'Welcome to Nabgûn-mazaru, stranger. Are you a patron of the arts? I must confess to you that my hours are quite full, with a number of half-completed works already.

You tell Stáli that King Thorin did not send you to him with a task, but for information on the Greymaul Dwarves.

Durin returned and put Mótsog to death, and the rebellion was quelled.
'I have been restoring a mosaic of this very event, if you would like to see it. It is over there, against the wall. It was damaged during the residency of Smaug, and once I have finished repairing the stones I will return it to the hall where once it stood.

'That mosaic stood in the Hall Under the Mountain with many others for hundreds of years, but the coming of Smaug was not kind to any of them. Many of the stones were lost, and it has been a time-consuming process to recreate the mosaic as it was.
'But when Stáli the Hewer commits to such a project, he sees it through to the end!'0/1
