Himloc Grouse is certain the Blackwold brigands that have been stealing his crop of pipe-weed will not give up simply because you recovered some of it.
'If we don't do something, the Blackwold brigands will keep stealing my pipe-weed, ${PLAYER}! They sneak into my field under cover of darkness and take as many plants as they can carry, but if you can catch them in the act you might be able to put some fear into them!
'My pipe-weed field is on the hill above Eldo Swatmidge's home, east of Staddle, right near the western edge of the Midgewater Marshes. You ought to be able to handle them by yourself.
'The thieves try to steal from me day and night, so you'll want to keep watch for them. And if you see their leader, take care of him as well.'
