'Gertheryg are some of Angmar's most terrible minions. Great troll-like creatures, they are cunning, skilled with arms and armour, and are not affected by the light of the Sun as other trolls are.

'We have observed parties of Gertheryg moving back and forth from a worm-infested cave in the vile Malenhad. I sent a scout, Bethad, to find out what he could of the place, but he has not returned, and I fear the worst.

'Please go and explore the cave, perhaps you can find Bethad within. I fear that it would be most unwise to explore this cave alone, so you should go with what allies you can gather.'

Bethad is in the Gorthorog-cave in Malenhad, east of Aughaire.

At Fonn's request, you searched the Gorthorog-cave for Bethad. You have found him, but he appears wounded.
