Pre-emptive Measures

Bahanneth's scouts report that the Orcs of Fanuidhol may be preparing to attempt some sort of incursion or even a siege of Lothlórien. He has asked you to take some pre-emptive measures to disrupt their plans before they pose any real threat.

Description
Stage 1
Stage 2

'I am Bahanneth, the Quartermaster of this force. Are you here to help in our struggle against the Orcs? Our scouts have noticed that they are cutting a great deal of lumber -- likely for use in constructing fortifications and siege-engines. We must not stand by while such a threat develops!

'Were matters more urgent, I would ask you to burn those supplies, but as things are not yet that pressing, I would have you take these phials of liquid and apply it to their wood piles before they are finished curing. This will weaken the wood, rendering it useless for their purposes -- but without their knowledge.

'The Orcs have also recently brought a number of crates out from their stores deep in Moria -- I would like you to steal the contents of a number of these crates so that we can perhaps guess at what evils they are preparing.'

The lumber and crates are at the Orc-encampment of Drûmaudhul, north-west of Talan Fanuidhol.

Bahanneth has asked you to sabotage the lumber the Orcs have cut for their war-machines. He also wants you to steal the contents of the storage crates from their surrounding encampments.
