Scout Snowhunter will brief you on the situation before sending you through the Hidden Tunnel.
:''"I'm glad you're here. We were worried we'd missed our opportunity. The other scouts report that Fildgor's flank is undefended."
:How do we use that to our advantage?
:"Go talk to Thane Mera. She led a small team up through this pass and into Skuldafn. We need to find a way to get the rest of the soldiers through the pass without drawing the attention of the Stormfists."
:I'll meet up with Thane Mera.
:"Skuldafn is extremely defensible. It won't be easy to get our army up there. Still, Fildgor the Exile won't wait for us to get into position. He has his own timetable to keep, I'm sure. Good luck up there."
:I understand. Thanks.'''

Enter the Hidden Tunnel and pass through it. On the other side, you'll find that you're in a secluded area within the Skuldafn dragonshrine. Thane Mera Stormcloak and several of her scouts are hiding down here. Speak with Thane Mera.

:''"We're waiting for King Jorunn and his troops to arrive, but Fildgor has his own agenda. He's moving fast and I don't think the army is going to show up in time. But I've got a few ideas on how to slow him down."
:What's your plan?
:"Fire. Nothing causes more chaos than a raging fire. Scares even the most dim-witted, hard-headed Nords. The carts the Stormfist brought are full of weapons, food, and other gear. Set them ablaze and start a panic. That should slow them down a bit."
:Then what should I do?
:"Light the signal fire. That's the sign the King's troops are waiting for before they make their final push up the mountain. That said, I still don't think they'll make it in time. You need to reach Fildgor and slow him down. Good luck."''

Your first task is to burn the Stormfists' supplies. The supplies are scattered throughout Skuldafn in covered wagons. You can identify a specific cache by peering inside the cart and looking at its contents. The food cart has spices and food in it, the mead cart has mead bottles, and the weapons cart has weapons in it. Be careful entering the premises, as there are oil traps on the road to the first wagon.

The weapons cart is likely the first one you'll come across. Head up the stairs from Thane Mera's location and the weapon stockpile is sitting in a camp near an orcish tent. Burn the weapon stockpile, then head towards the food stockpile, which is in a cart next to a wall. The mead stockpile is located along a ledge in the ruins. Once you've burned the supplies, head towards the signal fire and light it. The signal fire is on a ridge near the Skuldafn Tombs, which are up the big staircase. When you reach the door to the tombs, turn left and keep going. The signal fire is located on the ridge at the end of the building.

Enter the Skuldafn Tombs once the signal fire is lit. Inside, you'll find the weakened spirit of Queen Nurnhilde, who bears ill news.
