Danger in the Marshes

You have learned that the Orcs were sent into the Dead Marshes for some purpose. Did Frodo come this way, and does the Dark Master of the Orcs know of his passage?

Description
Stage 1
Stage 2

'I am troubled by the presence of the Orcs, ${PLAYER}, and I can tell by your expression that you are as well. Have they come here for the same reason that I have? I daresay they have some fell purpose, quite unlike that of the Ruling Steward, but still I must ask: how many reasons can there be to come to such a miserable land?

'Perhaps you can find some hint to their objectives by exploring this foul swamp, my friend. There are notable places to be found, of a certainty, but you must step carefully! Try searching to the north, north-west, and west of my camp, and you may find some clues to the Orc interest here. While you are at it, you might also find the entrance to the Orc camp, for I think it likely they have established one. Do not go inside just yet! But we should know where it might be found, wouldn't you say?

'I will search as well, and meet you back at this place. Walk with caution! I have found the footing to be treacherous.'

Artamir has asked you to investigate a number of different locations in the Dead Marshes, seeking some clue to the Orkish presence here. He asked you to seek out notable spots to the north, north-west, and west, and said he would do the same.

Objectives

Find the entrance to the Orc camp

You have found some interesting spots within the Dead Marshes, but few clues to the Orkish presence here. You should return now to Artamir's camp. Perhaps he found something of note.
