'The half-orcs at Târ Stazg prepare for battle; one of the messengers out of Barad Morlas must have reached them sometime in the night.

'We cannot allow them to bring a force to bear at Barad Morlas. Assail their camp and reduce their numbers; it will be with a small host that they will issue forth to strengthen the battle.

'Târ Stazg lies north-east of Echad Dúnann along the mountains before the Redhorn Gate. Go as quickly as you can and return once their numbers have been reduced.'

Palanaer is in Echad Dúnann south-west of Târ Stazg.

You should return to Palanaer and tell him of the half-orc defeat.
