'The Ghâsh-hai are terrible creatures bred to harness and enjoy the touch of flame. At least this is what I can surmise about these Orcs.

'They glow like torches against the silent dark walls of Khazad-dûm, and I have seen many of these terrible foes enter the Grand Stair. We must do what we can to thin their number and destroy their hold in the depths.

'Enter the Grand Stair to the north-east of the Orc-watch and hunt their number down.'

Ossur is at the Orc-watch, south-west of the Grand Stair.

You should return to Ossur and inform him that you have defeated many of the Ghâsh-hai.
