Ring Quest VII: The Nine: Shriekers

The Orcs of the Tower of Cirith Ungol called The Nine the “Shriekers.” As Tolkien described:

“Out of sight and shot they flew, and yet were ever present, and their deadly voices rent the air. More unbearable they became, not less, at each new cry. At length even the stout-hearted would fling themselves to the ground as the hidden menace passed over them, or they would stand, letting their weapons fall from nerveless hands while into their minds a blackness came, and they thought no more of war, but only of hiding and of crawling, and of death.” — The Return of the King

You are looking for a small pill holder. The log contains coordinates to a nearby marker with information you’ll need to find the One Ring.

Final Cache Coordinate Information – The Dwarf Song
“Far Over The Misty Mountains Cold” is a song sung by Thorin II Oakenshield and other Dwarves in The Hobbit. It has many verses, but begins:

Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away ere break of day
To seek the pale enchanted gold.

Click here to see all the lyrics and to see the song performed in The Hobbit movie.
At the coordinates printed on the log you will find a scene depicting mountains and a guitar, with the date, Feb N, 198P. You’ll need the values of N and P to find the final cache of the One Ring.
