Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'The odds may be great against us, but it does not mean that I am ready to give up. I have a plan that will allow us to traverse the hills unnoticed. 'Search the slag for any black powder. There may be some within the rubble, thrown out the gate from the scrap mounds in Udûn.' Background Thurindol has a plan, but needs black powder from the scrap scattered about the Slag-hills in order to proceed. Objective 1 Search rubble for black power (0/8) Black powder may be found within the rubble surrounding the Slag-hills. You should collect black powder for Thurindol. Objective 2 Bring the black powder to Thurindol Thurindol can be found at a small Ranger outpost hidden in the Slag-hills. You should return to Thurindol with the black powder you gathered. Thurindol 'Ah excellent. Yes, this powder is just what we need. I suppose you would like to know what this plan entails then?'
