'When we arrived at the Hollin Gate some days ago, we found the Doors of Durin sealed by rubble and debris. Our road seems poorly chosen now; I wonder if the Dimrill Gate on the eastern side of the mountains is open.

'Dwarves of our expedition have been working to unearth the Gate, but it is lean and hungry work. Bring them these lunches so that they may harbour strength for the labours ahead.

Travel north up the slope between the rocky walls and you will find workers resting all along the path to the Hollin Gate, and there are more along the edge of the water before the Doors. Speak with Wárr at the Gate when you have done this, and he will have further tasks for you.'

The dwarf Wárr is at the Hollin Gate, supervising the workers there.

Now that you have delivered the lunches to the dwarf-workers along the road to the Hollin Gate, you should speak with Wárr for further engagement.

Objectives

• Talk to Wárr

Bósi is overseeing some of the waggons near the banks of the dried-up Sirannon, south of the road that winds up to the Hollin Gate.

Wárr has asked you to deliver a supply of broken pick-axes to Bósi and to request replacements.
