Anlaf the Forlorn, though forgetful, does remember he sent out a supply cart to head for Bree. It has been at least a week since he sent it out and there is still no sign of it returning. He asks you to search north and south of the road to the west (the road the cart was taking while heading towards Bree) for any signs of either the cart or the cart driver.
You search for a short period and finally locate the cart a short bit north from the road, destroyed and looted, as well as the cart driver's corpse a short distance away to the west. With the corpse's back up against a tree near to a small goblin camp, it is evident he was killed by goblins. You return to Anlaf with the unfortunate news. He pays you a small fee for your trouble and then starts thinking of a way to remedy his short supply.
