Background
You have returned with Merry and Pippin to Mordor, with the sole intent of finding the three suspicious half-orcs. The ranger Golodhon has pointed you on the way to where he believes they ought to be.
Objective 1
Merry has brought your expedition to a stop. You should hear what he has to say.
- Merry: 'This is near to the place Golodhon thought they should be. They are not standing out in plain view, at any rate! I suppose the only thing is to begin looking around for them, or signs of where they have gone.'
Objective 2
You should begin searching the area for signs of the three half-orcs.
- Merry shouts, "Well, come on then. Don't just stand there!"
- Merry shouts, "Nothing? Then we had better keep looking, I suppose."
- Pippin shouts, "No sign of them here."
Objective 3
You should continue searching the area for signs of the three half-orcs.
- Merry shouts, "Look, you can see the Isenmouthe from here. Not a friendly sort of gate, is it?"
- Pippin shouts, "Not at all. Say, do you think we might stop here and -"
- Merry shouts, "No, Pippin, this is NOT the time for a meal. We must keep moving."
- Merry shouts, "But wait - what was that?"
Objective 4
- Stop to get your bearings
You should continue searching the area for signs of the three half-orcs.
Objective 5
You should resume searching the area for signs of the three half-orcs.
- Merry shouts, "This is a fair bit more dangerous than our first excursion."
- Merry shouts, "Well, nevermind. Let's keep going."
- Merry shouts, "Look sharp!"
Objective 6
- Pippin shouts, "I say, what's that there?"
Objective 7
You should talk to Pippin and find out what he thinks he has seen.
- Pippin: 'Just look what I've found. Over there, between those rocks. Boot marks -- and they're too soft and narrow to be Orc-feet, by my reckoning.
- 'Come, let us see where they lead.'
Objective 8
You should follow the footprints that Pippin discovered and see where they lead.
- Pippin shouts, "I say, what's that there?"
- Merry shouts, "And look, there is a whole trail of them!"
- The prints lead ever onward and upward
- You have found the three half-orcs again!
Objective 9
You have found the three half-orcs again. Join Merry and Pippin and try to get some answers out of them.
- Pippin shouts, "You three. Why, we have got words with you."
- Suspicious Half-orc shouts, "Ar har har! What's this, then? Halflings in Mordor?"
- Suspicious Half-orc shouts, "Well don't that beat all. All done up like menfolk, too."
- Merry shouts, "I'm warning you. You will tell us about the pipeweed barrels in Isengard, and the Wizard, and what you meant about the halfling lands?"
- Pippin shouts, "Or you shall have a taste of our blades!"
- Suspicious Half-orc shouts, "Har! Or sell you three to the Red Eye, more like, along with the news we've got."
- Pippin shouts, "Look out!"
- Suspicious Half-orc shouts, "Aauugh!"
- Suspicious Half-orc shouts, "Run away! Save yourself!"
- Merry shouts, "A Troll!"
- Defeated Enraged Troll
Objective 10
- Talk to the dying half-orc
The half-orc who was struck by the Troll has some life yet in him. You should speak to him now and see what you can learn.
- Suspicious Half-orc: 'Bah! That's done me in, I know it. And you lot. So you found some barrels in Isengard, did you? That isn't the half of it. Ha ha. Ha ha ha ha...'
- He devolves into pained coughing for several moments.
- 'There's plenty more where that came from, in your precious Shire. That land is good undefended, it is. Ripe for the plucking.'
Objective 11
You should talk to Pippin and Merry.
- Suspicious Half-orc shouts, "Guhhhh..."
- With that, the half-orc expires
- Pippin shouts, "Oh, Hobbit-kind is not so easily cowed, as your Wizard will find out the hard way. Oh, why if it isn't enough to -- to -- hrrrrrm...."
- Merry: 'Poor fellow. He will not be dearly missed by anyone, I suppose, not even his craven comrades. I cannot say that I am satisfied, but I think we have done all we could this day. It is time we headed back.'
- Pippin: 'Those - those weren't answers. those were riddles. Riddles that would drive even old Bilbo mad!'
- Pippin: 'Merry is right, of course. We are done with Mordor for now. Perhaps for good. Let us get going then, before anything else unpleasant can happen!'
