'The merrevail at Dannenglor are deadly foes, and I fear that my friends met their doom if facing them unawares. Your exploration thus far served one purpose -- to prepare us for facing the threat on our northern side.

'You should go back to Dannenglor, this time armed with the knowledge you have gained from your first exploration. Cut down as many merrevail as you can, and then report back to me when the way is clearer.

'If you can do this, we will surely be able to find my lost friends! I dearly hope that they live yet, but I am deeply troubled, deeply troubled....'

Fernachar awaits you anxiously at the Haunted Inn in the Dourstocks, south of Dannenglor.

You should return swiftly to Fernachar and inform him of your relative success against the merrevail of Dannenglor.
