Mótsog has told you that he will walk in the world for only one more day before his long life is spent, and he wants to do what he can for the friend he once betrayed.
Mótsog addresses you once again.
'I deem you are his close advisor. Advise him then of this: I will walk in the world for only one more day before my long life is spent. When the sun sets on this day, my breath will be stilled and I will disappear from this place, never to return. In that time I have but one desire. I wish to do whatever my friend commands, for the vigil of so many years has given me this knowledge: Durin is the rightful king of the dwarves.
'He was my first friend, my dear companion, and having made him an enemy I mourned the brother I lost. Now in the span of the single day I have remaining to me I will do what I can to deliver him his kingdom.'
Durin stands in Mótsog's Tomb far below Gundabad, trying to decide what is to be done.
