"What secrets lie in the depths of the Mordath? The little Dwarf-king and his people will soon know more than they dared imagine! Ah, but what is this? Another dwarf stands upon the threshold...."
Background
Deep in the depths of Barad-dûr, there lies a passage into the Mordath, the Black Pits of Mordor, through which Váskmun Greytooth intends to lead the Firehorns in his quest to reclaim the Dwarf-ring, Manthríf.
Objective 1
Gimli can be found on the precipice within the abyss of Mordath.
You descended into the abyss of Mordath and have come to a ledge within depths of Barad-dûr. You should speak to Gimli and begin your search for King Váskmun Greytooth and the Firehorns.
- Gimli:
- 'It is quiet here, <name>...
- 'If Váskmun and the Firehorns came to this place, they did so by another way. Knowing Váskmun, he probably marched his army right up to the gates of Barad-dûr!
- 'Hah! There will be no tale of proud dwarves this day, my friend. Váskmun's pride does his folk no good at all!
- 'Now, we must find some sign of him or his folk before we are discovered.
- 'Let us go!'
Objective 2

- Gimli says, Oh, I don't like the look of this at all....
- Gimli says, We must find the passage into the Mordath, Valamar, and we must do it swiftly!
- Gimli says, This is Barad-dûr, after all! Váskmun and his folk may be the least of our concerns!
- Gimli says, Valamar, I think we have come too late....
- Gimli says, Aye, the Firehorns have left a trail of dead in their wake....
- Gimli says, This was a battle between warriors and scholars...these evil Men stood no chance of overcoming Váskmun and his folk.
- Gimli says, The Firehorns came by this way, I think.
- Gimli says, The trail of dead descends deeper into the caverns. Let us see where it leads!
- Gimli says, By Durin's beard, what terrible works! What is this place?
- The caverns suddenly grow wider, and you come to a room dwarfed by statues of Sauron and his servants...
Objective 3
- Talk to Gimli in the Chamber of the Watchers
- Gimli:
- 'What is all this?
- 'Váskmun and the Firehorns must have come through here... for the trail of dead has led us to this chamber. Hmmm...
- 'Look, the passage descends even further! Oh no, <name>, don't you dare think I've become jealous! Whatever this pace might be, it is no Khazad-dûm!

- 'Because it sure seems so to me!'
Objective 4

- Remnant of the Dark Lord says, Begone, dwarf!

- Gimli:
- 'Some kind of trap? I don't like the sound of this at all!
- 'We're going to need more than you or I if Váskmun and the Firehorns went down there, and if you ask me, we shouldn't wait around for those Eye-mad cultists to find us either!
