Background
Scout Klúso has an interesting report to share: Relations between the Orcs and hobgoblins may have finally reached a tipping point...
Objective 1
Klúso is ready to describe what he saw earlier.
You should talk to Klúso.
- Klúso: 'I was scouting near Bazan-medan, the gate to the Clovengap, when I heard the stomping of many heavy feet.'
Objective 2
- Listen to the conversation
Klúso is describing what he saw transpire between the hobgoblins and ice-giants.
You should listen to the conversation.
- I quickly hid, for I knew I would be unable to face the number of Orcs I was hearing by myself!
- Warlord Dushtalbúk says, "This way. The drakes said the giants' hold is on the other side of the mountain."
- Giants? I followed behind the hobgoblins as closely as I could without being seen.
- Ice-giant Elder says, "Who approaches the gates of Thyrstáth?"
- Warlord Dushtalbúk says, "The Frost-bound have come to parley, ice-giants."
- Warlord Dushtalbúk says, "War has come to Gundabad, and you must choose a side."
- Warlord Dushtalbúk says, "Swear yourselves to Hrímil Frost-heart, and to ME, or be counted among our enemies."
- Ice-giant Elder says, "We have lived in these mountains for generations, hobgoblin. The drakes threaten our borders, and now you have come threatening us with war?"
- Ice-giant Warrior says, "Why bring these Angmarim with you? Their treacherous kind is not welcome here."
- Ice-giant Elder says, "The tale of Storvâgûn reached even these high peaks."
- Warlord Dushtalbúk says, "Rrgh. I am losing my patience-"
- Loknashra says, "Allow me to handle the diplomacy, Warlod."
- Loknashra says, "We ask to meet with your chieftain in peace to discuss these matters. The Angmarim offer power to their new friends. I can personally attest to that."
- Ugarad the Harbinger says, "We wish only to live in peace and prosperity under the reign of the dragon."
- Ice-giant Elder says, "As you wish. this way."
- The hobgoblins began to head inside, but then I heard more Orc-stomping coming down the path!
- Warlord Dushtalbúk says, "What now?!"
- Nargákh the Unyielding says, "Stand aside, hobgoblins. We have come to remove the ice-giants from this area."
- Warlord Dushtalbúk says, "REMOVE them? By whose order?"
- Nargákh the Unyielding says, "G-Gorgar the Ruthless!"
- Warlord Dushtalbúk says, "He has finally grown spine enough to oppose me? So be it."
- Warlord Dushtalbúk says, "Frost-bound, remove the Orcs from this area. Protect the ice-giants. By order of Warlord Dushtalbúk."
- Warlord Dushtalbúk says, "Deal with these cretins for me, Ufmazat."
- Ice-giant Elder says, "War has come to Gundabad, indeed."
- Klúso: 'It wasn't long after that the hobgoblins and Orcs started fighting. I think they're still fighting right now!'
