'Go on into the house. Gerebert is there waiting for you. You simply must hear his tale. You won't believe it!'1/1
1 Speak toGerebert Took (Show dialog)
'Oh! Hullo again! I'm overjoyed to see you, and really must tell you my tale. That waggon I hid aboard stopped over there on the Stock road, and I sneaked off. Some Big Men came and carried the pipe-weed away, so I followed them. Near old Odo's barn, they put the pipe-weed on another waggon, and I sneaked onto that one too. What a mistake! That one travelled for days and days until we finally arrived at some horrible tower!
'I slipped off the waggon before they unloaded it at the gates to the tower, then hid again. Soon, a terrible, robed man came. Some of the ruffians called him Sharkey. His voice was so frightening! Even the Big Folk seemed scared of him. He ordered them to return here, so I hid on the waggon once more.
'The true irony is that once we got back to the Shire, those men spotted me and locked me up! Quite a tale isn't it? While those men were scary, I think that robed man is more trouble. I think the Thain should know about this. Would you mind telling him? I'm done with travelling for quite a while!'1/1
2 Speak toThain Paladin Took II (Show dialog)
'That is quite a tale you spin, Player -- Big Folk in the Shire and a robed fellow with a commanding voice? These are strange days indeed!
'I think I shall keep an eye on that Longo Burrow and his friends among the Big Folk. Likely we could drive them out, but I would like to watch them for a while and perhaps learn more of this Sharkey that Gerebert saw.
'Perhaps in the future I will have need of you again, but for now, you have my thanks and no other wishes!'1/1
