'The horde of Orcs and goblins in this forsaken city make it difficult to maintain our control of this position. Sometimes the raids on our camp seem unceasing, and I do not believe we will hold out long without respite.

'Perhaps it is time to counter their raids with one of our own. Enter the city and slay as many Orcs and goblins as you can. The strongest concentration of their forces seems to be around the foundations of the keep itself.

'If you can deliver a crippling blow to Angmar's army, we may yet survive this siege. Their numbers are great, so you will want to take allies.'

'I am Bahanneth, the Quartermaster of this force. Are you here to help in our struggle against the Orcs? Our scouts have noticed that they are cutting a great deal of lumber -- likely for use in constructing fortifications and siege-engines. We must not stand by while such a threat develops!

'Were matters more urgent, I would ask you to burn those supplies, but as things are not yet that pressing, I would have you take these phials of liquid and apply it to their wood piles before they are finished curing. This will weaken the wood, rendering it useless for their purposes -- but without their knowledge.

'The Orcs have also recently brought a number of crates out from their stores deep in Moria -- I would like you to steal the contents of a number of these crates so that we can perhaps guess at what evils they are preparing.'
