'If we are to advance from Máttugard, we will need to do something about the city the Orcs have established here. Shakhajât, it is called, and long has it stood among the broken teeth of the Pit of Stonejaws. It was here that Bolg mustered the force that met its end before the gates of the Lonely Mountain in the Battle of Five Armies, but I do not know what it is like within its walls today.

'We need to draw the attention of its defenders so some of us can get inside and cause some trouble! Who volunteers? Imák? Bróin? Will the two of you blast a great signal upon horns of battle, drawing forth the hobgoblins that reside within the city?'

Bósi is outside Shakhajât. Given Bróin's discomfort with the plan, perhaps you should volunteer in his stead?

Objectives

• Talk to Bósi

Bósi has agreed that you can carry out Bróin's part of the plan: climbing either the left or right slope around the fortress and using a discarded horn of battle to draw forth some of the hobgoblins from Shakhajât.

Objectives

• Use a horn of battle on one of the slopes to either side of the fortress to draw forth and defeat hobgoblin defenders of Shakhajât
