'You have told me much of this strange man, ${PLAYER}, but most troubling is your description of his clothing.

'By your account, he bears a cloak that belonged to none but our captain, Faramir. If this man is Faramir, our cause is lost, and we should forge a new strategy to escape the city before dawn. However, if he is not - who would be so bold as to take up a mantle beyond his standing and elude the aid of his brethren?

'Search the southern ways of the city, on both shores of the Anduin, for his path would lead him either to the camps of the Haradrim or the ruins of the armoury across the Orkish bridge-rafts. Track him, and capture him if you must - for we must learn of his identity!'

Mablung can be found in the culverts of Osgiliath.

You have lost the trail of the mysterious Ranger, and should now report his elusiveness to Mablung.
