Hiders and Seekers  

'Hello there! You wouldn't mind helping me out with a game of Hiders and Seekers, would you? You see, my friends Daisy and Polo have convinced me to play, even though they always hide in the same places! It isn't nearly as much fun when your friends are so unimaginative, as I'm sure you realize.

'It would be fantastic if you could round them up for me. I'll give you a coin or two if you help me out, but I don't know how many more times I can pretend to be surprised that Daisy is hiding on the bushes next to Peony Grubb's home, or that Polo is crouched behind the carved statue of Marcho and Blanco.

'You'll find the statue carved on a large tree strump just south of here, and I'm sure that Polo Brockhouse is hiding right by it. Southeast of the statue, there's a small hill with several hobbit-houses behind a wooden fence - Daisy thinks the bushes to the right of Peony Grubb's house are a clever place to hide. Find my friends for me, and next time I'll try and tell them I don't feel like playing Hiders and Seekers!'

Rollo Newbuck has been asked to play Hiders and Seekers with his friends, Daisy and Polo Brockhouse, but their unimaginative hiding places have made him lose interest in the game.

Objective 1
Find Polo Brockhouse
Find Daisy Brockhouse

Polo Brockhouse is hiding behind the carved wooden statue of Marcho and Blanco in the centre of Michel Delving. His sister Daisy is hiding southeast of the carving, in the bushes to the right of Peony Grubb's home.

Rollo Newbuck is playing Hiders and Seekers with his friends, but they always hide in the same places, and he is tired of pretending to be surprised every time he finds them.

Polo Brockhouse:

'Ha ha! Rollo sent you to find me, did he? It always takes him so long to find us. Just between you and me, I don't think he's very good at Hiders and Seekers.

I'll stay here and think about where I can hide for our next game!'

Objective 2
