'There was a time when our hunters kept the number of bears in check, but alas, the beasts have grown numerous in recent years. It's shameful, really, that we have let the wild overrun our paths. As long as dwarves dwell here, the ways should be safe.

'If you want to be of help, patrol north from Noglond to Hunter's Notch and clear out any of the beasts you find.

'With your help, we will make the road safe once more.'

Ketill is in Noglond, south of Thorin's Hall.

You should return to Ketill and report the results of your patrol.
