Description
It's bad enough havin' a troll problem, but the mountains are filled tae the brim with wendigos! They normally keep to their own caves, but they seem tae be spreadin' like bunnies. Now they've filled the Grizzled Den north of here.
If we want Whitebeard's report, we're gonna need to find my partner Cornelius. The blockhead got a little too excited and charged in head first. Brave, but stupid.
Head into the cave and see where he is. And feel free to take out some the beasts while yer at it.
