You have travelled with Constable Underhill of Combe into the cave that the Blackwolds once used as a hideout.
Constable Underhill travelled with you to the cave hideout of William Skunkwood, the former leader of the Blackwolds in the area of Combe. Skunkwood is dead, as well as a good many other brigands, but you must be certain they have not begun to muster their strength again.
In one of the deeper chambers of the Blackwolds' hideout, you encountered the mysterious dwarf threatening a brigand. The dwarf gravely wounded the brigand, then fled, commanding his dwarves to attack you.
Constable Underhill has asked you to speak to the wounded brigand.
The dying brigand revealed that the Blackwolds were being paid by both someone from the south and agents of Angmar. When he tried to reform the band without allegiance to either, the Pale Dwarf struck him down. You should speak with Constable Underhill about this.
