Bestowal Dialogue
'As we have yet to come across them in our travels up the mountainside, the hobogblin forces can only be in one place: at the end of the Father's Path, the ruins of Uzdarulzahar at the very peak. I will return to the Thing-fold and send for our reinforcements. They will have arrived at Fellgát by now. Dréri, Náth, Molkha, and Klúso will escort them. Kyrstig and I will then travel to just outside the ruins. Meet us there when you are prepared to battle Warlord Dushtalbúk.'

Objective 4

This will be a difficult fight! Use the battle horn at the gate of Uzdarulzahar to summon the Scout Trio if they have left your side.
- Hárkyrta the Frigid says, "You are no match for the might of the Frost-horde, dwarf!"
- Hórin says, "Alone? Aye, I am not. But we dwarves stick together! For Gundabad!"
- Hárkyrta the Frigid says, "Argh! Dwarf worms! Mother will avenge my death!"

Use the battle horn at the gate of Uzdarulzahar to summon the Scout Trio if they have left your side.
- Hórin: 'Right on time, <name>! The battle is won! Our forces can deal with the rest of these hobgoblins. It is time we returned to Fellgát.'
Objective 6
or
- (Optional) Talk to Hórin at Uzdarulzahar to quickly travel to Fellgát
The battle has been won!
You should return to Fellgát and talk to Hórin.
- Hórin: 'Come, <name>, let us return to Fellgát. I desire the warmth of a campfire and the taste of an ale-flagon!'
- Hórin: 'You work cleaning up Fellgát truly paid off, my long-suffering but never-complaining friend! I am glad to have a proper camp to return to after a fierce battle.
- 'You fought bravely, <name>, and though the day is won, I cannot help but dread what must next be done: Hrímil Frost-heart must be defeated. Gorgar and Dushtalbúk are but pawns to the Dragon, and now fully under her control! If anything, the Orcs and hobgoblins are even more dangerous now, for they work in unison rather than tearing at each others' throats. However, our campaign in Gundabad has had no small effect, and I suspect Hrímil will now pull back her forces to protect her lair. For all her haughtiness, she must be feeling rather cornered.
- 'The unknown factor in all of this is Loknashra. Hrímil was unable to control her, due to whatever dark magic the Angmarim instilled in her, and she spoke of revenge. I have a feeling she will soon make some move, and we must be ready for it... whatever form it takes.
- 'But enough of doom and gloom! We will face those foes another day. For now, rest, and drink with me! A cheer, for <name>! For the Gabil'akkâ!'
