'We have to get to the bottom of this business, ${PLAYER}, and find a way to combat this curse before it becomes too late! What we need is a clue, or better yet, more than one!'

Bingo snaps his fingers.

'Maybe we have one! You said that the writing on the sign you found had been crossed out with red paint, and someone had written \qEerie Acres?\q What words did this mysterious vandal seek to replace? \qCleary's Acres,\q you said? Well, that is one place to start. We need to find out anything we can about a hobbit named Cleary, and perhaps we will learn what happened to his homestead for it to be known as Eerie Acres!

'It may be a long shot, but there might be some record of Cleary's Acres at the Town Hole in Michel Delving. Consult with Mayor Whitfoot and you might learn something useful! I will stay here and keep an eye out for anything suspicious! Good luck to us both, ${PLAYER}!'
