'I fear that we will meet the same fate as Balin's expedition if we do not prepare for battle, ${PLAYER}. If Ashpar is to be believed, the vengeance of Mazog, his host, may be swift.

'We cannot rest until we are prepared for the worst. We must be ready to meet this onslaught, and if we are lucky we will not be doomed as Balin was, whose road was yet unknown to him.

'My dwarves Slóthi, Sigdan, and Thálfi here in the Chamber of the Cross-roads must be told of the situation. You should do anything they ask to help them prepare for the coming storm. The Great Delving, at least, will be ready.'

Bósi is in the Chamber of the Cross-roads, at the southern entrance of Durin's Way, north of the Great Delving.

You have helped with the preparations to make the Great Delving ready for war and should report now to Bósi.
