The great force of dwarves is ready for the assault, with more arriving every day. Now Durin seeks to formulate a battle plan that will bring this force across Elderslade to Gundabad.
'We have the fighting spirit, my friend, but we will need more than that if we are to reclaim Gundabad. We need information! To that end, I dispatched Thálfi the scout to be my eyes and ears in Elderslade. Look for him beside the river just to the north-west of Annâk-khurfu and help him survey the location of the enemy forces among the foothills.
'My army will need to cross Elderslade before we can wage war upon the gates of Gundabad, and I want to know what we are up against beforehand!
'Biraisbij tharâkh, my friend. Biraisbij tharâkh.'
Thálfi is beside the river just north-west of Annâk-khurfu, preparing to scout the mountainous region in advance of the assault.
Thálfi sent you to add three locations to the parchment he gave you: two old dwarf ruins to the north-west and south-west, and a warg camp further north-west.
Thálfi is at Zudramdân, the forward camp of Durin's great force. Zudramdân is north-east of the lake that borders the foothills of Elderslade.
Thálfi wanted you to add the Angmarim presence at Caivád Sâr to your map, and to defeat any of the cultists that cross your path. Caivád Sâr is to the north of Zudramdân.
Thálfi is at Zudramdân, the forward camp of Durin's great force, south of Caivád Sâr.
