'${PLAYER}, it is clear that Saruman the White holds sway over the Dunlendings as well. I fear they intend to sweep through the Acres and fall upon Kingstead and Edoras. We must prepare to stand as a foil to that invasion.

'If you would, speak with the leaders in the city and learn what advice they would give. Captain Grimmar and Thane Ordlac are, of course, present here, but I would have you speak with Baldmund, the leader of the refugees from Torsbury, and Ordlac's captain Dudsig. Baldmund may be found at the inn in the north-east part of town, and Dudsig is at the Oserley encampment outside the north-east gate.'
