'What I am about to ask you, ${PLAYER}, is something that pains me to do.

'The township of Herne could be in danger. Recently, many folks who are not known in the town have been arriving from other areas, likely because of the encroaching Men and Uruks from the south.

'The mayor and other townsfolk are concerned that there might be a certain element trying to infiltrate the town. Now, it is possible that this is just a bit of alarmist reaction, but we cannot be too sure.

'What we are asking is that you approach any of these newcomers and determine their intentions in the town. Can you help?'

You have discovered that there are nefarious elements mixing in with other refugees making their way to Herne. You must return to the mission giver and tell them of this development.
