Stage 1
Stage 2

'I have thought much on Ambassador Spakorth's words....

'These Stout-axes have fled oppression and devastation, and now I hear there are dwarves in Erebor who would sooner spit on them than welcome them as friends. This is not the way of Durin's Folk. The Stout-axes are our kin, whether they believe it so or not, and they must be treated as such.

'You and Gimli know well what the Stout-axes have suffered, and you know their minds as none among us do. Speak to the mistrustful few among us, and reassure them that the Stout-axes come to us as refugees and friends.'

Mistrustful dwarves can be found in the Hall Under the Mountain and outside Erebor.

After learning that several dwarves are having misgivings about welcoming the Stout-axes into Erebor, King Thorin III has asked you to speak to mistrustful dwarves on the Stout-axes' behalf.
