Bestowal dialogue

'This empty belly of mine has made it quite impossible for me to concentrate on further documenting our stay in Mirkwood, <name>! I am glad that we were able to give Adolinda a momentary distraction from her curse, but the fact remains that her recipe for breakfast involved spider legs, and while I am powerless to do anything about the curse, it is within my power to refuse a breakfast of hairy spider legs! No spider legs for me, thank you! Yuck!

'I told Willem about my dissatisfaction and my hunger, and he ran off. Can you ask around the Inn and see if anyone knows what has become of him? I expect he has gone in search of second breakfast, and I would greatly appreciate your hastening him back here with it!'

Background

Bingo's stomach has made it quite impossible for the hobbit to concentrate of the further writing of his book, and he needs you to do something about the hungry situation.

Objective 1

• Find Willem Whisker somewhere within Mirkwood

Willem Whisker is somewhere within Mirkwood. If you ask around the Haunted Inn, and elsewhere within the forest, you may be able to learn where the lynx might have gone.

Bingo wants you to find Willem Whisker and send him back to the Haunted Inn, with breakfast if possible!

Haunted Inn:

Bingo Boffin: 'I told Willem about my dissatisfaction and my hunger, and he ran off. Can you ask around the Inn and see if anyone knows what has become of him? I expect he has gone in search of second breakfast, and I would greatly appreciate your hastening him back here with it!'

Adolinda: 'I do not think your lynx-friend is still within Audaghaim. He has gone elsewhere in the Greenwood.'

Prestadír: 'The lynx that follows your friend Bingo around did not stay in the Inn. I think he was searching for food, and went somewhere to the east.'

Cúcheron: 'I saw that lynx run to the east. He was moving with a great deal of haste.'

Ost Galadh:

Lomdognír: 'Yes, I saw your lynx! He ran right past us, but not before jumping onto this table and scattering papers everywhere!

'He did not stay. He ran east out of Ost Galadh.'

Agorin: 'I have seen this lynx you seek! He ran right past the three of us, heading east! He disturbed the papers on this table! I think he was looking for food of some sort, but nothing here satisfied him, and he ran through Ost Galadh after a brief search.'

Fuirgam: 'Oh, I have seen your lynx. He ran through here, disturbed the papers on this table, and continued on his way to the east. He is no longer in Ost Galadh.'

Thangúlhad:

Sharp-eyed Elf: 'I have just returned from Dol Guldur, <name>, and I saw something most peculiar. There was a lynx fighting Orcs just within the gate of Fennas Guldur, to the south-east. As I crept away, I saw the lynx making his way north up a slope just behind the wall.'

'If you are looking for this curious creature, you should go south-east to Fennas Guldur, and then climb the slope to the north once you are through the gate. If he is an enemy of the Orcs, he must be a friend to the Golden Host!'

Handelen: 'Willem Whisker? What sort of a name is that?'

'Rodelleth told me she saw a lynx running to the south-east, toward Fennas Guldur, but I did not see him myself.'

Rodelleth: 'I saw the lynx you seek. He was running at great speed to the south-east, in the direction of Fennas Guldur. Whether he passed through that gate and is now on the other side of the wall, I do not know.'

Along the road towards Dol Guldur:

Súlthel: 'I have just returned from Dol Guldur, <name>, and I saw something most peculiar. There was a lynx fighting Orcs just within the gate of Fennas Guldur, to the east. As I crept away, I saw the lynx making his way north up a slope just behind the wall.

'If you are looking for this curious creature, you should go east to Fennas Guldur, and then climb the slope to the north once you are through the gate. If he is an enemy of the Orcs, he must be a friend to the Golden Host!'

You see a familiar figure ahead of you: Willem Whisker!

Objective 2

• Collect the satchel Willem has found, and tell him to return to the Haunted Inn

Willem Whisker is within the outer wall of Dol Guldur, up a slope to the north of Fennas Guldur.

You have found Willem, and it seems that he has found a dirty satchel of some kind.

Willem Whisker: Willem Whisker stands by a dirty satchel that appears to have once been the property of an Orc. The lynx beams at you proudly, and you pick up the satchel.

You take a quick peek inside, and the contents make you laugh in spite of yourself. You resolve to bring it back to Bingo in the Haunted Inn.

You pick up the Orc-satchel, and Willem purrs contentedly

Collected the Orc-satchel

ORC-SATCHEL 'This satchel was once carried by a foul Orc. What disgusting inventory does it hold?'

