Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'The growth we see running rampant in Redhorn Lodes has been present in Foundations of Stone for some time, but has never been seen here before. But something has changed, and it seems as if something brought it here and is helping it grow. 'I need you to help me find the reason why it's spreading here. If we can remove that which helps it grow here, perhaps it will recede, and stay where it came from.' Background The infestation in the eastern Redhorn Lodes seems to be guided and encouraged by something sinister. How could it have spread so quickly from the Foundations of Stone? Objective 1 Find what is cultivating the mushrooms The cultivator of the mushrooms is likely to be near the center of the recently corrupted area. The corruption has spread quickly from the Foundations of Stone, and it is being helped and guided by something. The source of the wildly growing mushrooms is a terror from deep within the Foundations of Stone! Objective 2 Defeat The Twisted One The cultivator of the mushrooms is a terror from deep within the Foundations of Stone. The corruption has spread quickly from the Foundations of Stone, and it is being helped and guided by one of the nameless. This agent of corruption must have been sent here by something far more sinister... The agent of corruption has been defeated! Objective 3 Return to Knakk Knakk is camped on the elevated walkway in the northeast corner of Redhorn Lodes. He will be eager to know his assessment was right, and that the cultivator of the mushrooms has been found and defeated. Knakk: 'You found it, the one who helped to corrupt such a large area of the Redhorn? I knew there was a sinister hand behind it! 'The one who did it was a faceless creature?! You are far more brave than I, as even your description of it would give me nightmares for weeks, months perhaps. You have my thanks for saving the Redhorn Lodes, a jewel of Moria.'
