'I have, and she has never been better! Her husband Oiva has returned! All thought him dead, but he lives still and has come back to the village! I was just going to spread the glad news!
'Pinja is no longer a widow, for her Oiva is alive!'0/1

'Do you think I would not know my own husband? Oiva was mine, and when the ice claimed him it was as if a piece of me was taken too. I do not know what thing has taken his shape and pretends to be him, but it is not my husband. It is not my Oiva.
'I clubbed it over the head and left it behind my home. You can see it if you like.'0/1

You never met Oiva, but this does appear to be a warrior of the Lossoth. As you study the still form, you feel a sharp pain behind your eyes and a throbbing in your head.0/1
'The spirit Hamaito was to blame for the deaths of our missing warriors, and he would have done injury to all of the Lossoth if he could. I am glad that you and Lothrandir aided me in casting him back to nothing.
'For the aid you rendered to me, I give to you Oiva's brooch. I do not need it to remember my husband. I deem that the evil with which it attracted Hamaito attached itself to him as he carried out his jest. It went with him into the far reaches when we cast him out.
'May Oiva's brooch of bone help you as you adventure, and render your aid on behalf of those who need it. Not all people are Lossoth, and will have more need of you than we!'0/1

'I should have known that Hamaito was clouding my mind, Player. In the dungeons of Isengard I resisted Saruman's torments, but there I knew of the Wizard's tricks. I knew to resist them! The corruption that affixed to the brooch in Mordor drew Hamaito to it, and he hid his lesser evil in that greater one, and was masked therein.
'That the corruption went with Hamaito when he was cast out is useful to us; in that way he did us a good turn! Perhaps that is the greatest jest of all.
'Farewell for now, my friend! Give my regards to Elrond in Rivendell, and I hope he is able to infuse the brooch with a force for Good, as Mithrandir believes. Until we meet again!'0/1