Objective 3

• Return to Bingo in the Haunted Inn with the satchel Willem found

Bingo is in the Haunted Inn, located in the Dourstocks of Mirkwood.

You recovered an orc satchel found by Willem Whisker, and should bring it to Bingo.

Willem Whisker: Willem Whisker beams proudly at you. Perhaps the satchel contains something of use for Bingo after all?

Bingo Boffin: Bingo gingerly takes the orc satchel.

'What's that? W.W. found this satchel for me? How thoughtful! Does it contain food, do you think? The bag does seem to be rather worse for wear, but let's see... small trinkets... bent bits of metal... This is rather fuzzy...'

Bingo suddenly jumps backwards and drops the satchel onto the table. After a moment he begins to laugh.

'There are spider legs in there! Willem, did you think I was unhappy about how FEW spider legs <name> brought back? That was not it at all! Why does everyone want me to try these unpleasant things? Do you know something, <name>? I think I am ready to return to Lothlórien! I will meet you out in front of Caras Galadhon, and perhaps we can find some real food, for now my belly is quite complaining!'

Objective 4

• Talk to Bingo outside Caras Galadhon, in Lothlórien

Bingo wants to meet you outside the gate of Caras Galadhon, in Lothlórien.

Bingo has seen enough of Mirkwood, and has decided to travel with you back to Lothlórien.

Bingo Boffin: 'Do you know something, <name>? I think I am ready to return to Lothlórien! I will meet you out in front of Caras Galadhon, and perhaps we can find some real food, for now my belly is quite complaining!'

Bingo Boffin: 'We are back in more pleasant lands. It is something of a relief to leave Mirkwood behind us, but... well, I have been worrying about something.'

Bingo's cheerful expression is gone. He seems quite upset.

'It is this appetite of mine! We Boffins like to have as many meals as anyone, and I am no stranger to nipping off to the larder for a snack or two between meals. But this hunger is sharper, in a way, than any hunger I can remember! I got to thinking about what has gotten me this hungry, and I realized that it began around the time we crossed the river into Mirkwood.

'There is something unnatural about this! Is this a curse? You need to have done something bad to be cursed. Didn't Adolinda say something about a great evil in her past? Well, I was thinking about it, and while I wouldn't say I have done anything especially evil, I wasn't honest with Calengoth, was I? We used deception to get him to allow us across the river! Is my increasing hunger a curse for my poor behaviour?

'You have to go to Calengoth at the docks and apologize for my lies, <name>! I fear I will waste away from this curse if you do not!'

Objective 5

• Talk to Calengoth on the docks of Lothlórien

Calengoth is at the docks of Lothlórien, west of Imlad Lalaith.

Bingo believes that he has fallen prey to a curse causing him unnatural hunger pangs, and he wants you to apologize to Calengoth for the deception that enabled the hobbit to cross the river into Mirkwood.

Bingo Boffin: 'You have to go to Calengoth at the docks and apologize for my lies, <name>! I fear I will waste away from this curse if you do not!'

Calengoth: 'You have come back, I see. What did your friend think of the Golden Host's adventure in Mirkwood?'

You explain Bingo's deception, and give Calengoth the hobbit's sincere apologies. The Elf nods solemnly, but there is a smile on his lips.

'Bingo must have a low opinion of the intelligence of Elves if he believed I was truly fooled by his deception. I was not. But it takes a large heart to admit such a thing, and my refusal to bear him across the river was borne not of malice but of concern for his safety. I accept his apology.

'I may also have the solution for his hunger. Give him this small packet of lembas, along with my well-wishes. I think the one will cure his hunger and the other may assuage his guilt, for I imagine the latter is the truest source of his curse, and once forgiven I expect he will be fine. That is my guess!'

Collected the packet of lembas

PACKET OF LEMBAS 'This small packet contains lembas, and is quite a valuable gift.'

Objective 6

Bring the packet of lembas to Bingo outside Caras Galadhon, in Lothlórien

Bingo is outside the gate of Caras Galadhon, in Lothlórien.

Calengoth gave you a small packet of lembas to give to Bingo, and also forgave the hobbit for his deception.

Calengoth: 'Bingo must have a low opinion of the intelligence of Elves if he believed I was truly fooled by his deception. I was not. But it takes a large heart to admit such a thing, and my refusal to bear him across the river was borne not of malice but of concern for his safety. I accept his apology.

