'I'm sure the Orcs have plenty more Black-fire. I'm going to ask you to find and destroy it all. That means you will have to go deep into Nan Wathren.

'I know the Orcs have camps on three hills in the Nan Wathren. These hills are connected by rope bridges in the heart of the valley. I suspect that more Black-fire can be found there. We must destroy it if we can. It seems that open flame causes this foul powder to explode, so it would be wise to use fire to destroy the crates.

'Also, keep an eye open for half-orcs. I wager it is them I saw carrying the crate. Pure-bred Orcs are brutes and could never work such magic! I'd take some friends along, if I was you -- that area is crawling with Orcs, and you'll need friends to defend you while you destroy the crates.'

Background

Aggy Digweed has dubbed the foul substance you found "Black-fire" and called it a dark magic of the Orcs. She believes the Orcs have more and that it must be destroyed if Trestlebridge is to be saved.
