'I know that Gimli can handle himself in battle, but still I worry about him. If you can make your way to the Glittering Caves, I would ask that you do. Keep an eye on our friend. I fear that at times his desire for battle and the thirst of his axe may cloud his judgement. He may get in over his head.'

Aragorn laughs, an unusual sound over the din of battle.

'I ask that you do not repeat my unfortunate choice of words, ${PLAYER}. But if you do bring Gimli back to safety, I would be glad to relearn my manners at his request! The entrance to the caves is south of the Deeping Wall, where the stream runs down out of the mountains.'
