Thornley's Revenge

Bestowal dialogue

'Robb is resting now and recovering nicely, thanks to you, but he asks another favour of you.

'He said he can't sleep, thinking about those accursed Orcs what ambushed him up the Greenway. When he was captured, he said a giant Orc came over to torment him from a camp to the west of the place he was being held, the one behind a wooden stockade. He says the other Orcs called this monster the Red Reaver. Robb says he must have his revenge on the Red Reaver and will be glad to give you what coins he can spare if you can put him to heel.

'Now, I can't say as I like all this bloodshed, and it sounds right dangerous to me, but if you'll show that horrible monster who tortured Robb a thing or two, I guess you surely do deserve a reward.'

Background

You rescued Robb Thornley from the Orcs, battered and beaten, but he is not satisfied with rescue. He wants retribution.

Objective 1

• Defeat the Red Reaver

The Red Reaver is in the Orc-stockade on the western side of the Greenway, north of Thornley's farm.

On behalf of her husband, Rose Thornley has offered you a reward if you would go to the stockade and slay the Red Reaver.

Rose Thornley: 'Have you done away with the Red Reaver yet?'

Objective 2

• Talk to Rose Thornley

Thornley's farm is south along the Greenway from the Orc-stockade.

You should return to Thornley's farm at once to tell Rose of your victory and claim your reward.

Word to the South

Bestowal dialogue

'While we did not capture Ferny, we did stop the threat for the moment. This will please Saeradan, and we should make haste to inform him of this success.

Rangers, watching movements of enemies from the north and south, are concerned over the appearance of a foe they have long fought in the north.

• Talk to Saeradan at his cabin

Saeradan is at his cabin, south of the Old Greenway Fort.

Andreg isntruted you to return to Saeradan with news of your success.

Andreg: 'Return to Saeradan's cabin, south along the Greenway on the east side of the road, and tell him what you have accomplished.'

Saeradan: 'While catching the coward, Ferny, and presenting him to Grimbriar would have established greater acceptance between us, I am pleased to know that the Orcs have been stifled for the moment.

'Still, we cannot be certain that we have stopped their efforts altogether, and I must ask you to continue your efforts for the moment.'

Broken Alliance

"After learning of a plot by Sharkey's Men to forge an alliance with the Orcs encroaching into the northern Bree-fields, the Ranger Saeradan sets into motion a plan to break the alliance before it can be established...."

Bill Ferny says, "Right. Let's try this again. You Orcs will get half - half! We'll give you half of all the loot we take."

Bill Ferny says, "You will be given White Hand gear and all the food you want. The farmers here are feeding us if they don't want their farms burned."

Bill Ferny says, "Oh yes, Sharkey will protect you from the Iron Crown. Have no fear of that!"

Bill Ferny says, "Remember, you've been cut off. Angmar doesn't care what happens to you. But Sharkey's Men can help you!"

Bill Ferny says, "What the-? Intruders? This will be your first test, Chieftain! I'll talk to you again after you've dealt with these fools!"

Breaking Alliances

Bestowal dialogue

'Your efforts in the south yielded information about Bill Ferny, a Man of Bree with terrible and self-serving ideals. Ferny was working to assist the brigands loyal to Sharkey to join with the Tarkrîp Orcs coming from the north. Such an alliance would pinch the resources to Bree-land from both sides and spell certain doom for her people. Your efforts here in the north have done much to assist us in seeing that the Orcs are broken and their strength diminished.

'Your recent discovery of a cave built into the cliff face at Cirith Núr leads me to believe that the cave will serve a terrible purpose; a place for Ferny to meet with the Orc-leaders and facilitate an arrangement to further invade Bree.

'It seems now that you have been chosen to avert this invasion and shatter this alliance once and for all. You will need to return to the encampment at Cirith Núr and enter the cavern to disrupt the alliance. You must see that the Orcs and evil Men do not succeed in their plans. Are you prepared?'

Background

Rangers, watching movements of enemies from the north and south, are concerned over the appearance of a foe they have long fought in the north.

Objective 1

• Locate the Cave

The meeting cave is in the Orc-encampment of Cirith Núr, north-west of the Old Greenway Fort.

Complete the quest Instance: Broken Alliance.

Objective 3

• Talk to Andreg at the Old Greenway Fort

Andreg is at the Old Greenway Fort, south east of Cirith Núr,

You should bring news of your success to Andreg at once.

Andreg: 'Ferny escaped? That does not bode well, but still things could be worse. Given that the Orcs will no longer pose a threat to Bree-land, we have succeeded here. We will turn our attention towards watching Ferny and his associations at once.

'Well done!'

Dirty Work: Orc-slaying

Bestowal dialogue

'The outriders you dispatched were only the first of many foes that made their way into Bree-land from the North Downs. I had hoped that the message you delivered would have been clear enough to force some of the Orcs back towards the north, but they have organized well and built out a fort upon the western side of the Greenway. We need to drive them out of that area as quickly as possible.

'You will need to travel north again, I fear, this time crossing the Greenway and searching for the Orc-encampment called Cirith Núr. Strike at the heart of the Orc-forces there, and we may yet break their will.'

The Orc-encampment was filled with powerful Orcs, and a cave carved into the cliff face lay within the heart of the camp. You should return to Andreg with your report.

'That must be where Ferny is headed!'

Ill Gotten....

Bestowal dialogue

'If we are to investigate Cirith Núr, then we should also do what we can about recovering the many supplies the Orcs have received from raids and from the corrupted Men who aim to assist them.

'You are sure to find these supplies neatly tucked away in crates, packed far differently than Orcs would pack their provisions while marauding through the countryside. Collect these supplies, and I will see that they are restored to the Men of Bree and Trestlebridge.'

'I thank you much for your efforts.'
