Restoring the Balance

The lynx that prowl Thorin's Gate are too many for the land to support. They attack travellers and the thrushes, long-time friends of the dwarves.

Description
Stage 1
Stage 2

'Blast those Dourhands! They are supposed to be out hunting, but I see nary a one of them out there! There are too many lynx and not enough food to go around. Worse still, our friends the thrushes are falling prey to the beasts! We can't stand by and do nothing, so I'm asking you to go out on a hunting expedition for us.

'Kill a few of the highland cubs and highland prowlers nearby and keep them from doing more harm. Just east of Frerin's Court, I saw a pride of the beasts, and others here tell of still more to the north.

'Oh, and be sure to bring back the pelts! The nights out here are cold and long, and we could use some warm furs to keep away the chill.'

Highland cubs and highland prowlers can be found in the wooded areas north or east of Frerin's Court.

Nos Grimsong asked you to defeat the lynx found throughout Thorin's Gate and bring back their pelts.
