'There are patrols running up and down the road along the Isen to the south-west of here.

'As long as they can keep an eye on that road, it will be difficult for us to make a move in that direction without them knowing about it.

'We are outnumbered badly enough as it is...we need the element of surprise where we can get it. If you could eliminate some of the outrider patrols on the road, I would greatly appreciate it.'

Grimbold is at the Ford of Isen.

You should inform Grimbold that the Dunlending patrols have been eliminated.
