'Vitharr will be cleaning the grime off the canal for the next thirty years if he has abandoned his post! Search the unguarded Arming-cave for him, then report back to me! The Arming-cave is to the north-west, very near to the great statue of Thorin in the side of the mountain.'1/1

'Oooh, what happened? What am I doing inside the Arming-cave? I was standing guard just outside the door, like I always do, and then...'
'Ah, my head! Someone must have clubbed me and dragged me inside while they robbed the Arming-cave bare! This is terrible!
'That caved-in passage must be how they got in. Someone spent a long time digging that tunnel, I'd wager. Hurry back to Captain Unnarr and tell him what happened. Tell him also that it won't happen again! I'm sure it won't help matters, but please tell him that I wasn't sleeping at my post. I don't know how this could have happened... and on my shift!'1/1

'We've been burgled? This is outrageous! There was a lot of valuable gold and weapons in that cave, and we won't be replacing it any time soon. There's hardly an ounce of anything but stone and iron in these mountains!
'That caved-in passage might provide the clue we need to catch these burglars, Player. They won't have gone far. They might be trapped beneath the rubble, and more importantly, the gold might be there too! I'll have some dwarves begin clearing it away. It will be a good first assignment for Vitharr... give him time to think about how dirty the canal can get.
