In the wake of Voskor's death and the White Hand's defeat by the Ents, a moment of peace has returned to the Balewood along with the hope that the Byre Tor refugees may finally rejoin their fellows.
'You have done much to aid the Ents, Player... hoom. Yet, we must never forget the cost of these times and what Núrzum has taken from us. The monster's corruption may as well have slain Duskleaf the day he came to this forest. When you came upon him, his mind had been stripped bare and his fury over the forest's fate consumed him.
'You and the Men of these lands cannot be blinded by Núrzum's foul influence -- he must be put to an end, for such a creature stands in stark defiance of all that is good and natural in this realm.
'As with the others, you have my thanks for freeing us from the Orcs and their leader, but the greatest threat to us all still lurks beyond this wood. Go with haste, little one. Hom. Perhaps when Núrzum falls, you will find us here again.'1/1
2 Speak toMossbeard (Show dialog)
'You are a very strange ${RACE}, my friend. Hoom. To be reunited with the others and to have solved some mysteries of this destruction has brought me some measure of hope for what the future brings.
'Núrzum must be stopped. The others will not follow me in this, but you must see him slain and the stone destroyed. Barallas knows well of what might be used in his defeat now, but I will leave such explanations to him.
'Know this, little one. You have shaped the lands of Men and Ents for years to come through your actions, and as strange fellows as we may be, I would be glad to look upon you again. May your journey bode well, my friend.'1/1
3 Speak toBarallas (Show dialog)
'I see you have spoken to the others, Player. They seem upset to see you leave, as am I. There is... however, the matter of Núrzum.
'As you may recall when we first met, I told you that Strongroot spoke of a horn... a horn that greatly frightened the Huorns of these woods. As Núrzum is both giant and Huorn, so may he find himself torn asunder, both in mind and body, by the blaring of such a horn. I cannot be certain if this will bode true for him, but stranger things I have seen in these past days.
'Tell the Men of these lands, and perhaps they, out of all of us, can finally stand against him. Go, my friend. Return to the Men you found lost in these woods. We shall hold back the Wood-trolls long enough for them to escape. May our paths cross in brighter days, Player.'1/1
4 Speak toHúna (Show dialog)
'Goodness, it is you! We thought the worst when we had not seen you for so long, but what has happened? What have you learned?'
You tell Húna and the others of your adventures with the Ents and the origins of Núrzum.
'The monster may be defeated after all... I never thought we could see the day. Now then, you said that the trees themselves would hold back the Wood-trolls for us?
'I have other business for you... but the rest of you, pack your belongings as swiftly as you are able! We make for Forlaw as soon as we are ready!'1/1
