NOTE: This quest will be removed from your quest log when the current festival ends.
'Nay, don't listen to me. There is no reason for me to take offence. Perhaps our little dirty-footed, cheeky, gap-toothed guest is correct. Perhaps we Elves have something to learn from these hobbits.
'They must be truly gifted farmers to have grown so fat. Yes -- do go to the Shire. Learn what you can from the dumplings -- I mean, halflings -- on how to best get rid of shrews.'1/1
2.1) Speak toNibs Cotton (Show dialog)
'You want to know how we keep shrews away from our fields? It's very simple! My cat here, Waldy, is the finest shrew-hunter in all the Shire. Watch what he can do!'1/1
2.2) Speak toWald Sandson (Show dialog)
'Hello there! Shrews? Yes, we've been known to see a shrew or two. I'll tell you the secret to getting rid of them...talk VERY LOUDLY about winter being just around the corner.
'Shrews hibernate in winter, you see. Just talk about how cold it's getting, and how it's supposed to snow tomorrow. You'll see. They'll be running for their warm, cozy burrows in no time!'1/1
2.3) Speak toGaffer Gamgee (Show dialog)
'If you're wanting advice on gardening, you've come to the right hobbit. Shrews are nasty critters, determined to ruin my work. There are two ways to deal with them. Either trap them, or chuck an apple at them! Aim for the head if you decide to chuck an apple. I suppose stomping on them would work too, if you're quick.'1/1
3 Speak toMaengamiel (Show dialog)
Maengamiel listens keenly as you tell the tale of your journey in the Shire.
'That sounded like a productive venture, Player. Sleeping cats, lies about the season...but at least one hobbit resorts to similar methods to those we use here. I believe an apple hurled at the unruly beasts would give me a great sense of satisfaction.
'Know-it-all hobbits don't seem to know so much after all.'1/1
