Expedition: The Common Thread  

'Someone sent these half-orcs to Hollin, Name; it is clear to me that Graug, the chieftain who ordered the camp established inside Filgogan, has his own master. I want to know who this might be.

'I will reward you handsomely for evidence of this overseer. Enter the cave and do battle with the half-orcs, and bring me whatever common thread binds these half-orcs in loyalty to Graug's mysterious master.'

Simbi wants to know who has sent the half-orcs to Filgogan, where their presence threatens the expedition of dwarves that has come to Hollin.

Objective 1

• Collect Painted Stones (0/6)
• Can only be completed before the Expedition enters Moria.

Half-orcs inside the cave of Filgogân, south-west of Bosi's camp and across the dried-up Sirannon, surely carry some proof of their loyalty to Graug's master.

Simbi has asked you to ascertain the common thread that binds these half-orcs together, and bring evidence of it to him.

Objective 2

• Bring painted stones to Simbi
• Can only be completed before the Expedition enters Moria.

Símbi is outside the entrance to the cave Filgogan, southwest of Bpsi's camp, across the dried-up Sirannon.

You have recovered stones, crudely painted with the emblem of a hand, from many of the half-orcs within Filgogân, and should bring them now to Simbi.
