'Pssst...aye, you there! Nay, do not look at me! These Orcs are dim-witted, but even they will notice if they see you speaking to the air. I have many skills of the finest burglars, but I cannot make myself entirely invisible. I am skilled...but not as skilled as that!'

Maedal coos to herself quietly, then goes on.

'My friend Drafli Broadshield has gotten himself captured by the Orcs here on this hill. They have him in a cage a little further up, and I am stealthily keeping an eye on him by hiding in plain sight. They have not noticed me yet!

'Defeat some of the Orcs and Uruks on Amon Hen, if you are climbing the hill anyway. When it is time to make my move and rescue my friend, it will be a great help to have fewer of the creatures to cut through. I could get in and out sneakily, of course...but Drafli is not the quietest of dwarves.'

Maedal is on Amon Hen, hidden in plain sight.

You have defeated Orcs and Uruks on Amon Hen and should return now to Maedal to tell her of your successes.
