'As I believe I mentioned to you before, I came to Archet to learn what connexion the Blackwolds had to the Nazgûl. Here I met Jon Brackenbrook, Captain Brackenbrook's son. It was from him that I learned the location of the Blackwolds' camp and of Celandine and Mundo's capture.

'Jon and his father recently had a terrible falling out. Jon believed that a member of the Captain's garrison, Calder Cob, was in league with the Blackwold brigands. Before I came to you, I witnessed Cob and Éogan discussing a raid on the town. Jon's suspicions are correct, and his father must be warned.

'Captain Brackenbrook, like many, distrusts Rangers and will not heed anything I have to say. Perhaps, if the news comes from you, he will listen. He commands the garrison from The Mad Badger. The entrance is just to the south there, up those steps.'

Amdir rests against the building north of The Mad Badger Inn.

Captain Brackenbrook was not willing to hear what you had to say about Calder Cob. Instead, he told you to tell Amdir to stay out of Archet's troubles, after suggesting you help the local farms fend off wolves.
