    Bob
    Northern Barrow-downs

Bestowal

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.'

Background

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.
