Bestowal

'All the things you've gathered for me are useless, rotten and ruined. Something queer is going on, what with the animals all upset and the Forest seeming, well, more awake than usual.

'There's a wise, old hobbit, a forester, who oft camps a ways into the Old Forest. Look for him beyond Old Muddyfoot's Hill, which you can find south-east of the Bonfire Glade. Maybe Gilly knows what's going on. I'd appreciate it if you'd talk to him...Gillemin Brandybuck, that's his name.

'I'm worried! We had to burn part of the forest when it got too uppity years back, but this is far worse than it was before. If the Bounders have to start another fire, they might destroy the whole Forest, and then where would we be?'

Background

Toly Brockhouse is disturbed by the fact that everything you brought him was spoiled. This, as well as the stirring of the forest creatures has upset him.

Objectives

Objective 1

  • Talk to Gillemin Brandybuck
  • Gillemin Brandybuck's old camp lies to the south-east, but the way is winding. Head south across the water, west into the woods, then look for a path that works its way east and south.

    You found the forester, but Gillemin's news is worse than Toly probably expects. Gillemin reports running into a glade full of monstrous spiders, which chased him away. He dropped his pack at his old campsite and has asked you to retrieve it.

    Objective 2
    Retrieve the Forester's Pack


    Objective 3
    Bring the pack to Gillemin Brandybuck


    Gillemin Brandyuck's old camp lies to the south-east, but the way is winding. Head south across the water, west into the woods, then look for a path that works its way east and south.

    Notes

    Gillemin Brandybuck is at 33.8S 59.3W
