'Look, friend, I have one more favour to ask of you, and it's a terrible thing, too, that fills me with shame to talk about. You know that Bill Ferny I had you pay off before? Well he sent me a message telling me that his henchman, Brunmor, would be after me. He went so far as to tell me that the knave is west and north at some place called the Outlaw's Haven.

'It seems all his big talk is backed by this fellow, and if he is to come here, this scant crew will be useless. But you? You've proven yourself over and again! If you can drive off this Brunmor, maybe I can get out of this mess.

'Get rid of him for me, and I swear it's the last thing I'll ask of you... and I'll pay you well, too! Apparently, the Outlaw's Haven is west of my camp and a little ways north, with watchposts and a fenced encampment on a hill.'

Adso Haybank is at his camp, south-east along the Great East Road.

Desperate to rid himself of his troubles, Adso asked you to drive off the brigands who were extorting money from him. The hobbit will be glad to know that you have succeeded.
