'The Rangers brought back a mangled animal corpse from the wilds. It was struck with an arrow of Orkish design.

'The peculiar thing is not the arrow, but the state of the animal's body. The corpse is sickened and in a rapid state of decay. The Rangers say the ground surrounding the animal was devoid of flora.

'This is all very concerning. Perhaps it was unwise to pass Cair Andros by, after all. The forces from Mordor at Cair Andros must be coating their arrows with something most vile. Something not seen upon the Pelennor Battlefield (or else I would recognize it), and therefore, perhaps, concocted here in North Ithilien! It is not why Master Galathir sent me, or an inquiry he would approve of, but I must know what this substance is.

'I shall not accompany you to Cair Andros, as my lack of skill in combat would only slow you down - and endanger myself - but I beseech you, go and gather what you can of this poison, so we may study it.'
