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

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.

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

bottom of the
quarry, filled with spiders.)

famed club of Bandobras 'Bullroarer' Took. Wilcome has asked you to
take the skull to Brombard Foxtail.

north-east of Michel Delving.

should retrieve the club, if it was deemed important to keep the two
items together.
2. Talk to Halros

end of the stone wall.
Believing that Bullroarer's club will enable him to scare the goblins

Greenfields. Somewhere in the camp is the entrance to the cave where
Primstone went.

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.
