Beasts of various origins have been causing problems for the dwarves in the Misty Mountains, including Hrimdyr, who ambushes wary explorers on the high mountain pass.
'Some creatures in these mountains are quite dangerous, but none are as deadly as Hrimdyr.
'Hrimdyr may not be as strong as a giant, but it hunts from snowdrifts and in blinding snows. You never see the creature coming until it is too late!
'I could use your skills in dealing with this dangerous creature.'
Hrimdyr can be found somewhere in The Misty Mountains.
You should defeat Hrimdyr.
Authi can be found in Glóin's Camp in the Misty Mountains.
You should speak with Authi.
