Quest:A New Shine

Bestowal dialogue

'Hello there, friend. I was just thinking of all the things I've got to do and me here on duty.

'I've got my brother's armour to get polished. He'd do it himself, if he had a mind to, but I'm afraid Kalli does not have our family's sense of duty. He'll never earn his commander's respect; always being late, never diligent in his duties, always wearing his old, worn armour and filthy uniform.

'Perhaps you could be of some service to an old warrior? Could you bring this armour up to Brúni Stonehelm and have him polish it for me? Brúni's stands among the smiths in the western chamber of Thorin's Hall, where the canal runs through the mountain.'

Background

Halli has asked you to help him improve his brother's reputation in the guard by having his tarnished armour polished.

Objective 1

Brúni Stonehelm can be found among the smiths in the western hall of Thorin's Hall, where the canal runs through the mountain.

Halli asks you to take his brother's armour to Brúni Stonehelm.

• Bring the tarnished armour to Brúni

'What's this? I know that armour! That's Halli's, unless I miss my guess. I haven't the time to polish his armour again. I'm far too busy!

'I was supposed to go down to Noglond, the way-station to the south, and pick up the guards' damaged armour. No, I have no time to clean Halli's armour today. You will just have to leave it here, and I will see if I can get to it before next week. Unless... you can go down to Noglond and retrieve the guards' armour for me.'

Objective 2

In return for polishing Halli's armour, Brúni asks you to collect the damaged armour from the guards at Noglond, the way-station south of Thorin's Hall.

• Talk to Geitir

'Brúni's got someone else to do his errands for him again, eh? Very well, here's my other armour. You might want to check with Olafr, too. His armour was torn up bad a few days ago back in a scuffle with some goblins.'

• Talk to Óláfr

'I've been waiting for Brúni to come down. We expected him the other day, but as usual, he put us off again! I've got a dent in my armour a hand a half long. Poxy goblin would have cut me shoulder to belly if not for that hunk of metal!'

Objective 3

You should take the armour you collected to Brúni up at the forge in Thorin's Hall.

• Deliver the dented armour to Brúni

'There you are. What's taken you so long? Let me see these...Thorin's beard! Have they been wrestling oliphaunts? I could forge two suits of armour in the time it will take me to hammer this out.'

The dwarf-smith looks up at you. 'Oh yes, here is the armour you wanted shined.'

Objective 4

Halli is in Frerin's Court, south of Thorin's Hall.

Brúni has given you Halli's armour, cleaned and polished, to return to its owner.

• Return the polished armour to Halli

'Aye, that's just the thing. Kalli will look sharp as an axe in this. The commander's sure to notice him now!'
