'We must ensure that the commanders in Dol Guldur cannot get reinforcements into the Mirk-eaves during our assault upon the fortress.
'Any large number of troops would have to come through the Gostannon, the gate upon the road that lead to the east. The Orcs still control it for now, but I am certain that we soon capture it as well.
'For the moment, I need you to see that the gate is made useless to them. Try to jam the mechanism by which it is raised and lowered on this side. It will not slow them down for long, but by then our assault will be complete and the Mirk-eaves will be ours!'
