'You stand before the esteemed Caddabrand, renowned tracker, game hunter, and personal scout to Reeve Athelward. I would like to offer you a rare and wonderful opportunity: the chance to become my apprentice! Working for Athelward awards much privilege and prestige...something a modest ${RACE} such as yourself would be hard pressed to find elsewhere. Prove your abilities to me, and there will be profit in this for us all.

'Let us begin with a simple task for an aspiring tracker. The hides of the Norcrofts brown bears can be sold to the nearby merchants for a meaningful sum, but convincing a bear to part with his hide is not without considerable danger. Gather a supply of bear hides and prove that you are more than a mere novice at hunting.'

Caddabrand waits at his encampment, west and south of the river crossing.

You have collected the brown bear-hides sought by the scout Caddabrand.
