Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'While you were dealing with the guards, I learned from the townsfolk where Fastred often travels to hunt the Orcs of the Sutcrofts. 'He is usually near his father's grave, just past the river to the east. If you can find him, convince him to return to Snowbourn. There are surely more pressing matters for his people than the deaths of a few more Orcs.' Background Gísling has discovered where Fastred routinely hunts the Orcs of the Sutcrofts on his own. Objective 1 Follow Fastred's trail outside of Snowbourn Gísling recommends setting out to the east of Snowbourn in search of Fastred or any Orcs that he has slain in his wake. Gísling suggests that you try to find Fastred in the field and persuade him to return to Snowbourn. Slain Orc: Below you, an Orc lays brutally slain and dismembered...perhaps you have found Fastred's trail Objective 2 Follow Fastred's trail of slaughtered Orcs Gísling recommends setting out to the east of Snowbourn in search of Fastred or any Orcs that he has slain in his wake. Gísling suggests that you try to find Fastred in the field and persuade him to return to Snowbourn. Slain Orc: Another slaughtered Orc lays at your feet. This one appears to have had two blades thrust through its skull Objective 3 Follow Fastred's trail of slaughtered Orcs Gísling recommends setting out to the east of Snowbourn in search of Fastred or any Orcs that he has slain in his wake. Gísling suggests that you try to find Fastred in the field and persuade him to return to Snowbourn. Slain Orc: Its legs slashed, this Orc looks to have attempted to flee before being run down Objective 4 Follow Fastred's trail of slaughtered Orcs Gísling recommends setting out to the east of Snowbourn in search of Fastred or any Orcs that he has slain in his wake. Gísling suggests that you try to find Fastred in the field and persuade him to return to Snowbourn. Slain Orc: Black blood still pours from the neck of this recently beheaded Orc...Fastred must be nearby Objective 5 Find Fastred You have followed Fastred's trail of slaughter far into the Sutcrofts. He must be nearby. You should search for Fastred. As you explore, you notice a Rohirrim caked in black blood standing in the distance Objective 6 Talk to Fastred Fastred can be found near Dagred's grave to the west and slightly north of Snowbourn. You should deliver Gísling's message to Fastred. Fastred: 'Aye? Can you not see that I am busy? Fastred pulls his blade from the corpse of an Orc at his feet. 'So...Gísil has failed to hold Garsfeld, and the forces in the north intend to wipe us out? 'They will try, but they cannot succeed. I will fight to see every last bit of Orc-filth on these fields purged. It is only by your good fortune that I have had my fill of Orc-bloodshed for today, so yes, I will return to Snowbourn. 'We can speak more in the Mead Hall...for now, leave me to my work.'
