Adventure by the Brandywine
Buckland Quest Guide
By Darkgolem
Located in Bree, on the Brandywine river, Buckland is the last major
hobbit-only settlement before the lands of men. Home of the long
established Brandybuck family, Buckland's residents live in constant
threat from the dark and unsettling Old Forest. In the eaves of
the forest, the hobbits of Buckland prosper, even entering the forest
for hunting and wood gathering. Not everything goes well in
Buckland though, and an adventurer can find many in need of help here.
The Old Forest is the root of most of the troubles in Buckland.
The Old Forest is full of wolves, spiders, bears and even forest
worms. There are ancient trees there which are hostile to all of
the free people, and you can expect to have conflicts with them if you
enter the forest. Of note, the grasping roots found in the forest
are sometimes (and sometimes not) attached to the hostile huorns of
this forest. An adventurer should avoid conflict with the roots
unless they are prepared to fight these very hard hitting and dangerous
trees.

Brockhouse
Woodcutter's Tale
(Cricket Hollow)
wood-cutter has sprained his
ankle and is unable to finish his chores for the day. He swears that
the Old Forest intentionally tripped him.
Seasoned Lumber (1)
Collect Savory Mushrooms (8)
Collect a Bucket of Maple Sap (1)
The mushrooms can be found in the western part of Old Forest, between
the Bonfire Glade and Bald Hill. The wood can be collected from the
wood-cutter's seasoning pile east of the Bonfire Glade and a little
south. The sap can be collected from the old maple growing on Bald
Hill, east of the Bonfire Glade.
Because Toly Brockhouse, the wood-cutter, has sprained his ankle, he
has asked you to gather mushrooms, wood, and maple sap for him.
(Author's note: The Sap is
found at 31.7S, 59.1W on top of bald
hill. The
Mushrooms are found all over, and
the seasons lumber at 32.8S, 60.0W.)

the fact that everything you brought him was spoiled. This, as well as
the stirring of the forest creatures has upset him.
Brandybuck: Gillemin Brandybuck's camp is a distance to the
south-east in the Old Forest, beyond Old Muddyfoot's Hill.
Toly Brockhouse asked you to seek the counsel of an old forester named
Gillemin Brandybuck
(Author's note: Gillemin is
found at 33.8S, 59.3W
along the Withywindle.)
Gillemin Brandybuck's old camp lies to the south-east, but the way is
winding. Head south across the water, west into the woods, then look
for a path that works its way east and south.
You found the forester, but Gillemin's news is worse than Toly probably
expects. Gillemin reports running into a glade full of monstrous
spiders, which chased him away. He dropped his pack at his old campsite
and has asked you to retrieve it.
(Author's note: Toly's Pack is
found at 35.4S, 58.4W)
3. Bring the pack to Gillemin Brandybuck:
Gillemin Brandybuck is encamped to the north-west, south-east of Old
Muddyfoot's Hill.
You have recovered Gillemin's pack as he requested. Now you should
return to him.
