'The nightshade-tincture is ready. I have learned that there are three great black monuments, like huge jagged blades, placed before the lake in the centre of Imlad Balchorth. This lake can be recognized by the two vast dying trees upon a central island. The monuments are grouped together in a triangle pattern before you reach the lake. I ask you to visit the monuments and use this tincture on each one.

'If all is as I suspect, the monuments will be protected by spirits and wights that hold great power. You are encouraged to defeat these spirits.

'This is no small task, and you should gather a few of your friends to attempt this. Report back to me when the power of the monuments is broken.'

Oflár is back at the dwarf-outpost of Myrkworth.

You dispersed some fell spirits and slew the wights who came to defend the obelisk, but there was little other result. One wight boasted of something he called the Cauldron of Death. Oflár might know of these words.
