Desperate to learn more of Nori's passage into the Ered Mithrin, Dori hopes to parley with the Zhélruka that have come seeking their ancestral home of Dómekh.
'Ah, what brings a ${RACE} like you so far into the Grey Mountains?'
You explain to Zádokh Flint-eye that you seek a company of Longbeards that passed through the Grey Mountains and that you have also come in search of the remains of the cold-drake, Vethúg Wintermind.
'Zádokh Flint-eye is my name, and if you are in search of something, I will know where to find it. Indeed, the fates of those Longbeards and the cold-drake are known to me, but information of that sort is valuable... very valuable.
'I will offer it to you... for a price. The worms, drakes, and Dragons of the Grey Mountains have slowed my journey. If you were to remove some of them from my path, I could be convinced to share what I know.

'Drakes and worms? I think you misheard me, ${RACE}.
'I asked you to defeat dragons... not their feeble offspring! Do you expect me to part with any worthwhile information, and information about Longbeards no less, for such a pittance?
'You would have saved the both of us time if you had just handed me a bag of gold. In fact, why don't you do that?

'I had begun to think you continued to Thikil-gundu without us, Player! Did you learn anything of my brother or Vethúg Wintermind?'
You explain that Vethúg Wintermind crashed onto the foothills of the mountain, Winterstith, and left the Bitter Scar in his wake. You also mention that Nori's expedition passed through the old dwarf-hold of Skarháld in the Ered Mithrin.
'Skarháld lies upon the Men Angrún, but the matter of Vethúg Wintermind cannot be put off any longer.'0/1
