'Pay close heed now, (your name). It seems like the heart of the Grodbog-swarm lies within the Palace of Náin, to the north-west. There is a large chamber within, directly north of the Lamâb-dûm passage...that should be just far enough in to execute my plan.

'Once you find that chamber, I want you to crush the scent-glands you gathered, which will release an overwhelming scent...overwhelming to the gredbyg, that is. You will probably just smell a mildly unpleasant musky odour.

'This scent should draw out the hive-queen from her hidden nest. If you can slay her, then the entire hive will be greatly weakened...at least until they can raise a new queen. That should keep them out of our way for quite a while, not to mention Gamli's bedding!'
