Walkthrough & Notes
The second lieutenant is not at the same level as the first - you need to go up up up. For the third lieutenant you need to go even further up, to the same level as the stable-master Imrêkh-guthlu. Gazathrug's outpost is easier to find coming south from Zidir-nesad at [47.0S, 114.8W].

Quest Text

Bestowal Dialogue 'I have been looking over the Orc-orders we collected again. I cannot believe I missed this before! Look, it is crude and difficult to read but each order is signed by someone named Gazathrug. Most likely this Gazathrug is an Orc and probably commands the Orcs here in Máttugard! 'We did not see Gazathrug at Tholmuzog, but he must have lieutenants nearby. We should seek out Gazathrug's Lieutenants and find out where hides their commander. Perhaps we can capture Gazathrug and learn what plans or schemes the Orcs of Deepscrave have made for us!' Background Hetbrúda searches for Gazathrug, the captain of the upper reaches of Máttugard. Objective 1 Retrieve the first lieutenant's orders Retrieve the second lieutenant's orders Retrieve the third lieutenant's orders Lieutenants of Gazathrug can be found in the southern part of Máttugard. You should defeat Gazathrug's Lieutenants and retrieve their orders. Objective 2 Read the first lieutenant's orders Read the second lieutenant's orders Read the third lieutenant's orders You should read Gazathrug's orders to his lieutenants. Note: The orders can be found in your inventory. First Lieutenant's Orders: 'Tholmuzog isn't secure! I spied two warriors passing the barrier, but they are the least of my concerns! Patrol the perimeter!' Second Lieutenant's Orders: 'They will be coming. It is only a matter of time! Build the barriers, and then report to the commander in the Deepscrave.' Third Lieutenant's Orders: 'I'm uncertain how secure the outpost west of Tholmuzog is. I will certainly see them coming. Search for a new location for my outpost. Now!' Objective 3 Search Gazathrug's outpost for signs of the Orc Captain Gazathrug's outpost can be found in the southern part of Máttugard. You should search Gazathrug's outpost for signs of the Orc Captain. The Orc outpost has been abandoned Objective 4 Talk to Hetbrúda at Gazathrug's outpost Gazathrug's outpost can be found in the southern part of Máttugard. You should talk to Hetbrúda at Gazathrug's outpost. Hetbrúda: 'This is certainly Gazathrug's outpost... but no one is here! There are dead Orcs scattered about as well! Did another dwarf get here before us?'
