Among Spiders and Goblins

Guide to Scary and
Brockenborings Quests

by Darkgolem



The most dangerous quests in the Shire are found in Brockenborings and
Scary.  Scary is having serious problems with spiders, having
burst from an underground complex opened by Hobbit's cutting stone from
the towns Quarry.  Brockenborings has it's own problems, the many
goblins threatening the northern portion of the href="http://lotro.tentonhammer.com/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&ceid=113#Shire">Shire
near the Greenfields.  Some of the more difficult quests of the
epic prologue are found here in the Shire too, including rescuing a
(rather foolish) shirriff from the clutches of a vile goblin chieftain.



There are also some more mundane quests, such as the href="http://lotro.tentonhammer.com/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&ceid=473">pie
and postal quests, found in these towns, and funny quests such as
rescuing a errant sheep.  However, like all the Shire quests, the
quests here are fun, not too long, and worth taking the time to do them.

for his head. She has asked you to show the "goblin-tooth" to Bounder

orders from a mysterious figure who is not a goblin. He has asked you
to warn Bounder Primstone of this threat at once.



2. Talk to Wilcome Tunnelly





Bounder Primstone is unhappy enough with the discovery of the goblins,
but to add to his troubles, he also heard that a skull was uncovered at
the quarry in Scary and is worried about talk of it being Golfimbul's

out what is going on from Wilcome Tunnelly.

Wilcome Tunnelly
The Quarry in Scary (requires
Troubles to Come)
Scary
As if the presence of goblins
north of Brockenborings is not enough, workers at the quarry in Scary,
including the once doubtful Wilcome Tunnelly, believe they have
unearthed Golfimbul's head in the cave there.
1. Collect the Chipped Skull



The skull is in a cave at the bottom of the quarry.



Workers in the quarry at Scary uncovered a skull in the cave there, and
many believe it could be the reason that spiders have overrun the
quarry. Wilcome Tunnelly has asked you to bring the skull up to the
surface so he can have a look at it.



(Author's note: The Skull is found all the way inside th cavern at the
bottom of the
quarry, filled with spiders.)



2.Bring  Golfimbul's Skull to Brombard Foxtail



Brombard Foxtail is the keeper of the Mathom-house at Michel Delving,
far to the south-west of Scary.



You recovered the skull from the quarry cave, but Wilcome Tunnelly
thinks it will be safest for all if it is kept in the same place as the
famed club of Bandobras 'Bullroarer' Took. Wilcome has asked you to
take the skull to Brombard Foxtail.

Bounder Primstone is at the Watch-house in Brockenborings, far to the
north-east of Michel Delving.



You brought the old skull from the Scary quarry to the Mathom-house in
Michel Delving, only to discover that Keeper Foxtail has lent
Bullroarer's Club to Bounder Primstone. Brombard Foxtail suggested you
should retrieve the club, if it was deemed important to keep the two
items together.



2. Talk to Halros



Ranger Halros camps on the Greenfields, east of Brockenborings, at the
end of the stone wall.



Believing that Bullroarer's club will enable him to scare the goblins
out of the Shire, Bounder Primstone is preparing to journey to the
goblin encampment which you found. He told you not to come with him,
but to tell Halros that Primstone will soon have dealt with the goblins.

Beneath the Greenfields
(requires

Greenfields (26.7S, 67.0W) Bounder Primstone has gone to
the goblin encampment with Bullroarer's club, thinking to drive the
goblins from the Shire, but Halros fears he has made a terrible mistake.
Enter Lubach's cave and rescue
Bounder Primstone



The main goblin encampment is north-west of Halros's camp in the
Greenfields. Somewhere in the camp is the entrance to the cave where
Primstone went.



After Halros learned that Bounder Primstone went to confront the
goblins alone, he asked you to journey deep into the goblin encampment
to rescue the hobbit. In the meantime, Halros will himself seek out
more of his kindred to aid you.



(Author's note: The cave entrance is at 24.7S, 69.5W. This quest can be
soloed, you run into goblins in very small groups, but you should be
careful.)
