I am particularly interested to know who made the stone. Do you know, is it dwarven work? Know that I am working on this even as we speak [I told Aldrik to ask around, remember].

I have other business I am working on, but I see that you feel strongly about this - I can be ready to go in a day. I will plan to spend perhaps a fortnight in the Forest - I will require you to pay my expenses - supplies sufficient to last that time, as well as some armaments and anything else which may come up.
