A bird squawks. Gandalf remarks that they are being watched.
Beorn: Yes. The Orcs will not give up. They will hunt the dwarves until they see them destroyed.
Gandalf: Why now? What has made the Defiler crawl from his hole?
Beorn: There is an alliance between the Orcs of Moria and the sorcerer of Dol Guldur.
Gandalf: Are you sure of this?
Beorn: Packs have been seen gathering there. Each day more and more come.
Gandalf: What do you know of this sorcerer. The one they call the Necromancer.
Beorn: I know he is not what he seems. Fell things are drawn to his power. Azog pays homage to him.
Thorin interrupts them and tells Gandalf they must leave. Gandalf turns to leave.
Beorn: There is more. Not long past word had spread that the dead had been seen walking near the high fells of Rhudaur.
Gandalf: The dead?
Beorn: Is it true? Are there tombs in those mountains?