'I may also have the solution for his hunger. Give him this small packet of lembas, along with my well-wishes. I think the one will cure his hunger and the other may assuage his guilt, for I imagine the latter is the truest source of his curse, and once forgiven I expect he will be fine. That is my guess!'

Bingo Boffin: 'Calengoth accepted my apology? Lovely, lovely! I am glad to hear it! And what is this? Lembas? How interesting. It looks to be a type of cake, if a little plain-looking. It is a gift from Calengoth?'

Bingo takes a small bite and nibbles at it for a moment.

'Ah! I did not expect it to be so delicious! And how filling! My, this lembas has quite cured my curse, if such it was! It is good to have a full belly, for now I am ready to travel down the Great River in search of further adventures!'

Next week: 'The Banks of the Great River (Recommended Level: 70)

Previously on The Ballad of Bingo Boffin:

• In the first quest, Bingo is planning a party because he is bored. He sends players out to fetch food and check the Great Smials library for a good cookbook. In said book, he finds a map of Eriador which awakens his adventurous spirit and he decides he wants to see the places the map depicts with his own eyes.
• In the second quest, Bingo wants to prepare for his journey and train his mind and body. He sends players to ask Gaffer Gamgee for adventuring advice, but gets only some apples in return. Bingo cannot stand apples, so he wants players to drop them at the Bird and Baby Inn, which leads to the local gossip finding out that he is planning on leaving. Afterwards, he tries (and fails) to climb the Stocktower, then goes to catch his breath (and some fine ale) in the nearby Golden Perch.
• In the third quest, Bingo attempts to learn how to swim, on the western shore of the Brandywine. He ends up splashing around in shallow water for some time, claiming success afterwards.
• In the fourth quest, Bingo wants to return several items he borrowed from his neighbors before he leaves the Shire. One of them, Myrtle Boggs, has written a petition in order to keep Bingo from leaving (in fact, she wants him locked up so he can't go). His response is to give her some flowers which makes her blush.
• In the fifth quest, Bingo officially starts his journey, but along the road to Budgeford, he realizes that he forgot two important items back at his hobbit-hole: his walking-stick as well as one of his satchels which contains his writing utensils. Bingo declares he wants to keep a record of his adventure as it unfolds, and sends his companion to run back to Boffin Manor to fetch the two items he left behind.
• In the sixth quest, Bingo travels to Buckland to visit his cousin, Prisca Boffin. Her seven children are spread out all over Buckland and players are sent out to find them to gather at their mother's house to see their cousin from Michel Delving.
• In the seventh quest, Bingo sets out to find the last of Prisca's children, Marigold, who has gone adventuring in the Old Forest. After meeting up with her, they journey to the house of her new friend, Tom Bombadil.
• In the eight quest, Bingo has problems with his written report about his adventure because he cannot aptly describe Tom Bombadil. He asks players to find out more about Tom, which leads to some amusing interactions with the yellow-booted fellow.
• In the ninth quest, Bingo has to go to the Barrow-downs in order to find lost pages of his manuscript that were dropped by absent-minded Tom Bombadil. Afterwards, he and Marigold return to Newbury.
• In the tenth quest, Bingo sets out from Buckland towards Bree, travelling along the Great East Road. Upon reaching the West Gate of the town, he makes a new friend - Milo Goodbody - who invites him to the Prancing Pony. Afterwards, Bingo leaves Bree, fearing he won't get far if he continues with the tavern revelries, and makes his way to the Forsaken Inn.
• In the eleventh quest, Bingo makes the acquaintance of Theodore Gorse, a self-proclaimed Master Treasure Hunter, and wants to become his apprentice. After solving a riddle for Theodore (which leads to another riddle), he agrees to teach Bingo some of his skills.
• In the twelfth quest, Bingo sends players out to solve the second riddle, leading to yet another cryptic message consisting of just three words: 'The End Now'. Bingo is not happy about this.
• In the thirteenth quest, Bingo uncovers the meaning of the second crypting message, which had hidden letters on it, and after travelling to Ost Guruth, it is revealed that Haley Meadowsweet is the true Master Treasure Seeker who has been leaving behind the clues and riddles found in the strongboxes.
