Dwarves: Into the Silver Deep | Walkthrough LotRO: First Steps Guide

Your adventure begins in Ered Luin, in an area known as Thorin's Gate. Talk to Gloin and go where he told you to (it's marked on your mini-map by a golden ring), then enter the mine. Talk to Gimli here. Follow the tunnel until you meet Otur, who is fighting with a small creature. Speak with him and take a weapon from a satchel nearby. Equip it, and then talk to the dwarf once more. Follow him. You'll see a scene in which one of the miners unleashes a troll. Talk to Otur and he'll open a gate for you. Go through it. You'll now face your first enemies - Cave-Claws.

Go through the tunnel, beating 5 creatures total. You'll see Gimli fighting with a troll - when you approach him, Gandalf will appear and save the day. Talk to the wizard to finish this instance (instance is a story-driven quest in which you are outside the basic game world and don't meet other players).
