Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue '<name>, as we expected, we found another enemy encampment here in the Dourstocks; however, something seems to be terribly wrong. There are not enough goblins and Orcs in Burgûl-stazg to mount any kind of counterattack against Echad Sirion, and more goblins are deserting everyday. 'Perhaps you could go out into the Dourstocks between here and Burgûl-stazg and see if you can find any of the deserters. You might be able to learn what has them so terrified. 'When you learn something, return to me.' Background The Elves of the Golden Host discovered a second enemy encampment on the western edge of the Dourstocks, but something seems to be wrong. Objective 1 Defeat goblin-deserters in the Dourstocks (0/3) Goblin-deserters can be found in the Dourstocks, between Echad Mothelen and Burgûl-stazg, to the north-west. Mothelen has asked you to hunt down some of the goblin-deserters and discover what has terrified them. Mothelen: 'Something queer is occuring here, <name>. Keep your eyes sharp and your wits about you.' Goblin-deserter says, "AAAAAAAAHHHHH! Are you dead?" Goblin-deserter says, "Dead Men don't belong here!" Goblin-deserter says, "Death is better than Burgûl-stazg!" Goblin-deserter says, "Hahahah...I am free!" Goblin-deserter says, "I will not suffer for the dead Men!" Goblin-deserter says, "I won't be a sacrifice for Grishbugud!" Goblin-deserter says, "You can't make me go back!" Goblin-deserter says, "Let me out of here...!" Goblin-deserter says, "Grishbugud is mad! I won't go back to Burgûl-stazg!" Goblin-deserter says, "No! I won't go back!" Nervous Goblin says, "What do you want! Leave me alone!" Nervous Goblin says, "Grishbugud must give it back! It belongs to the dead Men!" Objective 2 Talk to Mothelen at Echad Mothelen Mothelen is at Echad Mothelen in the western Dourstocks, south-east of Burgûl-stazg. You should return to Mothelen with the information you have gathered. Mothelen: 'This becomes more mysterious. From what you say, it appears the leaders of the encampment are up to something that has even the goblins unnerved. We shall need to learn exactly what that is....'
