The Rangers have heard rumours that agents of Angmar plan to cut the roads to Rivendell where travellers would pass through the Trollshaws. They have asked you to patrol the areas west of the Ford of Bruinen to provide warning should such an intrusion occur.
'Ah, ${PLAYER}, perhaps you can help us - we have overheard rumour that the Angmarim may soon move to cut off the road to Rivendell as it passes through the western Trollshaws. We cannot allow them to cut us off from our strongest allies! I need you to patrol the areas west of the Ford of Bruinen and keep a sharp eye out for Angmarim forces.'
Begin your patrol at Barachen's Camp, which can be found in the hills South of the road as it runs East from the Last Bridge.
Find the glade occupied by a set of three petrified Stone-trolls. It lies somewhere in the hills North-east of Barachen's camp.
Scout the ruins of Drauglad, south-east of the Stone-troll's Glade.
Scout the Ford of Bruinen, which lies South-east of the ruins of Drauglad.
Report to Handarod and tell him the results of your patrol in the Western Trollshaws.
