'This is not as simple a matter as it was with the Dourhands.... These Firehorns are not cruel or evil in their hearts, but the promise of a dwarf-ring's power has begun to chip away at their good sense!

'You and I saw what the Ring did to Frodo, even in the short span of months he bore it before our paths were forced apart! If Váskmun was forced to wear it in the dungeons of Barad-dûr during his imprisonment and then deprived of its power by Sauron, his mind may have withered into an obsession! Although, being a dwarf, I think he may have fared a bit better than Gollum!

'${PLAYER}, I do not wish to raise arms against Váskmun and his folk if it can be helped!

'Váskmun may not allow us inside the Oath-taker's Horn, but that does not mean we cannot come to the doors of the Spire! Ha!

'Go to the hidden gate of the Oath-taker's Horn and summon the Firehorns! Deliver them an invitation for King Greytooth to meet us upon the field!

'When that is done, we shall speak of peace... and of having some better dwarf-sense!'
