Bestowal

'The success of the Hidden Guard's errand wil depend, I think, upon secrecy. We must ensure that the Orcs of Mirkwood do not learn of Mazog's presence beneath the eaves, or they will surely launch an attack upon us in such number we cannot repel them.

'To the south-east are two forts which the Orcs of Mirkwood maintain a watch over this part of the forest. Search any coffers you find at Maudhul-ulur and Ashurz Maufulug for Orc-communications and defeat any of the Taughash you find in the Mirk-eaves as you do.

'If you can return to me with any plans or messages that mention Mazog, we can determine how to proceed. If they are aware that we have brought him out of Moria, we may need to act quickly to survive.'
