'At the edge of the Old Forest, south through the Barrow-downs, there are many bears suffering from a terrible plague. The only way I can see to save them from their agony is to destroy them and ensure that they do not spread this plague into the remainder of the Old Forest.

'You will find the bears and the plague-carriers deep to the south where the walls of the Old Forest meet the Barrow-downs. Destroy the bears and then destroy the diseased crawlers infesting them.

'You may find some of the disease-carrying crawlers outside of their hosts as well.'

Bob Redthistle can be found at the Dead Man's Perch.

You should return to Bob Redthistle and tell him that the grim work he required is complete.
