Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue The journal reads: "Dwarf who makes me has no need for me. Dwarf who buys me has no use for me. Dwarf who uses me would not want me." "I have a hundred legs and cannot stand. I have no head and a long neck. I cannot see, but I am neat as can be." "A hundred arms, a thousand fingers, And no eyes to see where it is I linger." "With a knife, cut open my head, Then weep beside me when I am dead." "I have no eyes, yet once did I see. I once had thoughts, now I'm empty." And then comes this strange little verse: "Hundred-arms comes before headless long-neck. Head-cut-open is alone at the end. Headless long-neck comes after dwarf-and-me and hundred-arms. No-eyes comes after headless long-neck. Dwarf-and-me comes after hundred-arms" The plaques associated with this puzzle are here in Balin's Camp!
