Guide to Combe quests
By Darkgolem
Combe is a small town located to the northwest of Bree, north of the
Midgewater Marshes and south of Archet. To the east of Combe lies
the Chetwood. Combe is a logging community, with a logging camp
found to the east of the town, between it and Chetwood. Combe's
difficulties lie with the inhabitants of the Chetwood. The
Chetwood has been inhabited by the Blackwold bandits, driven from
Staddle and forming a new base of operations. Farmers in the area
have been driven from their homes, and the wood is wild with wolves,
spiders and the marauders.
Quests here are almost exclusively relating to the Blackwolds and the
Chetwood. However, there are some quests which direct one to the
Midgewater Marshes to the south. The most dangerous of the areas
in the wood and the marshes which have quests from Combe are found
along the north edge and far eastern edge of the Chetwood. Here
are the bastions of the Blackwolds and they are strong here. Most
frighteningly of all, two wargs are found in these regions. These
are level 15 elite monsters, and more than a match for a small group of
unprepared adventurers in this area.
