Glóin related to you a small portion of the history of Helegrod and asked you to speak with the scouts he sent forth to watch the Bitter Stair for signs of the threat growing now behind the walls of Helegrod.
'I charge you with seeking the scouts I sent forth to Helegrod. Hear what they have uncovered, ${PLAYER}, and we may better know how to deal with the new threat that lurks within that dark place.
'They will have taken shelter somewhere to the north, within sight of the Bitter Stair that climbs up to the walls of the keep. Ask Sigrun for the rest of Durin's sad tale when you find him, for it concerns him most directly, and he will relate it to you if you wish to hear it.
'Use caution among the snowy slopes and search among the trees in sight of the Bitter Stair to find Sigrun and Greip, my scouts. They have authority to deal with any matters concerning Helegrod.'
The dwarves Sigrun and Greip were sent north of Glóin's camp in the Western Bruinen Source to scout Helegrod and have likely established a small camp among the trees in sight of the Bitter Stair.
Glóin has sent you to speak with the scouts he dispatched to watch the Bitter Stair that climbs to the gates of Helegrod, far to the north of his Western Bruinen Source camp.
The dwarves Sigrun and Greip have several friends they need to consult and send information to before they venture back into Helegrod.
Helegrod is north-east of Sigrun and Greip's camp.
It is now time for you to see this ancient fortress for yourself.
