'The ghost is still in my library! When will it leave me alone? You know, all this started when I was doing a bit of tidying up in there, sending a few things off to the Mathom-house and such....

'I stumbled across an old rocket from the Old Took's last Midsummer's Eve party. Gandalf the Grey and he were great friends, you know, and Gandalf would bring the most splendid fireworks! Perhaps I upset the Old Took's ghost when I sent that rocket off to the Mathom-house? It could be that he wants to see it fired off!

'If we could get the rocket back and fire it, that might appease his ghost. Could you speak with Keeper Brombard Foxtail in Michel Delving and get it? The Mathom-house is up on a hill, north-west of the centre of Michel Delving. Once you have the crackers, could you fire them off at the Methel-stage in Bywater?'

Background

In tidying up his library, Adelard Took came across a rocket from the Old Took's last Midsummer's Eve party. He sent it off to the Mathom-house in Michel-Delving, but he thinks that might have upset the Old Took's ghost.

Objectives

Objective 1

Brombard Foxtail is at the Mathom-house in Michel Delving, far west of Tuckborough.

Adelard Took asked you to travel to the Mathom-house in Michel Delving and ask Keeper Foxtail for the fireworks rocket he had sent there.
'Good day to you. So Adalard is looking for the rocket that he sent here?

'Well, yes I have it. In fact, I haven't had the chance to do anything with it yet, actually. A moment please....

'Ah, here you are! Be careful...althought it is quite old, I would wager that since it was made by Gandalf the Grey it is still potent!'

Objective 2

Find the Methel-stage in Bywater. [32.6S, 69.9W]

The Methel-stage is on the southern side of the road heading west out of Bywater.

Adelard Took had asked you to fire the rocket off at the Methel-stage in Bywater in hopes that the sight of this last rocket will appease the Old Took's ghost.

You step onto the Methel-stage

You have set off the last of the rockets


Objective 3

Talk to Adelard Took

Adelard Took can be found at the Great Smials in Tuckborough.

You should return to Adelard Took and let him know that you've done as he asked.
'Oh, I can tell by the smell of your clothes that you fired off the rocket. Wonderful!

'Surely this will appease the Old Took's ghost. I'm going to go check in the library right now and make sure. I have a good feeling about this though. I'm sure this has appeased his ghost!'

Notes

To use the fireworks, simply stand on the Methel-stage and use the item in your inventory. The stage is at 32.6S, 69.9W
