'I don't know what's going on with the animals in the Shire lately, but here in Scary we've been having more than our share of troubles. There have always been bats roosting in dark places throughout the Shire, but hobbits know better than to go near them.

'Something has stirred up the bats, though, and they've begun coming out during the daytime! They've even started attacking folk on the outskirts of town! We can't have that, ${PLAYER}, we can't have that at all!

'If you see any of the nasty creatures, I'd appreciate it if you could put an end to them. You'll find them especially to the south, in and around the Marish. I just wonder what's caused them to start attacking like this?'

Prisca Underhill is in Scary, near the entrance to town.

Prisca will be pleased to hear that you have done your part to alleviate the threat of the bats outside Scary.
