Still shaken by the sight of the creature beyond the gates, Dáin squints at you as you approach.

'Have you come to check on me, Hermáth? Hmph!'

He grumbles but spares you an uncertain smile.

'I always thought myself fearless. I have gone toe-to-toe with Orcs and trolls many times my size with nothing but the fire in my heart. But THAT foe... Durin's Bane! Standing in sight of just one such evil has shaken me to my core. Imagine an army of those fiends!

'You do not think me a coward, do you? I know you for a fierce warrior, Hermáth. I would have you go to the East Gate and feel the monster's presence for yourself! Then, at least, I will know I am not alone in my fear.'

You should return to Dáin and inform him that you did indeed feel the presence of the Balrog inside the gates of Moria.
