'I ain't had myself a square meal since heading north with those fellows what moved on the Bree-fields, and I'm not like them. I just want to get by and earn enough coin to purchase a patch of land to call my own.

'If you don't help me, I'll be lucky to last a night. These goblins keep saying that they want to trade me to Orcs at Midgewater Pass. If you take me south-west to The Forsaken Inn, I'll give you some coin and a pick from the treasures I found in the ruins. We have a deal?
