Quest Comments
Mayor Graeme Tenderlarch: "Bone Man? Barrow-downs? I know nothing of such things, nor do I care to! But I want rid of that accursed shade in the alley.
"Talk to Newbold Leafcutter. He's a scholar of such dark and mysterious things. He went gallivanting off to the Barrow-downs."
It's likely that Newbold Leafcutter also has a comment.
Old Quest-line Name
Bone Man retains the old quest line name of Shield-brother while its new quests previous did not (other than the quest [19] Shield-brother).
For Reference
Here is the old Bestowal dialogue and Background given by the Lost Shade in the old version of the quest.
- ===Bestowal dialogue===
- Alas...I had hoped my shield-brother would be easily freed, but I suppose it was not meant to be so.
- I believe the Bone Man is somewhere in the southern reaches of the Barrow-downs, but in sooth I know not just where he may be found. Perhaps someone in this town has heard of him and can tell thee more than I.
- I know I have no right to ask thee to face such a fearsome foe as the Bone Man, but for the sake of my shield-brother, I must. Please, search for the Bone Man and destroy him. Alas, I do not know if he can be defeated by a single warrior, even a mighty one, so thou should take allies with thee upon this quest.'
- ===Background===
- The shade in Bree still seeks to free his shield-brother from the curse that binds him to the shadow-realm and to Middle-earth, despite the grim news you brought to him.
Also, upon killing Bone Man, its used to say:
- Bone Man says, "Ha ha ha.... Bow down, slaves! The Bone Man will rend your flesh!"
- Freed Shade says, "At last!"
- Freed Shade says, "Free!"
- Freed Shade says, "At last!"
- Shield-brother's Shade says, "Ah...free at last! I hear my shield-brother's voice from afar. At last I have been forgiven. Thank you...and farewell!"
