. Please, head south beyond the Greenway Crossing, further beyond the shadow of the barrows, and seek my scouts, Oakdale and Brittleleaf. Hopefully they will have found a safe place close to the ruins, likely on the eastern side.

'Be swift, for I fear the worst, and bring caution with you! That's likely to be a bad place.'

Background

Sharkey's Men and their half-orc allies from the South have blockaded the Vale of Andrath, inhibiting trade with the southern nations.

Objective 1

Watcher Grimbriar has learned that Sharkey's Men and their half-orc allies have blockaded the Vale of Andrath. He has asked you to travel south to support his men.

Chief Watcher Grimbriar: 'Make haste to Andrath inthe south along the Greenway. I fear I may have sent my men there ill-prepared to deal with this growing threat.'

Watcher Brittleleaf: 'Grimbriar finally sent support? We have been wondering if he had forgotten us.

'When we arrived, we found a far larger force than anticipated and knew that we could not desert the post. Already we have seen these fiends performing terrible acts.

'We must remain resolute and carry out our duties.'

A Blade of Renown

'I will recognize you as a champion only if you can slay three of the evils that threaten this town of Men. I give you their names and their favourite haunts and ask only that you end them and return to me!

'The people in this town of Men speak the truth, friend champion. I will give you some measure of instruction in the fighting arts, the better to improve the strikes you make at your enemies!'

If I don't give him another sword, and soon, he'll kill her!

'You must save her! Please! Get the sword from Lofar, then go to Blake's camp. It's in the Bree-fields, up north of Bree. I'm sure he'll release my daughter when he has the sword.'

Lofar Ironband: 'Those accursed brigands took Thistleway's daughter? This is bad. This sword isn't ready yet! And I know these types of fellows. They won't take "no" for an answer. They'll kill that girl!

'We now know that the Brigands' Watch, to the west of here in the foothills of Bree-land, is a staging ground for future assaults. The brigands' captain hands out orders from Sharkey himself to his lieutenants.

Objective 1

• Defeat Yellowfang

Yellowfang is somewhere within the Old Forest.

Gytha Lainey has tasked you with defeating Yellowfang, a deadly wolf that stalks the Old Forest. She warned you that Yellowfang is cunning, and you will need to devise some way to lure her out of hiding.

The Hunter's Path

Bestowal dialogue

'Your aim is true and your eyes sharp, <name>, but your prey is still weak. You are not yet skilled enough to hold your own against the foes you need to face.

'I may know someone who can guide you. Gytha Lainey is a hunter of no small skill, and though she has little patience for the undeserving, if she feels you are worthy of the instruction, she will gladly teach you what she knows.

'Look for Gytha Lainey at Adso's Camp on the Great East Road, between Bree and Buckland.'

Background

For a true hunter, speed and precision are everything. A lack of one brings ill fortune. A lack of both brings disaster.

Gytha Lainey, a hunter of great skill, can be found in Bree-land at Adso's Camp on the road between Bree and Buckland.

You have been told to speak with Gytha Lainey for instruction in the art of the hunter.

Hunter Trainer: 'You can find Gytha Lainey at Adso's Camp on the road between Bree and Buckland.'

Gytha Lainey: 'You say you are a hunter, but what proof do you have that you have chosen the right calling? Perhaps you should have been a minstrel, like that Prescott fellow who sometimes sings of my doings. Or perhaps the calling of burglar would have suited you better, like the hobbit back there with his eyes on Adso's roast?

'Still you say you are worthy of calling yourself a hunter! I shall be the judge of that, then, for I have a challenge for you. A mighty wolf stalks among the fallen leaves of the Old Forest, but she displays unusual cunning for her kind and is a menace to those who stray from the paths.

'Speak with me if you are willing to undertake this challenge, and I will go with you into the forest. There will I judge your skill in bringing down the terrible Yellowfang.'

Gytha Lainey: 'Are you ready to go? We will travel into the Old Forest, and I will judge your merit -- if you can defeat Yellowfang, you might be worthy of my teaching.

'Keep in your mind these two warnings, however. The Old Forest is a confusing place for the unwary, and it seems as if the trees move about when you are not looking. Even if you have journeyed beneath the canopy before, you might find that the paths are unknown to you now.

'And secondly, Yellowfang is no fool. She will not challenge you unless you can somehow draw her out of hiding. Your combat ability, as well as your skill at tracking, will be tested.'

Complete the Instance: The Hunter's Path quest.

Objective 3

Gytha Lainey, a hunter of great skill, can be found in Bree-land at Adso's Camp, on the Great East Road between Bree and Buckland.
