'A festival is always a great time for a drink. Oh! That reminds me, I have a request of you.

'I brewed up a special batch of my annual festival ale recently, but I'm down to only a few pints left. Would you take this pint of ale to my friend Roger Hazeltwig in Bree? He usually stops by for a taste, but he hasn't been able to visit in quite some time.

'Give him my regards... and a merry festival to you both!'
