Wanton Destruction  

'Ninthamiel, while I have no care for the Dunlendings and their forest, I do wonder how much wood these Orcs have already cut...this may help decipher for what the wood will be used. A relatively small amount may indicate something as simple as fire-wood or spears. A large amount, on the other hand may indicate the construction of siege-weapons.

'If you wish to help me, go to their encampment, Ak-ghru, and investigate the clear-cut wood. Perhaps you will be able to determine exactly how much wood the Orcs have taken and how much more it appears they are determined to take.'

Orcs serving the White Hand are clear-cutting the forest and shipping the wood off to an unknown location.

Objective 1

The clear-cut forest can be found at Ak-ghru.

Elfrith asked you to investigate the clear-cut part of the forest to determine how much wood the Orcs have gathered.

Objective 2

Elfrith is hiding beyond the bounds of Ak-ghru.

You should report to Elfrith that the Orcs have cut a large amount of wood, probably for use in building siege-engines.
