Assault on Rath Teraig
"The combined forces of Lord Dwalin of Thorin's Hall and Dorongúr Whitethorn of Duillond prepare to march upon the goblin-army at Rath Teraig...."
Background
The dwarves and Elves of Ered Luin have begun their assault on the goblin-army in the cleft of Rath Teraig, and Langlas sent you behind enemy lines to meet Avorthal.
Objective 1
Avorthal seeks Skorgrím Dourhand inside the goblin-infested vale of Rath Teraig.
Avorthal has pledged the strength of his arm to your cause and seeks revenge upon Skorgrím for the harm he has caused the peoples of Ered Luin.
- Avorthal: 'I am ready, <name>. We will find Skorgrím Dourhand and drive the fell creature not only from Rath Teraig, but from Ered Luin itself!'
- Avorthal says, "This way!"
- Athal says, "Avorthal! I was starting to think you were leaving all the goblins to me!"
- Avorthal says, "Not at all, my friend! But look to your axe, for we have guests!"
- Athal says, "Take care, Avorthal! We will have many tales to tell when this is over!"
- Avorthal says, "I am sure we will, my friend."'
- Longbeard-guardian says, "A fine hit!"
- Longbeard-guardian says, "Save some goblins for me!"
- Elf-champion says, "Your axe may yet see service...once I run out of arrows!"
- Gailthin says, "They are preparing a fresh attack. Be ready."
- Avorthal says, "We stand with you, Gailthin!"
- Elf-champion says, "Where is their main force?"
- Longbeard-champion says, "Mathi Stouthand is in trouble! We need your aid!"
- Avorthal says, "Lead the way, Master Dwarf, and we will follow!"
- Mathi Stouthand says, "The goblins are regrouping! Hold them off, and I will call out their positions!"
- Mathi Stouthand says, "More goblins to the left!"
- Avorthal says, "Do you smell something?"
- Mathi Stouthand says, "Sappers!"
- Mathi Stouthand says, "Well done!"
- Longbeard-champion says, "I have returned with reinforcements, Mathi!"
- Mathi Stouthand says, "The day is not won yet, though. There are more goblins ahead."
- Mathi Stouthand says, "You should rest a moment, though, before pressing ahead."
- Avorthal says, "I think you are right. Let us rest a while."
Objective 2
Avorthal seeks Skorgrím Dourhand inside the goblin-infested vale of Rath Teraig.
Avorthal has pledged the strength of his arm to your cause and seeks revenge upon Skorgrím for the harm he has caused the peoples of Ered Luin.
- Avorthal: 'I feel rested enough to continue. Let us continue our search for Skorgrím Dourhand.'
- Avorthal says, "Wait... something is not right here...."
- Avorthal says, "Goblins, on the cliff above us! Hurry, follow me!"
- Mathi Stouthand says, "Get rid of those goblin-spearmen or we'll be done for!"
- Elf-hunter says, "Avorthal! The goblins have captured a woman."
- Elf-champion says, "Your father led some Elves and dwarves to rescue Sara Oakheart. He never returned."
- Avorthal says, "My father is strong. Do not fear for him."
- Avorthal says, "Let us rest for a moment before we proceed."
Objective 3
Avorthal seeks Skorgrím Dourhand inside the goblin-infested vale of Rath Teraig.
Avorthal has vowed to rescue Sara Oakheart, held captive by goblins within Rath Teraig, putting worries of his father's fate out of his mind.
- Avorthal: 'I am ready to move on, <name>. We must find and rescue this Sara Oakheart. Once she is safe, we can continue our search for Skorgrím.
- 'Perhaps we will find my father up ahead and can lend him our aid, though I am sure he has little need of our blades.'
- Avorthal says, "This way!"
- Avorthal says, "There she is! Quickly, we must save her!"
- Sara Oakheart says, "Thank you, dear. I felt sure I would meet my end at the hands of those awful goblins!"
- Avorthal says, "You are most welcome. You should leave this place at once!"
- Avorthal says, "Now <name>, let us find Skorgrím and finish this!"
- Avorthal says, "Father!"
- Cardavor says, "Avorthal, no! Stay back!"
- Cardavor says, "It is a trap!"
- Skorgrím Dourhand says, "Hold, my friends."
- Skorgrím Dourhand says, "This has been an amusing exercise, but now it is over. Ered Luin is weak, and that is enough."
- Skorgrím Dourhand says, "I have business now in Bree-land. War is coming, and soon all of Middle-earth shall burn."
- Avorthal says, "You are defeated, Skorgrím! The dwarves and the Elves stand against you!"
- Skorgrím Dourhand says, "Now you can kill them."
- Avorthal says, "More enemies are upon us!"
- Avorthal says, "Our fight is not yet at its end!"
- Avorthal says, "Be on your guard! Our enemies continue their attack!"
- Avorthal says, "Father, how badly are you hurt?"
- Cardavor says, "Do not worry about me, my son. I fear for the lands to the south."
Objective 4
Skorgrím Dourhand has escaped. Avorthal is waiting to speak with you regarding the course you should take next.
- Avorthal: 'Skorgrím has escaped, <name>, but I think Ered Luin will be safe from him now...at least for a time. For that, I feel the combined assault of dwarves and Elves was a success.
- 'It will be a long while before we know the full cost of our actions here. Many good people have fallen in Rath Teraig this day.
- 'I will tend to my father's wounds, and then together we can report to Langlas and tell him what has happened here today.'
- Avorthal: 'We should now return to Langlas.'
