Mótsog has told you that he will walk in the world for only one more day before his long life is spent, and he wants to do what he can for the friend he once betrayed.
Mótsog waits quietly for Durin's decision, and says nothing.0/1

'I am conflicted, Player. I am grateful to know now without doubt that I am he who I wished to be... but Mótsog's part in this discovery does not erase his treachery, nor will it cause me to forgive his misdeeds.
'I must think upon what is to be done.'0/1

'I have decided, Player.
'Were I not to be king when my father leaves the throne, I could say to Mótsog, \qBe gone. Let the sun set upon you, and trouble no longer the dwarves.\q That would even be just, for the wrongs of the Greymaul Rebellion did not abate when the Sunder-battle ended. No, the injuries left by that conflict remain with us. Do Zhélruka and Longbeard not bristle at the perceived slights of the other, and ponder if something of the Greymaul spirit lives on behind their rival's clenched teeth? Do they not look upon the Stout-axe with distrust, brooding upon his long habitation in Mordor? The lesson of Mótsog was taught to the dwarves early, and did not diminish with the years.
'Were I not to be king when my father releases the crown, I could climb the secret stair to the known levels of Gundabad, leaving Mótsog and what I learned here behind. But I cannot, for I will have the concerns of a king, as I did six times before. Mótsog is a tool to be used, Player, and I will wield this tool against our foes. I will use him to wrest control of the Mountain-home from both Orc and Dragon.
'Surely Hrímil Frost-heart will remember the Greymaul leader who injured her during the Sunder-battle, and without the power of the dragon behind him, the Gabil'akkâ will be able to deal with Gorgar.'
Durin once again addresses the impassive figure in the hidden chamber.
'What say you, Mótsog? Will you spend your last day fighting for the dwarves you once betrayed? I do not command you; I only ask it of you.'0/1

Mótsog nods solemnly at Durin.
'I swear to fight for you, my friend of old, my king, for as long as I am able. I will deliver to you control of the kingdom I once stole, and if the last rays of the sun vanish behind the mountain before I seize your victory, I will perish with sorrow in my heart, and none before or since will know such grief as I know in my failure.'0/1

'Well, Player, it seems the conquest of Gundabad will succeed or fail by nightfall. Let us hope we will celebrate the victory before the sun sets on this day!
