Bestowal Dialogue

'If you wish to aid us, <name>, perhaps you should first speak to Skálo. We were fortunate enough to capture one of the Dourhands when we first laid siege to Grúmachath, but he has proven... strong-willed.

'It is certain he knows at least some of the plans the Iron Crown has for Mount Gundabad, and we must know what he knows!

'In the meantime, I shall speak with Múta about our next course of action against the Iron Crown. She is quite clever... for one of the cousins of the Kámbrada!

'Skálo and the prisoner are just over yonder. Go on!'

Background

After capturing a Dourhand, the Zhélruka at Grúmachath seek to undermine the Iron Crown in Câr Bronach.

Objective 1

Skálo and the Dourhand prisoner can be found at Grúmachath in Câr Bronach.

After capturing a Dourhand warrior, Mézto hopes to undermine the Iron Crown. You should find Skálo and the Dourhand prisoner at Grúmachath.

As Skálo looks on, the Dourhand warrior strains against his shackles

Objective 2

  • Talk to Skálo at Grúmachath

Skálo can be found at Grúmachath.

You have found Skálo and the Dourhand prisoner at Grúmachath. You should talk to Skálo.

Skálo: 'Mézto sent you, did he?
'This one hasn't given me much, aside from his name: Rethvárd. Of course, I haven't been as... convincing as I would like to be!'
Skálo glares at Rethvárd.
'You are free to speak to him, <name>, but I would not expect him to answer. If he continues to hold his tongue, I have other ways of making him talk!'

Objective 3

Rethvárd can be found at Grúmachath.

After finding little success questioning his prisoner, Skálo has invited you to speak to Rethvárd. You should talk to Rethvárd.

Rethvárd: 'Ah, <name>. Our paths cross at last!'
Rethvárd chuckles to himself.
'Lord Brathar told us all about you- how you and the Longbeards slew Skorgrím at Gabilazan. A compelling tale, to be sure, but I knew better. That thing was not Skorgrím! It was the sorcery of Angmar given flesh!
'When I told Lord Brathar the truth of it, his fury could hardly be contained. At first, he could not believe it, but as Angmar grew weaker in the absence of its steward, he saw the Angmarim for what they truly were: power-hungry lickspittles that rob and abuse all peoples they deem inferior.
'We may appear to serve the Iron Crown, but only until our vengeance is done. In truth, we Dourhands ought to thank you for returning our king of old to rest!
'And so, I offer you a gift in good faith- a gift of information.'

Objective 4

Rethvárd can be found at Grúmachath.

In exchange for your aid in revealing the treachery of Angmar to the Dourhands, Rethvárd has offered you information about the Iron Crown. You should talk to Rethvárd and aid him with his tasks.

Skálo: 'Oh, he'll talk to you, will he? Bah!'

Objective 5

Rethvárd can be found at Grúmachath.

You have aided Rethvárd and hindered the Iron Crown in their efforts to raise the Dead of Câr Bronach. You should return to Rethvárd at Grúmachath.

A wounded Skálo lays beside a now-barren post. Rethvárd has escaped!

Objective 6

  • Talk to Skálo at Grúmachath

Skálo can be found at Grúmachath.

After returning from the tasks Rethvárd set for you, you have found Skálo wounded and Rethvárd nowhere to be found. You should talk to Skálo.

Skálo: 'Clever rat!
'Rethvárd must have freed himself while I was not looking. He caught me unawares when I brought him bread. Dourhands must truly have no shame!
'Was what he told you true at least? Of Skáilag? Of Toll Oivas? Have you made the Iron Crown suffer?'
You tell Skálo that you managed to defeat powerful Angmarim and put an end to their plans.
'At least not all of it was lies then! But, I fear our problems are just beginning...'