• In the fourteenth quest, Bingo moves onwards across the Last Bridge, into the Trollshaws, where he stops for the night just north of the road. While he sleeps, his companion stands guard, fending off rats, crawlers, wights, and even trolls.
• In the fifteenth quest, Bingo makes the acquaintance of Willem Whisker, a lynx he encounters and frees from a trap at the Stone-trolls' Glade. Along with his new companion, he travels to the Gates of Imladris, the entrance to the hidden valley of Rivendell.
• In the sixteenth quest, Bingo meets Bilbo Baggins, the famed adventurer in the Hall of Fire who invites him to a sight-seeing tour of Rivendell. Afterwards, Bingo finds out that the map that started his journey was drawn and left behind by Bilbo for adventurous hobbits to find.
• In the seventeenth quest, Bingo gives Bilbo his manuscript to read, which contains the record of his adventures. When Bilbo remarks that he likes the description of the Shire the most, Bingo is shocked and deduces, that his journal might be too boring, prompting him to send players to defeat creatures in the Trollshaws to give him inspiration for some more exciting descriptions.
• In the eighteenth quest, Bingo travels north into the Misty Mountains in a further attempt to experience tales of adventure and excitement to keep his future readers from being bored. In the Western Bruinen Source area, the company finds an injured dwarf and treats his wounds with herbs discovered by the lynx Willem Whisker.
• In the nineteenth quest, Bingo learns from Spalvi, the dwarf he helped, that he was ambushed by the Corcur nomads from Helegrod. Willing to lend his aid, he follows Spalvi there, only to be captured by the dwarf's brethren: the treacherous Dourhands.
• In the twentieth quest, Spalvi Dourhand frees Bingo from captivity at Gabilazan, the Dourhand stronghold in the Misty Mountains, but shortly after escaping the castle, Bingo falls down a deep, dark hole in the side of the mountain.
• In the twenty-first quest, Spalvi is desperate to find out about Bingo's whereabouts. With the help of Willem Whisker , clues leading through Goblin-town and Erforgh Cleft reveal a map of an underground river, that has apparently swept the hobbit away, towards the mysterious Mines of Moria.
• In the twenty-second quest, Spalvi follows clues from Glóin into Eregion, setting up camp at Gwingris, where he runs into Haley Meadowsweet. Together, they decide to get in touch with the Iron Garrison in order to gain access to Khâzad-dûm.
• In the twenty-third quest, Spalvi is confronted by the Dourhands he left behind at Gabilazan who have tracked him to Eregion because he stole one of their most precious treasures - a gemstone of Skorgrím Dourhand. Fighting off his pursues, Spalvi finally renounces his clan name.
• In the twenty-fourth quest, Spalvi is looking for a new surname, seeing himself no longer as a Dourhand. With the help of Haley, he resorts to calling himself 'Spalvi Stoutheart' forthwith.
• In the twenty-fifth quest, Spalvi moves into Moria and sets up camp at the Dolven-view, where he meets Ketill Map-maker, a resourceful dwarf who he enlists to help him locate the still lost hobbit.
• In the twenty-sixth quest, Willem Whisker has picked up Bingo's scent and rushes through Durin's Way all the way into the Fanged Pit where Bingo is finally discovered sitting next to the pool of Khulturg, having lost his memories during the fall.
• In the twenty-seventh quest, Spalvi sets out to recover the pages of Bingo's manuscript in order to help Bingo regain his memories. After a trip through the deeper levels of Moria, the manuscript is shown to Bingo and his memory is restored.
• In the twenty-eight quest, Bingo finally leaves Moria and passes into Nanduhirion. At the eastern gate to Khâzad-dûm, Spalvi bids his farewell, desiring to stay behind and help the Iron Garrison.
• In the twenty-nine quest, Bingo strolls through Nanduhirion, eventually meeting with the elves and is granted passage to Lothlórien.
• In the thirtieth quest, Bingo strives to impress the elves with his battle-skills and through some subtle subterfuge gains passage to Mirkwood.
• In the thirty-first quest, Bingo gets hungry for some delicious breakfast. A recipe book provided by Adolinda, a former inhabitant of the town of Audaghaim has players search all over Mirkwood for the ingredients.
• In the thirty-second quest, Bingo wonders where Willem Whisker has gone and tasks his friends with finding the lynx, who later turns up at the very gates of Dol Guldur. Afterwards, Bingo returns to Caras Galadhon to taste Lembas.
