Ambassador Spakorth wishes to offer the finely-honed skills of Stout-axe rune-carvers to Erebor.
'Hail, ${PLAYER}! What did King Thorin have to say?'
You explain that King Thorin has welcomed the Stout-axes to dwell within Erebor, but he also wishes for the Stout-axes to contribute to Durin's Folk in return to his mercy.
'I am... overwhelmed. Such kindness has never been given to my folk, and the terms he has offered are more than fair. To live and work among the Dwarves of Erebor would be an honour!
'I have heard that many of the Dwarves of Erebor are fond of crafting the mountain itself. If you were to gather loose stones from the slopes of Erebor, our rune-carvers could shape them into rune-stones for the King and his folk.
'Gather as many as you can bear, and bring them to our rune-carvers. They will know what to do!'
