Dales of the Shire
Guide to Woodhall, Bamfurlong
and Stock Quests
By Darkgolem
Woodhall, Stock and Bamfurlong are three communities found in the
eastern Shire, near the edge of the Brandywine river. Isolated
from other parts of the Shire, these communities are more independent
than other Shire communities, but still need assistance from outsiders
upon occasion. In particular, recently these communities have
suffered from a group of Bandits who have inhabited the hills in the
southeastern

These bandits have kidnapped, stolen and overall been a threat to the
inhabitants of these communities.
There are several quests which lead to the hills south of Woodhall, and
all involve dealing with the bandits here. One other quest stands
out, this being "The Warg of Budgeford" which is the cumulation of the
dealings with the wolves who have been found near Budgeford. All
the quests here are fun and interesting.
Bamfurlong and Stock Quests
Boffin
Missing Waggon (requires
href="http://lotro.tentonhammer.com/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&ceid=470">Longo's
Leaf Waggon)
Boffin, who oversees the
leaf-waggons that come through Woodhall, mentioned that one of Longo
Burrow's waggons did go missing a while ago and thinks that perhaps it
is related to the disappearance of Gerebert Took.
for Longo's Waggon
Longo's waggon may be at the Stock Road clearing due west of Woodhall,
by the Wellbridge.
Rollo Boffin did not have any information specifically about Gerebert
Took, but now wonders if Gerebert's disappearance and the disappearance
of Longo Burrow's waggon are somehow connected. He has asked you to go
search a clearing just off the Stock Road for any sign of the missing
waggon.
(Author's note: The Wagon is located at 33.3S, 67.5W.)
Farm (requires Longo's Missing Waggon)
Burrow, Longo's father. He had a farmstead in the south, but Longo
abandoned it when his father died. Rollo is curious if Longo is using
it again for some other purpose.
Odo Burrow's old leaf-farm is south of the clearing where you found the
missing waggon.
When you found Longo's missing waggon, there was no sign of Gerebert
Took, but the leaf had been moved southwards. Rollo Boffin suggested
you search boxes and crates at Odo Burrow's old farm for some sign of
Gerebert. He warned you to bring friends, for it might be dangerous.
(Author's note: There is a caged wagon in the encampment near Woodhall,
Gerebert is in it)
2. Defend Gerebert Took
Odo Burrow's old leaf-farm is south of the clearing where you found the
missing waggon.
When you found Longo's missing waggon, there was no sign of Gerebert
Took, but the leaf had been moved southwards. Rollo Boffin suggested
you search boxes and crates at Odo Burrow's old farm for some sign of
Gerebert. He warned you to bring friends, for it might be dangerous.
(Author's note: A single friend should be enough for this quest.)

mail satchel from getting wet!
(Author's note: Bolger is found at 31.3S, 65.4W, in the east portion of
Budgeford. You have just enough time to run it and avoid nosey
hobbits, but you cannot afford to delay at all. The waterlogged
ford crossing to Budgeford is not too deep, and will not fail the
quest.)

customers.

friend.)
