'By standing up to the Man, a fearsome brigand named Dirk Hawthorn, I fear I have doomed us all. He set up a camp immediately to the east, just on the south side of the ruins there.
'He threatened to return with enough forces to \qstamp out my little homestead before it can be recognized as anything more than a burned patch of land\q. Mercy me! What a fool am I.
'Please, ${PLAYER}, help me fix this error so that I can see this dream realized.'
Dirk Hawthorn is on the south side of the ruined wall at the foot of the hills surrounding the Barrow-downs, east of Adso's Camp.
Adso fears that the brigand leader, Dirk Hawthorn, will return and kill his workers in the night and asked you to deal with this threat before he could follow through.
