A Vengeful Heart
"Someone else has entered the tower! Be on guard!"
Background
Gothmog has been defeated, but he is not the only Master of Mordor who has come to Barad Cúron.
Objective 1
The Ranger Culang is in the throne room inside Barad Cúron.
- Culang: 'Be on your guard, my friend. We have few friends in this dark city, and fewer still who might gain access to this tower!'
Objective 2
Ugrukhôr, the Captain of the Pit, has captured the Ranger Annoth. He comes now to Barad Cúron to challenge Gothmog for supremacy of Imlad Morgul.
- Culang says, "Prepare yourself, <name>!"
- Culang says, "What? It is a Ranger of Ithilien!"
- Culang says, "Annoth? Is that you?"
- Ugrukhôr says, "Out of the way, prisoner!"
- Ugrukhôr says, "Gothmog! Show yourself!"
- Ugrukhôr says, "I have come for your life!"
- Ugrukhôr says, "What happened here?"
- Culang says, "You are too late, Ugrukhôr. Gothmog has been defeated!"
- Culang says, "Release Annoth and leave us, and no one else needs to die."
- Annoth says, "No!"
- Annoth says, "Ugrukhôr dies today!"
- Annoth says, "The Thandrim will be avenged!"
- Ugrukhôr says, "Quiet, prisoner."
- Ugrukhôr says, "My scouts saw Karazgar enter this tower."
- Ugrukhôr says, "Did he slay the Witch-king's favorite pet?"
- Ugrukhôr says, "<name>! I am asking you."
- Ugrukhôr says, "Speak or the Ranger dies."
Objective 3
Ugrukhôr has asked you a question.
- Ugrukhôr says, "He dies anyway."

- Annoth says, "<name>... avenge... the Thandrim..."
- Ugrukhôr says, "Well, <name>? Is Karazgar still in the tower?"
Objective 4

- Ugrukhôr: 'Ah, now you speak swiftly. It is a good lesson, <race>.
- 'But you will still not tell me if Karazgar remains in the tower? This defiance does not suit you, and it will avail you nothing. Indeed, it may cost you your life, or the lives of more friends. Is that what you want?'
- Ugrukhôr says, "Lûrkh! Take <name> and search the tower!"
- Ugrukhôr says, "If <name> tries anything, give a shout and I will slay this other Ranger."
- Ugrukhôr says, "His blood will be on your hands, <class>."
- Ugrukhôr says, "So guard Lûrkh with your life."
Objective 5
Ugrukhôr does not have the capacity for mercy. He toys with you and with the lives of your friends. He must pay for his cruelty.

Objective 6
- Escort Lûrkh to the upper reaches of the tower, and ensure he survives

- Lûrkh says, "Is that really Gothmog?"
- Lûrkh says, "He looks dead to me. How about that?"
- Lûrkh says, "Always hated those things."
- Lûrkh says, "Never trust anything that's got wings, that's what I say."
- Lûrkh says, "I don't see any sign of Karazgar. Maybe he's gone."
- Lûrkh says, "Or maybe he never came up here?"
- Lûrkh says, "Is there any treasure up here, <class>?"

- 'And Karazgar? Long have I thought to test my might against the Weeping Warrior, but he is a sneaking coward. When I have secured my position here, he will be the next to fall. But of this I am now convinced: he is no friend to you. Perhaps he and I will strike a bargain, for we each may have information of use to the other.
