'I cannot tell you the strength of the forces of Angmar within Fornost, for I did not see them approach. The Orcs and Wargs that guard the gates must have entered Fornost from the north!

'I fear the only way to know the true strength of the Enemy within Fornost is to test the defences erected at its gates by the Orcs. I would do this myself, but my old injury prevents me from doing so.

'If you are willing, go to the Norbury Gates north of here and slay what Orcs and Wargs you find. After you have done so, bring me a report of what you find.'

Mincham can be found at his camp in the southern Fields of Fornost.

The Ranger Mincham will need to hear your report regarding the defences at the gates of Fornost.
