Bestowal Dialogue
'This is it, my friend. Tell me you will bring Bilbo Baggins back to the surface from within the depths of Goblin-town.'
Background
Bilbo Baggins has run afoul of the goblins of the Misty Mountains... again!
Objective 1
You mission is to free Bilbo Baggins from the goblins. Speak to Celeblír to set forth!
Objective 2
Celeblír is west of the Last Homely House, near the Town Crier.
- Celeblír: 'Thank you so much for finding Bilbo and bringing him back to safety! Now I can finally ask Bilbo the important question for which I sought him in the first place, and which his absence made impossible to answer. What was it? Oh, I will ask him myself, after he has rested from his ordeal. It involved the rhyme scheme for a song I am composing, an ode to the sound made by the wind through the leaves of the valley. He has quite a talent for such things, you know, and I needed his opinion on a few other particulars. But I will present those to him later.'
- 'But now you should check in with our hobbit in the Hall of Fire, and make sure he has recovered from his ordeal.'
Objective 3
Bilbo Baggins is back in the Hall of Fire, in the Last Homely House.
- Bilbo: 'Well, <name>, I hope you will accept my apology for causing you any trouble! Elrond has already spoken to me about his fear that I intended to follow young Frodo and the others, and I tell you, as I told him, that such a thing was not on my mind. No, I simply wanted to take a walk in the crisp, clear air of the mountains.'
- 'It was quite a nice stroll, and it was good to visit with my old friend Glóin. We talked about our days of adventure, and about old friends, and I intended to turn around and come back to Rivendell after that. But I kept walking, and every new stone seemed interesting and unique, and around every bend I wondered what I might see. It was my old wanderlust again, I suppose, and it put me in mind of my adventuring days: around every turn a new marvel! And then there were goblins. Isn't that always the way of it?'
- Bilbo pauses thoughtfully.
- 'How do you think Frodo is doing? Adventures are quite different when you're in them, aren't they? I look back on my own and don't remember the damp, or the fear; I remember how it turned out, and not the uncertainty as it was turning! I hope Frodo and the others with him are as fortunate as I was, and can look back fondly on the quest when it is finished!'
- You assure the old hobbit that Frodo has many strong companions who will watch over him.
- 'Yes, I know, <name>. Thank you for that, and for the assistance in Goblin-town! I cannot promise not to take further strolls in the mountains, but I will try not to run afoul of goblins again! Farewell and thanks once more!'
