Name, we have need of your assistance. As you are aware, Orcs attacked the North Downs in force, driving farmers from their homes and burning the lands to the south-east. While our attention was turned to the Orcs, we did not notice the Hillmen who came after.

'We are preparing to strike against Angmar, but we are spread so thinly in the North Downs that we cannot fully determine the threat the Hillmen of Angmar pose.

'We need you to scout the Hillman-encampment to the north-east for us. From that camp, head west until you find an outcropping of strange spiny rocks. The pass continues to the north-west of these rocks. We need to know what you find at both places.'

Background

Orcs stormed out of the Ram Dúath and swept across the North Downs. After their passage, Hillmen out of Angmar came through the pass and encamped beyond the cliff faces and treacherous paths.

Objectives

Objective 1
Scout the Hillman camp at the Eastern Ram Duath
Scout the pass through the Western Ram Duath


The Hillman-encampment is north-east of Esteldin. The pass is west of the Hillman-encampment, north-west of an outcropping of spiny rocks.

Dagoras has asked you to scout the Hillmen encampment and the passs through which the Hillmen approached to determine the severity of the threat they pose, so that the Rangers can plan a defence against them.

Objective 2
Talk to Dagoras

Dagoras awaits your report ay Esteldin.

Angmarim forces have sent a small company of Hillmen to the south-east entrance of Ram Duath. At the southwest entrance of Ram Duath, you discovered evidence of many worms and drakes. You should return to Dagoras with your report.
