As goblins continue to encroach upon Bâr Faroth, an unexpected ally emerges in the fight to drive them out of the Yondershire.
Upon receipt: While exploring Bâr Faroth, you have discovered the remains of a slain goblin outside the ruins of the old Hunters' Hall. It seems that few goblins have dared to draw too near to its doors, but it remains unclear why they have become so fearful of it.
You should enter the ruins of the Hunters' Hall and attempt to discover who has been acting against the goblins at Bâr Faroth.

4 Speak toAnthandir (Show dialog)
'I heard you coming, ${RACE}. If I did not deem you a friend, you would not stand before me.
'Tell me, did Halros send you? I will tell you the same thing I told the others he sent. It is not the place of the Dúnedain to intervene in the affairs of the halflings. Who are you and what business do you have in the Shire?'
You introduce yourself and inform Anthandir that many threats have come to the Yondershire.
'It is true that I have kept watch for many years and that the dangers facing the Shire have seldom grown so dire, but my duty is to protect these lands. Why now should I involve myself when the halflings act against their own? When lesser men come unbidden to these lands, seeking for stolen fortunes? Should not the halflings prove their own mettle?'
You tell Anthandir that the hobbits may face their own challenges, but the presence of the goblins poses a unique threat.
'Indeed, they have complicated my long vigil at Bâr Faroth. I have repelled them as best I can, but I fear I will soon have to seek new refuge.
'If you insist upon aiding me, I would ask that you set traps within Bâr Faroth and retrieve my caches. The goblins arrived so swiftly that I could not recover them before they built their encampment atop them. Here, I will mark your map.
'You have given me much to consider. Do as I have asked, and I will hear your words.'1/1
