'Greetings to you, ${CLASS}. My name is Cúfaron, and I am a hunter of great skill. Ask anyone! I will not regale you with tales of my many accomplishments, but if you are not careful I fear my companions might!

'Isteron was always very impressed with my stories of the lands to the distant east. Great beasts and dangerous birds can be found there, and I have hunted them all! Rodwen might speak of my prowess in the south-lands. Do you know those mighty four-legged monstrosities, the great mûmakil?'

Cúfaron quickly shakes his head as you ask if he hunted one of those.

'Nay, not as such...but I saw one. In the distance, but still, you have not seen one, have you?'

The hunter regains his composure.

'There are a lot of vile dogs around the East Wall, and I do not think they are creatures of nature. The Rohirrim call them swert-hounds, and they seem to me to be quite evil. You should hunt them, as I plan to do. I think they could cause trouble for us if they get too near to our camp.'

Cúfaron is at Hestil's camp on Parth Galen.

You have defeated many swert-hounds and should now return to Cúfaron as he asked.