• In the thirty-third quest, Bingo travels south to the elven outpost of Haldirith, where he learns from Maervadhor, a Galadhrim sentinel, how to make ink from ingredients found at the banks of the Anduin.
• In the thirty-forth quest, Bingo seeks to gain entrance to the rohirric outpost of Stangard, but is turned away by the guards. Moving onwards to Frithstan's Camp, he encounters Langhár, a Beorning, who is fighting the Orcs in the Wailing Hills, and later the Great Eagles Landroval and Meneldor.
• In the thiry-fifth quest, Bingo aids Sabert, gate-ward of Stangard, fend off an Easterling attack on the rohirric outpost and receives help from the friends he made earlier.
• In the thirty-sixth quest, Bingo crosses into the Wold, making a short stop at the town of Langhold before moving onwards to Harwick, where he finally realizes that he will require a steed for travelling around Rohan.
• In the thirty-seventh quest, Bingo, who is generally scared of horses, attempts to purchase a mount from Cuthbald, a friendly horse trader based in Harwick. In the end, Cuthbald is able to introduce Bingo to a new friend: the pony Tanglemane.
• In the thirty-eight quest, Bingo travels to Cliving where he encounters Egwylf, a female Rohirrim who is hunting a mysterious cult named the 'Blood-eye'. Bingo is eager to help uncover the identity of the cultists that Egwylf is hunting, but for now all that is found is one of the signature brooches used by the Blood-eye.
• In the thirty-ninth quest, the hunt for the agents of the Blood-eye continues into the snowy heights of Wildermore, where Bingo discovers the dead body of one of Egwylf's targets. The other cultist leaves no trace though.
• In the fourtieth quest, Bingo is approached by Bert Bartleby, who has turned up at almost every stop of the hobbit's journey. Bert asks him to find an old acquaintance of his: the lore-master Humfrey Rumming.
• In the fourty-first quest, Bingo and Egwylf travel from Wildermore across the Entwash Vale and the Broadacres, where they come under attack by one of the Nazgûl. While Egwylf fights off the Ringwraith with fire, Tanglemane carries Bingo to safety, and out of sight.
• In the fourty-second quest, Egwylf is following Bingo's tracks from Woodhurst to the town of Gapholt, where Tanglemane has brought him. On the way, there is another short run-in with Humfrey Rumming near Brockbridge.
• In the fourty-third quest Bingo and Egwylf come to the walls of Helm's Deep, where the tracker finally says her goodbyes to Bingo. Moving onwards, Bingo discovers the fate of Marton and has an encounter with Mercy, a mysterious woman, whom he wants to bring to safety in Grimslade.
• In the fourty-fourth quest, Willem Whisker is behaving unusally, and runs off to the west when Bingo tries to find out more about it. Following the lynx through the Gap of Rohan and into the Dunbog, Bingo discovers the reason why Willem was acting strange: He has a family and is finally reunited with them. Deciding to stay in the Dunbog, Willem now parts with Bingo, who then comes to the town of Avardin in the Starkmoor.
• In the fourty-fifth quest, Bingo travels to Galtrev where runs into Humfrey Rumming... again. The Lore-master tells him he met Haley Meadowsweet and Theodore Gorse, but will not simply give away their location. He provides a riddle instead, which, after some confusion, leads right back to Avardin where Bingo is reunited with the Treasure Seekers.
• In the fourty-sixth quest, Bingo accompanies his friends back to Galtrev where they notice that Theodore is missing. Investigations lead the group to Draigoch's Lair, where Theodore wants to return the Rothstone to. With a large portion of luck, they escape the dragon's fire and make their next stop at Lhanuch in Enedwaith.
• In the fourty-seventh quest, Bingo discovers the stoor village of Maur Tulhau where he is greeted by a welcoming feast.
• In the fourty-eigth quest, Bingo must deal with his overfilled stomach because he ate too much at the welcoming feast. Iola Isbrun, a resident of Maur Tulhau, aides him.
• In the fourty-ninth quest, Bingo, Haley and Theodore continue their journey northwards through the brigand blockade at the King's Way Gate, passing into the Andrath in southern Bree-land.
• In the fiftieth quest, Bingo finally returns to Michel Delving where he is confronted by an angry Myrtle Boggs and a large overdue fee from the Tuckborough library.
• In the fity-first quest, Bingo writes invitations to a dinner party to the friends he made on his journey and asks for them to delivered in person.
• In the fifty-second (and final) quest, Bingo's party is a great success with many suprise guests showing up and Bingo finding the perfect recipe for a happy life: the very best friends a hobbit could wish for.
