'Zhúdo sent you, did he? I assure you... I have my task well in hand.

'You have fought beside the Commander before, haven't you? Glóin's tasks are wise in the way of war, and I mean him no disrespect, but he does not think like a Zhélruka.

'I have learned much of the forces at the encampments here before the old gates. I have marked every weakness in their defences, noted every loose stone on the steps of Gundabad, but such things are obvious to those who wish to see them. No, to think like a Zhélruka would mean to see the Orcs' misplaced trust in their own beasts!

'The frost-tusks these Orcs keep are proud, mighty beasts... not mere pets! They have been trained well enough, but they would sooner wander off without those posts tying them down. And that is the way of the Zhélruka!

'Free these frost-tusks from their would-be masters and we shall see if they truly wish to serve Gorgar!'

Rádek can be found near the gates of Mount Gundabad.

You have freed several frost-tusks from their hitching posts at Hanksar-mokh and Kulûg-mokh. You should return to Rádek.
