Bestowal Dialogue 'I have some good news, <name>. After a lot of hard work from the Woodcutter's Brotherhood and its members, Trestlebridge will soon have a monthly market day where farmers and traders will come to town, bringing their goods in tow. 'To keep the town safe, the Woodcutter's Brotherhood has been vetting each vendor. Today we are talking to some of the nearby farmers from the Bree-fields. Would you like to talk to the vendor for us?' Background The Woodcutter's Brotherhood has agreed to help Trestlebridge bring a farmers' market to the centre of town.

Helpful Vendor: 'Yes, there was a man standing behind the market stall there. He saw you inspecting the farmers' goods and started to get nervous. I only know this because I saw him pacing. Then he walked away until he was almost out of sight, whereupon he just started running. I think he was heading in the direction of the Bree-fields. I hope that helps. Glad you like my marmalades though!' Objective 4 You should follow in pursuit of the fleeing vendor or Find and follow the man's trail The owner of the poisonous fruit ran out of town and towards the Wildwood.

You should talk to Aran Greenwith. Aran Greenwith: 'Now we have a name, Gothtal. We also know this Orc frequents the outpost of Cotfast in the Wildwood. An attempt to infiltrate our market in town is a brazen effort for this Gothtal. Has he become desperate? What is his plan? I hope to find out soon, <name>.
