'No... No! I can't go back! Not after we've travelled so far!'

You try to calm the Nurnhoth and explain that you mean him no harm.

'Ah, I see. I am sorry, but when you have slaved for the Eye as long as myself and my companions, it is easy to see everyone as a foe. You see, my companions and I were on our way through a hidden pass out of Mordor, but we became separated. After all, it was not a swamp the last time we were sent here to gather ore from the caverns!

'Something broke loose in those mountains when the Master's tower fell, I think, and now there's foetid water all about!

'I cannot leave without my companions, but I have not the means to rescue them myself. These rags cannot defend against the blades of Orcs or the bites of spiders! Will you aid them and send them here to me?

'Once that is done, we can leave this sorry land behind....'

You have aided many of the Nurnhoth lost and endangered in the shallows of Dath Nethryn.
