Bestowal Dialogue

'I fear that the only way to save the rest of the Jatsakóri would be to defeat Ombátha in battle, though I do not know if we have the strength as things currently stand. At the moment Barkhûsh was defeated, his servants suffered a moment of weakness. I think perhaps some of their power came from him, and that when a sorcerer is defeated, their spells may unravel to some degree.

'I confess that I do not wish to face Ombátha. Just the thought strikes me with such dread that I begin to sweat, but I can think of no other way. Perhaps the Rangers have another idea?'

Background

Nabatínu worries that the only way to free the rest of the enthralled Jatsakóri may be to defeat Ombátha, which he fears may not be possible.

Objective 1

You should talk to Rhadrog about Nabatínu's theory that defeating Ombátha may allow the enthralled Jatsakóri to break free.

Rhadrog: 'It's an interesting theory, but I cannot guess whether or not it would work. One thing is certain, though, someone should scout that fort, Kôth Rau. Are the Ordâkhai and the Utûgi truly cooperating, or is there tension between them?
'If you would, <name>, go and take a look. No need to go rushing in all on your lonesome, but we should learn more about what's happening there.'

Objective 2

Rhadrog has asked you to scout Kôth Rau, the Ordâkhai stronghold in south-central An Shêru.

Kôth Rau still flies the banners of Sauron

Objective 3

You have come to Kôth Rau to scout out the situation at the Ordâkhai stronghold and found them flying the banners of Sauron, called Barkhûsh in this part of the world.

Banners destroyed (6/6)

Objective 4

  • Investigate the prisoners

As you destroyed banners of Barkhûsh at Kôth Rau, you noticed that they are holding prisoners here. You should assess the situation with the prisoners.

You see something glinting on the ground

Objective 5

As you got closer to some of the prisoners, a shiny glint of something metal on the ground caught your eye. You should pick it up.

You found a decorative brass button

Objective 6

You have done what you can for the moment at Kôth Rau. You should return to Gadim-ûn and discuss what you found with Nabatínu.

Nabatínu: You tell Nabatínu about the prisoners and show him the shiny button you found in the gravel.
'This is a curious find,' he says, looking closely at the button. 'I have not seen its like before, but I will ask the others.
'As for the prisoners, these Orcs; Utûgi, you called them? They have been patrolling the roads and attacking caravans, just as your friend Khagâmi experienced. They kill many, but they also take many prisoners. This must be where they bring them, but to what end, I do not know. I do not see them being turned into Jatsakóri, so it must be for some other evil purpose.'
