'I need your help! The Orcs have some foul magic that they hope to use against us! The other night I was keeping watch on this side of Cirith Nur, and I saw dark figures carrying a pair of crates out of Nan Wathren.

'I loosed a fire-arrow at them, to signal the town-guard. The arrow struck one crate, and those carrying it dropped it and ran. Soon after, there was a sound like thunder and a ball of fire! The others hastily retreated carrying the other crate.

'Can you imagine what would have happened if they had gotten that onto the bridge? We must learn what was in that crate! Would you go to the western edge of the Nan Wathren, search for this crate and find out what's inside?'

Background

Aggy Digweed spotted figures carrying a crate outside of Nan Wathren. To signal the guard at Trestlebridge, she fired a fire arrow towards them and struck the crate, which exploded in a ball of flame.

Objectives

Objective 1
Collect the crate contents

The crate was destroyed at the western edge of Nan Wathren

Aggy Digweed, afraid that this new weapon may be the doom of Trestlebridge, asked you to look for the shattered remains of the crate.

Objective 2
Bring the crate contents to Aggy Digweed

'Is this what you found in their camp? Here, let me examine it...

'Awful stuff! I've no doubt this stuff is dark magic. And knowing Orcs, this crate wasn't the only source of this "Black-fire!"

Notes

Walk north of Trestlebridge over the bridge and turn right. Head east past the Orc camp, over 2 bridges and the crate will be on a platform protected by 3 or so mobs. The coords are 15.0S 49.9W.
