Objective 2 Talk to Thorgest Thorgest's dwelling is to the north-west of the worm-caves. You should return to Thorgest and inform him that Ruinuan is dead, slain by your hands. Thorgest: 'So...it is done at last, and my brother's memory is avenged. Thank you, <name>. It will be far easier to go on with business knowing that my debt to Thorkell no longer weighs so heavily upon my chest. 'What to do now, though? These mountains have grown ever more dangerous in these past few years, and Afwald is not the adventurous sort to join me on the hunt. Perhaps I will need to find a new partner, or give up the hunt at last? 'I've no patience for the comforts of civilization anymore -- I think I will stay here and take my chances with worm and wolf-man.'
