Northern Barrow-downs |
The body is cold to the touch but the wounds appear fresh - though the lack of blood surrounding the man's body is disturbing. In his hand, the man clutches a note.
His position and a trail of disturbed earth makes it appear that he traveled through the gloom of the Barrow-downs to reach this point. The note is chewed and crumpled and the only legible words are: 'between the Old Forest and the northern Barrow-downs, Send help.'
You happened upon a poor adventurer on the outskirts of the northern Barrow-downs. Clutched within the corpses hand you found a note to Barliman Butterbur. Apparently, his assistant Bob came to the Barrows to find his daughter and found his way to the west between the Barrow-downs and the unforgiving darkness of the Old Forest.
Objective 1
Speak with one of the survivors of the ill-fated expedition into the Barrow-downs.
Find the camp of the survivors between the Old Forest and the north Barrow-downs.
