Concerned that the defences of Hultvís are still weakened, Ríkmar hopes to learn why shipments of lumber from the small forester's village of Tríubad have stalled.

'I do not know you, traveller, but you would be wise to turn back. The Thyrsir... they have returned!'
You note Clothar's concern, and you then ask about the nature of the Thyrsir.
'They were wood-demons of legend, or so I thought! It is said the Elves long ago drove them from the forest, but how have they now come to be here in the vales? A shadow must still dwell in the forest! My cousin, Vilibald, and I only narrowly escaped the Thyrsir at Tríubad, but now... we have few hides and even less lumber left to bring to the chieftain.'
Clothar pauses and lets out a deep sigh.
'A great tree-demon followed in the wake of the Thyrsir, and though I tried to hew it, it wandered away with my axe still embedded in its trunk! That is the axe of my father and of my father's father, and now I have failed them and it is kept by a demon!
'But... if you do not fear the Thyrsir as we do, perhaps you could reclaim what was lost at Tríubad! Would you do this for me?'0/1

6 Speak toRíkmar (Show dialog)
'What was keeping the woodsmen of Tríubad, Player? Did they meet with some trouble?'
You tell Ríkmar of the Thyrsir, known to you and the Elves of Eryn Lasgalen as the Taurogrim, and of the misadventure that befell the woodsmen before you aided them. You explain that Clothar and Vilibald will soon deliver a number of hides and planks of lumber to Hultvís.
'While I am concerned that the wood-demons have returned to the forest, I'm pleased that Hultvís will soon be better defended. When Clothar and Vilibald return, I will set my people to the task of repairing the fences and other damage the Orcs caused during the war.
'You are a brave ${CLASS}, and we are fortunate to have you here with us in Hultvís... if only for a time.'0/1
