'This is madness! Orcs ravage our walls, burn our homes, and prepare to lay siege to the city, and our Reeve does nothing!

'Ah, I must beg your pardon, stranger. I am frustrated by the apparent inaction of Reeve Ingbert, but forsooth, Théoden King is to blame. The king has declared that we are not to hunt Orcs within our own borders, and so the Orcs hunt us.

'Many here have lost their homes and all they own, and others fear the same will happen to them. Perhaps you could go to the people of Eaworth and reassure them that our city will stand strong?'

Botulf stands near the road leading from the Mead Hall of Eaworth to the northern part of the city.

You should let Botulf know that you have brought reassuring words to the people of Eaworth.
