'You should try talking to Mordrambor, Player. I know it is not pleasant, but if we can get more information about what Amarthiel has planned for Annúminas, we will be better for it!'1/1

'Thou sayest Amarthiel's emissaries art defeated? I read more in thine eyes than thou hast spoken. Perhaps their duties were already fulfilled, their missions completed? Aye, I read you a-right. But smile on, fool ${RACE} -- against Angmar and its regent there can be no hope for thee. She plans a new assault upon certain sites within the city, and thy Dúnedain friends cannot hope to stand against her.
'And yet...I will tell thee where these assaults will come the hardest. I greatly desire to hear thy weeping and the weeping of this fool Ranger when Amarthiel seizes the city in spite of thy meagre defences. But I will tell thee where the hammer will fall only if thou dost something for me.
'An Elf has come to this keep; he looked on me from afar when this fool Ranger brought me to this pathetic prison. This Elf is named Laerdan, and I would have thee bring him a message. The message is this: \qLaerdan, thy time is soon ended, thy mistakes soon accounted. Amarthiel awaits thee in Barad Tironn, where she will sit in judgement over thee.\q Thou shalt bring him these words, or thou shalt learn naught from me.'1/1

'Steel yourself against the words of Mordrambor, Player, for he is skilled in the tangling of thoughts, as are most of his kind. He will seek to confuse you with artful trickeries and misleading phrases, and through them lead you only into treachery. Remain alert to his subtleties, and he will be unable to hold any power over you!
'I have heard his message and ask that you now heed mine: do not relax your guard! Even imprisoned, a Black Númenórean is a dangerous foe, and he will lead us all to harm if we do not take care to guard against his devices!
'Return now to your prisoner and tell him that you have fulfilled your side of the bargain. And remember my words!'1/1

'I am glad to see thee return, my friend, for I know that thou hast delivered my message to Laerdan. I know too what he must have said to thee: \qSteel yourself to his words! Remain alert against his subtleties!\q
'What did thou callest thyself? Player? I give thee my thanks, Player, for upholding our bargain. I will now do the same.
'I will tell thee where the next assaults upon the city will come, friend Player.'1/1
