'My friend Arrod watches from the heights above the road, guarding the path to Thorenhad. Fimgris and I have seen trolls wandering towards that path in the night, and I fear for Arrod's safety. He is a skilful archer, surely able to defend against a single troll, but against more? I do not think that even Arrod would survive the encounter.

'Normally, Arrod would send his companion Calendhroval to provide us with regular reports, but I have seen naught of the bird in days. Neither Fimgris nor I can leave our post... would you seek out Arrod and learn if he is well? You need but travel a small distance east to the white marker stone and take the road north. Leave the road to the right as soon as you may and circle back upon the cliff. You should find him among the ruins there.'

Arrod is encamped in the Bruinen Gorges, upon the cliff overlooking the road eastward from Narlinn's camp. Narlinn told you to seek the white marker stone pointing towards the road north to Thorenhad, then take the road and turn aside to the right of the path and circle back to the cliff.

Narlinn has not received any reports from her friend Arrod in days and has asked you to seek him out and learn if he is well.
