'The guards do not bring us to work oin the surface very often, but the last time they did, I saw some of the great war-machines being constructed within the Ring. I do not know how close they are to being completed, but if we can do anything to prevent them from leaving Isengard, we surely must.

'What is it they say about birds and stones? I think the black powder you collected might serve as the perfect distraction and also deprive our enemies of one of these war-machines.

'Go to the surface and leave the black powder near the largest of the war-machines, south-east of the steps of Orthanc. The amount you have should suffice for four small piles. We will set the war machines aflame when it is time for us to make our escape. The door to the surface is on the north side of the caverns.'
