Background
Molkha has a troubling report to share: The Frost-bound Hobgoblins, the Angmarim, and the Drakes of the Frost-horde are negotiating alliances, and using fallen dwarves as bargaining chips.
Objective 1
Molkha is ready to describe what she saw earlier.
You should talk to Molkha.
- Molkha: 'Not long ago, I witnessed the hobgoblins and Angmarim passing through. When they reached this frozen lake, they stopped and looked toward the sky...'
Objective 2
- Listen to the conversation
Molkha is describing what she saw transpire between the drakes, hobgoblins, and Angmarim.
You should listen to the conversation.
- Then I heard a terrible roar, and made sure I was out of sight!
- Warlord Dushtalbúk says, "There they are. Kneel, and let me do the talking, Angmarim."
- Warlord Dushtalbúk says, "I greet you, children of the Frost-heart."
- Grimdóth the Bitter says, "Warlord Dushtalbúk. What brings the Frost-bound to our peaks?"
- Fólnith the Pale says, "Why are these Men with you?"
- Warlord Dushtalbúk says, "These Men are Angmarim. They seek passage through your lands, and permission to perform... 'rituals' in the high peaks."
- Warlord Dushtalbúk says, "In exchange, they have prepared these gifts."
- Fólnith the Pale says, "Hah! They will make excellent nest guardians."
- Grimdóth the Bitter says, "We accept you gifts, Angmarim, but I remain unconvinced."
- Loknashra says, "I can speak to their usefulness, O frigid ones."
- Loknashra says, "They have taught my sisters and I the power to control the dead, to summon spirits from beyond and bind them to our will."
- Loknashra says, "They wish to swear themselves to the Frost-horde, now that their Nazgûl master is gone."
- Grimdóth the Bitter says, "So be it, Frost-bound. You will not be devoured this day, Angmarim!"
- Fólnith the Pale says, "We will be watching! Prove yourselves to our mother!"
- Ugarad the Harbinger says, "We are in your debt, Warlord."
- Warlord Dushtalbúk says, "Hmph. Indeed you are."
- Ugarad the Harbinger says, "And we also owe you our thanks, Lady Loknashra."
- Loknashra says, "Come, tell me of your plans in the Welkin-lofts. And tell me more of this... Drugoth."
- Molkha: 'Using the re-animated bodies of fallen dwarves as mere tokens of favour? Despicable... the hobgoblins and Angmarim then left, heading south. I did not come out of hiding for a long while, for fear of the drakes seeing me from above!'
