Book 3, Chapter 4, Part II of III: Freeing Dori

When you arrived at Othrikar, bringing word of the Council of Esteldín, Hannar told you that Dori, the emissary of the Longbeards of Erebor, had been captured by the Dourhands.

Description
Stage 1
Stage 2

'A council of the Free Peoples? How could we give thought to a council with Dori gone? It was only with Dori's arrival, and the hoard of gems he brought, that hope began to creep back into our hearts. But Dori has been captured, the gems lost, and hope is stolen away.

'If those Men, those Rangers, wish to have the help of the Dwarves of Othrikar, then Dori must be freed! You -- if you are the Rangers' envoy -- must do this if you desire our presence at this council!

'Dori is likely being held in the Dourhands' camp to the west of Othrikar. Free Dori and escort him to safety! Once he is free, we will make our decision regarding this council of yours.'

NOTE: It is suggested that you complete this quest while in a fellowship. Inspiration will assist you if you choose to undertake this challenge alone or with a smaller group.

The Dourhands' camp where Dori is being held is west of Othrikar. Search the ruins for where Dori is being held.

Hannar told you that the dwarves could not even consider coming to the Council of Esteldín, unless Dori was freed from the Dourhands. As an envoy of the Rangers, he told you that you must free him if you hope to have the support of the dwarves at the Council.

This quest is meant for a fellowship. If you choose to undertake this quest solo you will receive an inspiration bonus, but the challenge will be great.
