Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'The armour you found is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship, <name>. What interests me particularly are these gouges in it: look here, and here. I believe this was carried in a creature's claws. 'Attacked by bats? Well, I suppose... but why would a bat carry a piece of armour about? This is most peculiar. 'When inspecting finely crafted armour, there is one dwarf who I would count on beyond all others: Sigdan. Talk to him here in the Chamber of the Crossroads, he may have some insight into this strange find.' Background You found a piece of armour. When you picked it up, bats attacked you. Objective 1 Talk to Sigdan at the Chamber of the Crossroads Sigdan is in the Chamber of the Crossroads, north of the Dolven-view. Rambi told you to speak to his friend Sigdan about the armour you found. Rambi: 'Sigdan will likely know more about that armour. You can find him at the Chamber of the Crossroawdds.' Sigdan: 'Yes, I am Sigdan. Your servant, brave <class>. Why have you sought me out?' Sigdan looks carefully at the claw marks in the armour. 'These scratches are too deep to have been caused by even the largest of bats. It would have taken something much stronger to have pierced armour this well made. That is really all I can say.' Objective 2 Talk to Rambi in the Chamber of the Crossroads Rambi is at the Chamber of the Crossroads in Durin's Way. Sigdan has given his evaluation of the scratches in the armour you found. Rambi: 'Sigdan doesn't think this was done by a bat, and neither do I. The bats fit into this in some way, but I have yet to figure out how.'
