The dwarf Armund and his companions have entered the Limlight Gorge in the hope of reopening an old sawmill on the edge of Fangorn forest. Discounting the tales of monsters and walking trees, the dwarves have begun working on the sawmill, but recently most of Armund's companions seem to have mysteriously disappeared.
'Well, it seems that you have managed to gather up the two young ones...that is something anyway. If we can just find the other three now, we should be able to get this old mill up and running in no time!
'They know better than to get lost like this, but Gerfinn, Darfi, and Dolmund have all disappeared on me, as well!'1/1
'I cannot speak tactfully about it...I think my dear brother Armund may be mad.
'This venture with the sawmill was a risky one at best, and now that the very trees have turned upon us, it has gone as wrong as it can...but he will not hear anything about it!
'We have got to convince him to give up this venture, even if we have to go back to coal-mining, but I do not know if he will listen to reason....'1/1

'W...what!? Give up on the Sawmill? Flee from the gorge like a dog with its tail tucked between its legs?
'You may be right Player... Were it not for your help, my companions might still be wandering lost amongst the Gorge, and most of them have worked themselves into such a state that they could hardly fix a pail, much less this Sawmill. Maybe this expedition really is a waste of time...
'But wait, I have the answer! How could I have been so blind? We've had no ale here for weeks now! Our stock ran out on the way down here.
'How could any right-thinking Dwarf face the wide outdoors in this lonely gorge without a good stiffener each morn? No wonder they think the trees have been after them!
'Thank you for your help Player! I shall put in an order for several casks of ale up in Stangard this very day, and have these fellows right as rain in no time. You'll see!'1/1

'I fear the stress of our journey may have been too much for him, or perhaps he really is just such a fool. It matters not, really.
'There's nothing more you can do, Player. Armund is our problem to deal with now. Thank you for rescuing us, and leave my brother to me.
