Bestowal Dialogue

'I understand you have a report for the prince? Do not let me keep you, my reliable friend!

'And continue to keep your eyes open for any relics that might be of interest to me!'

Background

Having searched Deepscrave on behalf of Stáli the Hewer, you should now continue to carry out your work for Prince Durin.

Objective 1

Durin is at Maergrind, the Noble Gate, in Máttugard.

Durin: 'You have returned from Deepscrave? How fares the Berg-beam?'
You tell Durin what you observed during your investigation of the large cavern and the pillar of stone descending within it.
'The Berg-beam remains strong, then? Good, good! For the Pillar of the Mountain to retain its stability even after so many centuries of Orc degradation seems a marvel to me. But perhaps it should not surprise me so, for I feel the presence of some enchantment upon the Mountain-home: an enchantment that preserves it from Orkish abasements. Have you not noticed the remarkable resilience of the walls of Gundabad, an unwillingness to suffer the marks of Orc-filth?
'That may be so, but still the Orcs have lived beneath the mountain for many years, and the refuse in which they dwelt may hold useful information for those seeking to combat them. Scour their homes and persons in Deepscrave for useful records, and bring them to me when your search is done.'

Objective 2

Durin has asked you to search Durshulot in Deepscrave to learn what you can about Gorgar the Ruthless and his rule of the Orcs.

Among the papers you find a diary containing goblin scribbles
Kurizg says, "You don't belong here!"
You have recovered a record of the Frost-horde's takeover
Gashrak says, "It was a mistake for you to come here!"
You found a litany of Orkish complaints

Objective 3

  • Bring the readable pages you recovered to Durin at Maergrind

Durin is at Maergrind, the Noble Gate, in Máttugard.

Durin: 'You found a great deal of information among the dwellings of the Orcs, I see! I shall peruse these as soon as I am able. I am not accustomed to... so much reading, and in such unpleasant Orkish handwriting, no less!
'Still, I am sure there will be information of use within these papers, and I thank you for finding and delivering them to me.'
Trausti arrives suddenly and calls for your attention

Objective 4

  • Talk to Trausti at Maergrind in Máttugard

Trausti has suddenly arrived and called for your attention. What has happened?

Trausti: 'I beg you excuse my interruption, Prince Durin, but I bring urgent news for <name>.
'My student Eskil Bloodthumb has been captured by Orcs!'
