The Road to Bree-Town

Guide to Adso's Camp Quests

By Darkgolem



Adso Haybank is a rather incompetent but well meaning hobbit attempting
to build a hunting camp about halfway between Bree-Town and the
Brandywine River.  Unfortunately for Adso, he has hired
incompetent woodsmen to provide food and supplies for his camp, and he
is beset with the depredations of bandits, wild animals, and growing
debt.  Needless to say, this is the perfect mix for a well-meaning
adventurer to step in and lend a hand.



Most of the quests found here are appropriate for adventurers with
levels in the low teens.  The Old Forest is found directly south
of the camp, and to the north are farms, bandits, and wild animals to
help provide the items needed by Adso for his quest.  In addition,
an adventurer will have the opportunity to prevent the depredations of
the bandits who are threatening Adso's venture.

the Spring:



The entrance to the Old Forest is to the south of Adso's camp. The
spring lies westward within the Forest.



Adso Haybank has asked you to fetch water from the spring his hunters
found. He warned you to take friends to protect you from the dangers of
the Old Forest.



(Author's note:  The
Spring is located at 31.1S, 59.4W  You
might take a few tries to get out of the
forest.  You cannot fight, hide or swim while carrying the bucket
that Goldenberry gives you.)

Ferny at the arranged meeting place after nightfall.

Haybank has asked you to hunt some boars and gather their meat to repay
Barliman Butterbur.



(Author's note: Barliman is

western Bree-Town, in the Prancing Pony inn).

There are wolves in the Old Forest.



Roger Hawkling has asked you to help repel the threat of wolves in the
area, bringing him five pelts as evidence of your work.



(Author's note: The wolf hides of the
old forest are hard to get. 
The forest is full of dangerous creatures.  Avoid approaching or
fighting the living tree roots found here)

be found in the Old Forest. Ham Rushlight is in Staddle, east and south
of Adso's camp, and due south of Combe.



Adso borrowed some hides from Ham Rushlight in Staddle to make some
ramshackle stables. Now he has asked for your help collecting hides

Wild Mushrooms (20)

Avoid Killing Rats

Avoid Killing Slugs



Wild mushrooms can be found along the eastern banks of the Brandywine
River, north of Bucklebury.



Adso Haybank has asked you to gather wild mushrooms from Buckland, so
that he may present them to Rosa Proudfoot as a gift. However, he
warned you to avoid killing any rats or slugs you may find along the
riverbanks, since their smell might taint the mushrooms.

the Accursed Fell Spirit (15)



There is a southward pass into the Barrow-downs, east of Adso's Camp.
Othrongroth, the Great Barrow, is near the southern end of the
Barrow-downs. The fell spirits can be found within Othrongroth behind a
door displaying a skull.



As one last favour before leaving Middle-earth, Aradia and her
companions would like to help cleanse the Shadow of Angmar from the
Barrow-downs. She has asked you to enter Othrongroth and send the fell
spirits which dwell there back to their master.



(Author's note: The Great
Barrow is found at 33.8S 55.8W.  This is
a very hard quest, and you should bring a full, well balanced
fellowship of at least level 22 to complete.)
