Bestowal dialogue

'When you are ready, we will depart. We will begin by searching for any signs of the Beornings or their cart. Do not fear. I will accompany you into the depths of the forest.'

He flashes a smile at you, and you can tell he said that mainly in jest.

Background

Beorning travellers and an elf scout are missing in the forest. You have joined Thorlind in Eryn Lasgalen to search for them.

Objective 1

Thorlind can be found on the path south of Felegoth.

You should talk to Thorlind.

Thorlind: 'This is where the missing parties began their journey. Follow their footsteps by taking the path west. With keen eyes and ears, perhaps we will discover where they veered off course.'

Objective 2

  • Search for the Beorning's Trail

Follow the path west and search for some sign of the Beornings.

You should search for the Beorning's trail.

You see prints in the path ahead
Thorlind says, "There! Tracks! Boots, the size of a large Man. Signs of a wagon, pulled by a hoofed animal, probably a horse. This is likely them."

Objective 3

  • Follow the Beornings' Trail

The Beornings headed west, towards the Forest Gate.

You should follow the Beornings' trail.

There are more prints in the path here
Thorlind says, "More tracks. We are getting closer."

Objective 4

  • Search for Beorning prints (0/6)

The Beornings headed west, towards the Forest Gate.

You should search for Beorning prints.

BEAR PRINT "Prints that resemble those of a bear."
Found Beorning prints (6/6)
Thorlind says, "Hmm. They leave the path, quickly. And then, the boot prints become bear prints! Something is wrong. Let us pursue."

Objective 5

  • Search for a clue

The Beornings suddenly ran into the woods, north of the path.

You should search for a clue to discover their whereabouts.

There are signs of a struggle here
Thorlind says, "Signs of a struggle. Be alert, <name>."

Objective 6

  • Investigate Elven bow
  • Investigate poisoned root
  • Investigate blood

You have found the scene of a struggle north of the path.

You should investigate the scene.

ELVISH BOW "An Elvish bow that was left behind. Where is its owner?"
A bow of Elven make lies on the ground
Thorlind says, "This is Glenneth's bow! She would not have parted with it unless forced."
POISONED ROOT "A root, torn from the earth. It drips with poison."
A root lies on the ground, its tip dripping with an unknown poison
Thorlind says, "This is poisoned. I have seen this poison before, but not for a very long time..."
BLOOD "Blood marks the place of a battle."
Whose blood is this?
Thorlind says, "I believe this is Glenneth's blood. Something must have ambushed her."

Objective 7

Thorlind can be called back to your side should you get separated.

You should talk to Thorlind.

Thorlind: 'I believe Glenneth was attacked while she was tracking the Beornings, likely by the same thing that spooked their horse into the woods. It is as I suspected; something dangerous is out here with us.'
