'I just had the strangest conversation, ${PLAYER}. I was speaking with a man in the village, and he asked what brought me out of the Gloomglens. Well, I have never heard of a place called the Gloomglens, and I have certainly never been there before! I told him so, and do you know what he said to me? He said that I must have sustained a knock on the head and forgotten!

'This hit a little close to home, to tell you the truth. After my water-logged journey through the caverns beneath the Misty Mountains, I am not altogether happy being reminded of such forgetfulness! I am quite sure I have never been to the Gloomglens!

'But... do you think there may be some other hobbits there? I do believe we should investigate and see for ourselves!'

You have found a settlement of hobbits in the Gloomglens.
