Help Sandyman fix the bridge by getting him a hammer from Carl Sandyman and three bundles of nails from the mill, scare off the crows for Holbert, Sneak into Hobart's garden and steal berries, sneak into the chicken coop and steal three eggs, open Lorella's locked chest's and collect provisions (sugar, spice, wheat, three berries, three eggs, three apples, sausages and tea- cakes) for Bombur and finally enter the door to the Green Dragon.
