Scouting the Wild

General Quest

Alphlanc is worried about the "Servants of the Enemy" that crossed the Last Bridge a couple of months ago, but did not return. She wants you to send word of this to a man named Barachen.

STEPS:

1) Talk to Barachen. Alphlanc tells you:

"Barachen maintains a camp to the east, on a hill south of the road. Bring him this message from me, if you are going that way: 'no agents of evil have entered the Trollshaws by the Last Bridge, but so too have none left. Whatever evil lurks among the ruins of old Rhudaur…remains there."

She continues:

"Tread with care and follow the road east until you see my friend Rochwen. She can guide you to Barachen's camp."

True enough, if you keep to the road you will soon find Rochwen on the left (north) side (33.2s, 20.2w). She says to you:

"If you are looking for Barachen's camp, you will find it to the south. Leave the road and follow the slope to the right as it winds up the side of those cliffs."

Ah, such good directions indeed! Head off the road to the south, and before too long you'll spot a slope heading up the mountain (33.9s, 20.1w). Follow that up, and note that you'll be able to see the Ring of Questyness on your radar. Barachen is standing in his camp with a Dwarf (34s, 20.2w). He is glad to hear from you, and wants some further help.

2) After you speak with them and select "Finish Now", you get your XP. If you have not already taken it, you might as well take Barachen's quest, Trampling Hooves.
