'Well, what is this then? Trees against the Orcs? Are you sure it speaks not of a tree like the one that battered the Uruk outside our cave?

'You have fared well against their number so far...that much is clear. Perhaps you should seek out these hewers and see if you can discover any of these trees they mention. For my part, I would like to believe a tree is just a tree, but this forest teems with queer things.

'Bébba, Léodwald, and I are safe for now. We have enough to survive on, and the warmth of this fire soothes our ills. Worry not about following your charge, friend. Seek out aid in the forest, ${PLAYER}. I just hope you find it...for all of our sakes.'

The hewn glade stretches away from the roadway in central Balewood.

You have slain the hewers of which the note spoke, but there remains no sign of the moving trees it also mentioned. You should search the hewn glade and see if any Orcs have found such things.

Objectives

• Search the hewn glade for signs of Huorns or Ents

The fallen Ent and Orcs can be found in the middle of the hewn glade in central Balewood.

You have encountered the aftermath of a grim battle that occurred recently. You should examine the scene more closely to better understand what has happened.

Objectives

• Examine the fallen Ent and Orcs more closely

The slain Orc is lying on the ground near the felled Ent.

A slain Orc appears to have been making a run for its life before the Ent dealt its final blow. You should examine the Orc in hopes of better understanding what has occurred here.

Objectives

• Talk to Fallen Orc

The Ents can likely be found to the north-east of the hewn glade based on the trail of Orcs.

Other Ents appear to have escaped the grim scene you stumbled upon and travelled to the north. You should find and aid them before any other Orcs can discover their location.

Objectives

• Talk to Barallas
