'I feel I can trust you with something that has come to my attention today, Pantera. Jaki Stonehand and his party of smiths have regularly gone into the hills to the north and west in search of precious amber for use in our metalwork, but their return is past due.
'If you can find them, bring me news of their plight..and if they found any amber, bring it with you! I understand that amber is quite fragile, so use caution on your return to Othrikar.
'I have authority to grant permission to use the superior forges of Thorin's Halls. If you successfully do this for me, I won't forget it, Pantera.'
Background
The dwarf Ottar has asked for your help recovering an overdue delivery of amber that he expected at Othrikar some days ago.
Objectives
Objective 1
Ottar's smiths were looking for amber in the hills north and west of Othrikar.
Ottar sent you to look for the smiths he sent in search of amber north-west of Othrikar, and charged you with bringing him news of them...and bringing too any amber they may have found. In return, he suggested he might give you permission to use the superior forges of Thorin's Hall, in Ered Luin.
Objective 2
Jaki Stonehand is resting by the amber his party unearthed north-west of Othrikar, where Ottar is waiting for the delivery.
Pick up the amber by Jaki Stonehand and carry it south-east to Othrikar. Try not to engage in battle, for the amber is fragile and may easily break.
Objective 3
Ottar is at the centre of Othrikar.
Ottar is waiting to speak with you about the fate of Jaki Stonehand's expedition and to thank you for delivering the amber.
Take the northern exit from Othrikar, turn west, then angle southwest towards Ost Galumar but turn to the north slightly west of the first N in Nan Amlug West on the map. Jaki is sitting on a rise against the mountainside.

The suprior forge works just like the lessor forges. Just walk up to them. They are only used when there is a recipe which calls for the suprior forge.
