'The Orcs may call it Lugroz, but to us those high places are known as the Welkin-lofts. Climb up there, slaying any of the Orcs you encounter, and see if the path to the summit is as Glúrkub described.

'If there is no such weapon-rack, we will know his story for what it is: full of lies. But if he does tell the truth, and there is such a place for Gorgar to leave the mithril hammer when he is summoned by the Dragon... well, in that case, see if there is a hiding place nearby. I may have the beginning of a plan.'
