Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue

'It's no secret that I consider myself something of a skilled cook, <name>. Folk are always giving me new recipes to try, and I spend more time preparing delicious new dishes than I do hunting! You need to follow your own path, that's what I always say.

'I spoke for a while with a very nice dwarf named Wéthorm as he passed through Tâl Bruinen on his way north. He told me he had a delicious recipe for Toad Stew, and after a little bit of coaxing, he agreed to share it with me!

'Would you help me gather the ingredients for it? I still need some toad tongues and legs. You will find toads all along the rivers that run through Tâl Bruinen, I wager. I understand that the green river-toads have the tastiest legs and tongues! Don't come back here with legs and tongues from the red ones. Wéthorm was most specific on that point!'

Background

Indor is very excited to try a recipe that the Dwarf Wéthorm gave to him, but he does not have the necessary ingredients.

Objective 1

Collect toad-legs (0/6)

Toads can be found along the riverbanks in Tâl Bruinen.

Indor has asked you to help him collect various ingredients he needs to make toad stew, a recipe given to him by the Dwarf Wéthorm. He reminded you that only the green river-toads will provide tongues and legs of sufficient quality.

Indor: 'You should be able to find toads all along the riverbanks within Tâl Bruinen, <name>. I will share the toad stew with you when it is done, so be quick with collecting the ingredients! They hunt in packs, these toads of Tâl Bruinen, but only the green river-toads are tasty enough for me to use!'

Objective 2

Bring the toad stew ingredients to Indor

Indor is at Echad Candelleth, the Elf-camp at Tâl Bruinen.

You have collected many bits of toad with which Indor plans to make toad stew. You should bring them to him.

Indor: 'Very good, <name>! I see that you have collected the ingredients I need to make toad stew!'

'If you grind them up on that stone right over there, I would be much obliged.'

Indor says, "Grind up the pieces right there, if you would."

Objective 3

Grind toad stew ingredients into mush on the grinding stone

There is a grinding stone right next to the campfire by Indor, at Echad Candelleth.

Indor is waiting for you to grind the ingredients for toad stew into a mush.

You grind the toad pieces into mush

Objective 4

Bring the toad mush to Indor

Indor is at the campfire at Echad Candelleth, in Tâl Bruinen.

You have ground the toad pieces into mush and should now give them to Indor so he can add the finishing touches to the toad stew.

Indor: 'Thank you, thank you, <name>! Now I will just stir this mush into the rest of the stew, and...it is done!'

Indor takes a big bite of the stew and chews contentedly for a moment. Then an expression of disgust crosses his face, and he spits out his mouthful.

'This is disgusting, <name>! It is not at all as delicious as that dwarf claimed!'
