Bestowal dialogue
'Ugrukhôr betrayed the Thandrim more than a thousand years ago, but my heart tells me that he lives still, either through some dark art of Sauron's or some other vile sorcery. Whatever the means of his persistence, I am glad of it, for it means he will know who is responsible for his undoing.
'But worry not! I have not abandoned my caution, as I know Rhogrin feared. I do not want to ruin this with haste! I have seen Orcs on the walls of Durthang, but not so many as must have been stationed here during the war. I think Durthang does not have as many defenders as the Orcs want us to think.
'Let us enter the fortress and see what is going on inside, <name>. Defeat enemies inside Durthang, and if there are prisoners in the dungeons, we should set them free. They may know where I can find Ugrukhôr.'

He has slain soldiers of Gondor and Rangers of Ithilien both!
