'The Orcs will not be able to make war upon us today, which is good. It allows us a moment of respite, though only a brief moment. They will have more catapults and siege-weapons built within days, and more siege-masters will pour out from the deeps.

'There is only one way to put an end to this camp. There is an Orc, Lûrkh, who is a master weapon-wright. It is his guiding hand that has made or directed all of the siege-weapons you have seen.

'Return to Drû-garmadh, to the south-east, and defeat Lûrkh. It is the only way the Dale will be safe.'

Dagfari is at Mekhem-bizru, north-west of Drû-garmadh.

Dagfari will want to hear of the defeat of Lûrkh and the end of the siege-camp.
