'By my beard, ${PLAYER}, it seems like you have been entrusted with news of our errand, and why not? Elrond seems to be wise enough, for an Elf; he seems to know good character from bad. But I am ready to put an end to this waiting. Give me goblin-skulls to cleave!

'If you are as sick of waiting as I am, why not bring this message to my father at his camp in the mountains? Ask him what he thinks of the likelihood that Gandalf might let us come to the halls of Balin, in Khazad-dûm. It could be that Balin found Thrór's ring somewhere in Moria! Now would that not be something?

'My father Glóin's camp is north of Rivendell, in the Misty Mountains.'

Gandalf is in Bilbo's room on the ground floor of the House of Elrond, in Rivendell.

Glóin has sent you to Gandalf to inquire about Moria and the ring of Thrór on behalf of Gimli.
