You have a vested interest in Lar's success as he runs the Summer Festival Keg-hopping Race.
'Well, ${PLAYER}, good day to you! It is often said that there is nothing better than fine summer weather, though it is a little balmy for my taste this time of year. I am sweltering where I stand!
'These lazy summer days can drag on, which is why we look forward to the Festival events! This year, inhabitants of Thorin's Hall are racing to finish the Keg-hopping Race event as quickly as possible. Who do you think will win?
'I think Lar is the strongest candidate. I don't know that I have ever seen a faster dwarf, nor a less quenchable thirst! If you agree, you should select him.'
The Keg-Hopping Race begins soon on this very track.
You think that Lar will win the race, and you should observe whether or not this comes to pass.
Arnar can be found in the Keg-race area during the Summer Festival.
You should speak with Arnar and collect the bountiful prize he has to offer for your excellent luck.
