Quest: Instance: Unravelling the Thread

Objective One

• Talk to Strider

Strider and his kinsmen, Torthann and Lenglinn, have led you to the outskirts of the brigand camp. Strider beckons to you.

Strider: 'Can you feel the chill in the air? It is no natural cold, but the chill of fear, of evil. I doubt not that Amdir is here, but there is a greater evil as well.

'We should split our strength. For the good of Middle-earth, none can be allowed to escape. Lenglinn and I will look for another way inside, while you and Torthann search for Amdir.

'We must be quick now, before the evil bursts forth from here and threatens all of Bree-land.'

Strider says, "It is time for us to act."

 Strider says, "Torthann, take <player name> with you and head to the main gate."

Strider says, "Good. Lenglinn, let us go."

Strider told you to speak with Torthann when you are ready to begin your search for Amdir. Strider and Lenglinn will find a back way in.

Otto says, "No, no, no! Stay away!"

• Speak with Torthann

Torthann sensed the source of the brigands' fear in the southern corner of the camp. You should investigate.

Torthann: 'Who was that dwarf and what power has he to command wights? That the Blackwolds were in terror of that creature is certain, but I still sense something greater still in these ruins.

'And where is Amdir? Perhaps beyond that gate.'

Torthann says, "Come friend, this is not the end of our business here!" 

Torthann says, "I fear that foul dwarf is not the end of the evil here."

Torthann says, "Do not lose your nerve!"

Objective Eight

• Defend Torthann as he searches for Amdir

Nazgûl says, "Now, Amdir! Take on the robes of the Cargûl -- the Foresworn!"

Éogan says, "My Lords! The Rangers approach with fire!"

Nazgûl says, "The fools are too late. Amdir's change is nearly complete!"

Nazgûl says, "Come, brethren, we must leave. Now is not the time for such a fight."

Nazgûl says, "We leave Amdir and these fools in your care, Éogan!"

Éogan says, "Yes, my lord!"

Strider says, "You do not belong here, Nazgûl!"

Torthann: 'The very air seems polluted by this night's business. We should tarry here no longer.'
