'You know I desire to take back Gundabad for my people, and it will not be long before I drive the Orcs from that sacred mountain. But I am no fool, ${PLAYER}! Too often the hasty stroke goes astray, or so they say, and I know any assault upon the Mountain-home must be carefully planned. To that end, I sent a number of scouts to the Wells of the Langflood, swift and true, and they have now returned.

'But they return with news not from the foot of Gundabad, but from the lands to the south! They bring word of a raiding-party set loose from Gundabad upon the inhabitants of Misthallow and the Floodfells. There are few enough of those, but if the Orcs move in those lands they will trouble any army that seeks to advance upon Gundabad. Someone must deal with this raiding-party.

'Do you know something, ${PLAYER}? I believe we might solve two problems with a single stroke! Why not send some of the troublesome Zhélruka or Stout-axes to confront this raiding-party? They will realize their true quarrel is with the Orcs, and during their absence some measure of peace may return to Skarháld. What were their names? Imák? Venko? Bring them the news of this task, and invite them to adventure on behalf of their people.'
