Sharkey's Plan

General Quest

Saeradan has new orders to stop Sharkey, and wants you to help by first dealing with the brigand leadership. Saeradan hopes that you will find some correspondence from Sharkey.

If you need some directions on how to find Saeradan, here you are:

Take the West or North Gate out of Bree, and get on the road heading north. You will pass some farmland on your left (west) and soon see a windmill on the same side of the road (25.7s, 53.3w). When you see the windmill, that is when it's time to head to the east and a bit north to the cabin, which you can see from the road. Saeradan is standing just outside his cabin (25.5s, 52.9w).

STEPS:

1) Search the brigand-captain's tent. Saeradan says:

"The brigands have established an encampment they call Brigands' Watch, almost due north of Adso's camp."

The camp you want is called the Brigand's Watch, and it is at the northern tip of the Southern Bree-fields (27.1s, 56.8w). There are actually two entrances to this camp, the location given is for the western entrance. The eastern side is quite close to Everclear Lakes, and has only a few more enemies to kill than the western entrance (26.8s, 55.6w). Either way you will be heading uphill, into the fort proper. There are two alcoves, if you come from the eastern entrance, take the one on the left; if you come from the western entrance, take the one on the right (27s, 56w). You'll be attacked by a Southern Lieutenant and his thugs. After you kill them, double-click the chest in the tent to get the stained letter inside (27.2s, 55.9w).

2) Bring the letter to Saeradan. Saerdan learns from the letter that Orcs are coming from the north, and he fears the outcome if the Orcs combine with the brigands.

3) After you speak with them and select "Finish Now", you get your coin reward, XP, Saeradan's Shoulder Guards, and you will now be able to take the next quest, Orc-Slayer.
