The Ranger's Trail

After a journey of many miles, you have come at last to the town of Archet. Aragorn was recently seen travelling in the vicinity of this sleepy town.

Description
Stage 1

'I must say, you are a tall one! From where have you come and what are you called? ${PLAYER}? That is quite an unusual name. What business brings you to Archet? We have our own share of troubles, and have little need for outsiders to bring theirs.'

You tell the woman that you have travelled from afar seeking the Ranger Aragorn. She thinks for a moment, and then shakes her head.

'He was here, it is true, but he has gone. He left just before the Blackwold brigands launched their attack on our town, reducing it to this state. We could have used him in the defence. To speak the truth, we could have used you as well, had you arrived a little earlier. You look to be a strong one.

'I do not know where the Ranger has gone now, but Jon Brackenbrook might know. He has assumed command of the rebuilding process, now that his father has perished. You will find him in front of the wreckage of the tavern, I imagine. I saw him there earlier.'

Jon Brackenbrook is in front of the wreckage of the Mad Badger Tavern, in the burned village of Archet.

Letty Foxtail has told you to speak to Jon Brackenbrook about the whereabouts of Aragorn, who left the town of Archet shortly before it was attacked by the Blackwold brigands. Jon is in charge of rebuilding the town now that his father has died.
