'I spoke with Egwylf, and she recommended that we take the south-western road out of Wildermore into the Entwash Vale. Let us ride there at once, and hope for a thaw!'0/1
1 Speak toEgwylf (Show dialog)
'Wait a moment, Player. Did you feel that? For a moment I felt dread upon my heart, and sensed eyes upon our small party.
'The feeling has passed, but I do not trust that its absence means we are safe. Look from here and see if you spy anyone with evil intent.'0/1

3 Speak toBingo Boffin (Show dialog)
'You saw something high in the sky and far away? Well, I don't see anything. Do you think it might be Landroval? He was quite large, I think, even for one of the Great Eagles, but from this distance even he might appear small. The eyesight of Eagles is supposed to be incredible, isn't it? I do think he would descend and say hello to us, if he recognized us.
'Egwylf told me there is a town to the south-west, across the river. The town is called Oserley, and from there we can explore West Rohan. Time to go, Tanglemane! Let's go, W.W.! Lead the way, Player!'0/1

'This is a difficult time for the people of Oserley. You might do well to set your course for elsewhere. What do I mean?
'Everyone here is on edge. Orcs have been seen on the plains of Rohan, burning and pillaging. Even the bravest warriors are seized by invisible terrors, reduced to shadows of their former selves.
'If you take my advice and leave Oserley and its troubles behind, you would be wise to leave at nightfall. The blanket of darkness may not shield you from evil eyes, but if it helps to protect the people that live here, I urge you to make use of it.'(Show dialog)
'I just returned from my patrol, so I cannot tell you much of Oserley. But I can tell you that something is not right on the fields of Rohan. As I returned hither from the town of Stoke, a feeling of unease took hold of me. I saw nothing, but I would swear before my Thane that some creature watched me from afar.
'The stillness was broken by a terrible cry, bird-like and yet not so. I am glad to be back in Oserley, but the memory of that haunting cry stays with me. My blood freezes at the thought of it.
'It may have been nothing, but beware! We would all do well to remain alert when such evils are abroad in the Mark!'0/1

'I agree with Éoric. We should not stay here. Let us leave beneath cover of darkness, and find a less dangerous place for Bingo to continue his journey. Speak to me when you are both ready, and we will leave Oserley by a goat-track or hidden foot-path. If we were spied upon as we descended from Wildermore, it would be best for us to slip the notice of any pursuers.'0/1
'We survived the attack of that terrible creature, and I am certain that Bingo did as well. He is fortunate that Tanglemane had his pony-wits about him!
'We will find them, Player, have no fear of that! We will find Bingo, and then I will bid the two of you farewell. What has befallen the kingdom I love, that such frightening apparitions can haunt this land without opposition? I will not be able to journey with you for much longer. I will need to see to the hurts of my kingdom. But first we will find our friends.'
After you complete this quest, Bert Bartleby will arrive near the east gate of Woodhurst, in the Stonedeans of West Rohan.
