'Hafoc, the captain of Etheburg before me, went missing several months ago...I was but a convenient replacement for him. Hafoc seemed to welcome this assignment, and he was one of the few that had come here at Wormtongue's orders not out of discipline.

'I wonder now if Hafoc has betrayed his people and joined these brigands? Would you go to Helstor and confront this captain? I expect he would be somewhere near their relic-stores.'
