Find the Missing Dwarves

At the bottom of your descent will be the Deep Grotto, with hostile undead standing around. Defeat the undead and continue forward, using Harding's magic to open any blocked pathways.

Free the First Dwarf

Past the first stone slab will be a red rock, interact with it to free the dwarf trapped inside, and speak to them before continuing.
