'Hail, friend.

'I don't believe we spoke the last time you were in the Vale, but I remember your face. I am Berthalend, a simple craftsman of Gondor. And you are?'

You introduce yourself and inform Berthalend that you are one of King Elessar's emissaries.

'Ah, I did not realize you worked in service of the King! Might I ask a small favour of you? You see, some of the children in Lancrath have taken to daring each other to do this and that, and it is usually harmless fun. However, I overheard one of the older girls, Randis, talking about the Stone of Erech. You have been to the Vale before, ${PLAYER}, so surely you know what lurks on the Hill of Erech. Such a dare could lead them into grave danger!
