A Broken Mosaic
"Fortune smiles upon the Gabil'akkâ, I think! Is there not an artist in Gundabad who might repair this broken mosaic?"
Background
Bori suggested that you bring Fastrith to inspect the broken mosaic in Zul-mazal in order to see if her master Stáli the Hewer would be interested in it.
Objective 1
Fastrith has come to Zul-mazal.
- Imák says, "You go ahead. I care not for Longbeard art."
- Fastrith Hawkfeast: 'This mosaic must have been quite lovely, once! I have only been apprenticed to Stáli the Hewer for a short time, but I am certain he will want to see this!'
Objective 2
- Listen to the dwarves discuss the broken mosaic in Zul-mazal
Fastrith and the other dwarves stand in Zul-mazal, discussing the broken mosaic on the wall.
- Fastrith says, "This is really something!"
- Fastrith says, "It is a shame that the passage of the years has ruined such a work of art!"
- Bori says, "Aye, so it is."
- Bróin says, "I think the mosaic was damaged by more than just time, cousin."
- Bori says, "What makes you say that, Bróin?"
- Bróin says, "Orcs revel in the destruction of beauty."
- Fastrith says, "You speak truth! They delight in it!"
- Fastrith says, "So many stones are missing. Villains must have taken them away."
- Fastrith says, "What do you think the mosaic depicted when it was made?"
- Bori says, "Who can say?"
- Bróin says, "Actually, I think I can!"
- Fastrith says, "You can?"
- Bróin says, "Cousin, do you remember when our fathers assembled the Iron Garrison at Erebor?"
- Bori says, "Of course."
- Bróin says, "A mosaic stood in the Hall Under the Mountain."
- Fastrith says, "I have seen it!"
- Fastrith says, "It stands now in the workshop of Stáli the Hewer! He was seeking to restore it."
- Fastrith says, "I saw it there once when I visited my brother Eskil."
- Bori says, "I remember there WAS a mosaic, but that's all."
- Bróin says, "That mosaic must have been a copy of this one!"
- Fastrith says, "Yes! I can see it now!"
- Fastrith says, "Durin the Deathless stands here."
- Fastrith says, "He delivers judgement to Mótsog the Traitor."
- Fastrith says, "If we were to find the stolen stones that made up the mosaic..."
- Bróin says, "...we could restore it!"
- Bori says, "That sounds hard."
- Bori says, "You are more likely to find the lost Zabad'ibîn, I think."
- Fastrith says, "Perhaps we will find both! Bróin will help me!"
- Bróin says, "I will!"
- Imák says, "<name>."
- Imák calls for you from the other side of the chamber
Objective 3
- Talk to Imák in Zul-mazal
Bored by the discussion, Imák has called for you to speak with him. He believes danger is near.

- 'I think danger is near.'
Objective 4
- Protect Imák as he looks for the danger he has sensed
Bored by the discussion, Imák has called for you to speak with him. He believes danger is near.
- Imák says, "Hmm... do you hear that?"
- Imák says, "There could be more. Do not relax your guard!"
- Hobgoblin Prey-catcher says, "They're in here!"
- Hobgoblin Prey-catcher says, "There they are!"
- Imák says, "<name>, get him!"
- Imák says, "There will be more of them. Let's return to the others and prepare!"
Objective 5
- Return to Zul-mazal with Imák and ready the defence
A hobgoblin prey-catcher has found the entrance to Zul-mazal, and before he was slain he alerted his band to your position. You and the dwarves must ready your defence!
- Bori says, "What happened? I heard shouting!"
- Imák says, "Hobgoblins."
- Fastrith says, "Hobgoblins! How exciting!"
- Bróin says, "How many are there?"
- Imák says, "Does it matter?"
- Bróin says, "Spoken like a Longbeard, Imák!"
- Imák says, "Hmmph."
- Bori says, "<name>, are you ready?"
Objective 6
- Talk to Bori in Zul-mazal
Bori and the other dwarves prepare to defend Zul-mazal from the hobgoblin hunting-pack.
- Bori: 'These hobgoblins do not know who they have chosen for dancing partners!
- 'Let us show them the mistake they have made!'
Objective 7
- Fight alongside the dwarves in defence of Zul-mazal. The dwarves must not be defeated!
Bori and the other dwraves prepare to defend Zul-mazal from the hobgoblin hunting-pack.
- Bori says, "Here they come!"
- Hobgoblin Sigil-carver says, "This place is ours now!"
- Hobgoblin Prey-catcher says, "Take this!"
- Fastrith says, "This is sweaty labour!"
- Hobgoblin Sigil-carver says, "This place is not for dwarves!"
- Hurdbúrz says, "Slay them, you slugs!"
- Hurdbúrz says, "Worthless slugs!"
Objective 8
- Remain alert for any further threats to the dwarves
You and the dwarves have defended Zul-mazal from the hobgoblin hunting-party.
- Bori says, "Was that the last of them?"
- Imák says, "It seems so."
- Fastrith says, "That is a pity! I was just getting warmed up!"
- Fasrtith says, "But now I can better examine the mosaic, so I suppose that is for the best."
- Bróin says, "And I will help you, Fastrith."
- Bróin says, "We will restore the mosaic in this chamber, hobgoblins or no hobgoblins!"
- Fastrith says, "Or worse?"
- Bróin says, "Or worse!"
- Imák: 'That was well-fought, <name>. Perhaps these Longbeards can take care of themselves after all... so long as there is a Stout-axe nearby to lend a hand!'
