'I have been informed that King Isildur of Gondor plans to return to Díngarth in order to inspect the defences! As the master of fortifications, the responsibility falls to me to ensure that the king is satisfied by the state of them. But that is no easy task, for Díngarth was the first encampment we constructed after the Alliance pushed through the ruins of the Gate, seven years gone. It has been repeatedly assailed by the forces of Sauron, and rebuilt anew following the worst of the assaults.

'Isildur rules Gondor with his brother Anárion, at the behest of their father, the High King, and there is no end to the worries upon which they must dwell as the siege drags on. King Isildur would not trouble to return to Díngarth if he thought our business here unimportant. He must know, as I do, that if the forward positions of the Alliance are pushed back, Díngarth will become our only foothold in the Black Land. To face defeat after such cost of lives and years would be impossible to bear!

'So I ask you to gather wood and stone from around Díngarth and patch up the fortifications. You will impress King Isildur with the sweat of your brow and I shall impress him with my foresight and my leadership. Look too for resting soldiers and get them moving. To see such sluggards lazing about would surely offend the king's eyes. Go then, and see these tasks done!'

Ontamo has asked you to improve the fortifications at spots in need of repair in and around Díngarth.
