Player, I am fine! My injuries were not severe. I went looking for the Shadowed King. I believe he has entered the Shadowed Cave! It is open! Meet me there as soon as you can!

'There you are! This is the Shadowed Cave. It has been sealed for as long as anyone can remember, as far back as our records, and farther! I have never seen it like this! It cannot be a coincidence that this would open just as the Shadowed King is let loose! He must be inside! Quickly, let us go after him!'0/1

5 Speak toKing Thorin III (Show dialog)
You tell King Thorin of your victory over the Shadowed King, and he smiles with pride and relief.
'Thank you for your bravery, hero. You have undoubtedly saved us from a terrible fate. This incident has proven yet again that we must be ever watchful, for there are still terrible evils lurking in the depths, and secrets yet to be uncovered. We at least know the name of one now: Throkhâr. May the day never come that I must send you to defeat THAT monster.'0/1
