Bori's plan calls for a diversionary strike on the Eastern Road to draw the main force of White Hand Orcs out of Stazgnâkh so another group of dwarves can eliminate the leader.

Description
Stage 1
Stage 2

'One team of dwarves will lead a diversionary strike on an outpost on the Eastern Road in order to draw the main body of White Hand Orcs out of their camp, Stazgnâkh. At that time, a second group will stealthily enter Stazgnâkh and defeat the White Hand leader.

'I need information about these locations, ${PLAYER}: examine the strength of the force along the Eastern Road and become familiar with the layout of Stazgnâkh. I want you to collect barrels of black powder from within Stazgnâkh, and return them to me; we must deprive them of this dangerous weapon wherever we can! Investigate these locations and return to me with any information you discover.

'My father is always telling me that information is among a dwarf's mightiest weapons. How we wield the information you bring back will determine the success of my plan!'
