Celeborn has sent a number of Elves to assist the dwarves in Moria, and you have promised Gimli that you will continue to lend your aid in the Mines as well.
'I wish I could return and help the Iron Garrison with their efforts to reclaim Moria, but I will not abandon Frodo. My road lies with him.
'I will greatly appreciate it if you can lend your aid to the Iron Garrison. Travel to the Chamber of the Cross-roads near Durin's Way, in Moria, and speak to Bósi. Tell him I cannot return, but that you will continue to help with their efforts.'1/1

'Welcome back to Khazad-dûm, Player. I am disappointed that Gimli did not return with you, but I am sure he had his own reasons. His father Glóin has long been a close friend of my father and Brogur's father, and Gimli surely retains the honour of his forebears.
'This is my first dealing with Celeborn of Lothlórien, and I must confess I am not sure what to make of him. He has sent a number of Elves to help us, and while I appreciate the assistance, they seem perhaps too eager to blame the dwarves for all troubles, both present and past.
'They have established a camp with one of my dwarves, Orvar Bellhammer, in a newly-excavated passage off Durin's Way: Buzun-ghâr. It is located in the very south-eastern corner of Tharâkh Bazân, in the southern wall, right near the exit from those gardens. You will find Tharâkh Bazân to the north-east of this chamber; yes, the tree-filled area on your map there. Journey there and lend Orvar your aid -- he is having... difficulties... getting along with these Elves.'1/1

'I am glad you're here, Player. These Elves have been sent by Celeborn for the purpose of helping us drive the evil out of Khazad-dûm, so they say, but they seem much more interested in casting blame about than in doing anything helpful!
'This cavern, Buzun-ghâr, was found shortly after you departed, and many of my folk were impressed by the state of it. The gardens still thrive! At least, up here they do; something rots and corrupts the plant-life as you descend.
'But while we could use some real help in clearing the cave of danger, instead these Elves speak often of \qdigging too deeply\q and \qdisturbing things best left undisturbed.\q If this is the best Celeborn has to offer, I'd rather he kept them in the woods!
'You talk to Corunothiel, Player, and see if I'm wrong. You'll see I am not!'1/1

'Listen to me, Player, for this Orvar will not listen to reason. Some evil lives at the bottom of this cavern, and if this place is not sealed away the evil may spread.
'This is always the way of dwarves! Why must they always dig into places they were not meant to go? Will they not be satisfied until no evil remains beneath the stone, and all have come to the surface to lay waste to the homes of the Elves and other good people?'1/1
