Meeting the Quartermaster
"With Shúkurz's help, you have made it into Vatug-ronk without a scratch. The mission is far from over, however. There is no telling whether your guise of being a prisoner will fail, or if you will even learn of Dhúrstrok's location at all..."
Background
Shúkurz has brought you deep into Vatug-ronk, with the hope of learning Dhúrstrok's location.
Objective 1
Shúkurz waits for you a little ways into the tunnel.
- Shúkurz says, "First things first, don't start a fight."
- Shúkurz says, "Haven't got a death wish, have you? Because I don't!"
- Shúkurz says, "Even YOU can't fight off a cave full of Orcs. They'd kill me too!"
- Shúkurz says, "And then you'd have to kiss any chance you had of finding Dhúrstrok goodbye."
- Shúkurz says, "I don't plan on dying in Gundabad! No matter what, I'm getting out of here."
- Shadows shift in the periphery of your vision, but there is nothing there
Objective 2
Shúkurz might have seen what you saw. It wouldn't hurt to ask him.
- You tell Shúkurz of the shadows you saw.
- Shúkurz: 'But- but if anyone had been in that tunnel, we would've seen them.
- '...now I'LL be jumping at shadows! Okay, just keep your head down- we'll be in and out fast.'
Objective 3
You should continue following Shúkurz.
- Deepscrave Black-arrow says, "Shúkurz?"
- Deepscrave Black-arrow says, "Oi! That's the bugger who set those traitors free!"
- Shúkurz says, "The one who rescued those dwarves at the forge too."
- Deepscrave Black-arrow says, "Is that why you disappeared? We thought you were maggot-food!"
- Shúkurz says, "Y-Yeah... been trying to catch this <race>."
- Deepscrave Black-arrow says, "Well... don't keep the boss waiting."
- Shúkurz says, "Hear that, <race>? Don't keep him waiting!"
- Brukshar says, "Hah! Would you look at that? I thought you were lying!"
- Brukshar says, "You captured the <race> alone?"
- Brukshar says, "I don't believe it. You didn't even have the guts to stand against Gorgar with your buddies!"
- Shúkurz says, "I-"
- Brukshar says, "Backed out like the coward you are."
- Shúkurz says, "I captured them alone. I'll prove it!"
- Brukshar says, "Gather 'round, boys! Shúkurz's about to put on a show."
Objective 4
The Orcs are eager for a fight.
You should try to communicate with Shúkurz... somehow.
- Shúkurz adopts a shaky fighting stance. His eyes dart towards your weapons, but he gives a subtle nod.
Objective 5
- Fight Shúkurz
- Do not stray too far from Brukshar
Shúkurz is trying to feign a believable fight.
You should play along, but stay close to Brukshar while fighting.
- Brukshar says, "Don't take the fight too far form me, you hear? Or I might start to think that you're actually a coward!"
- Shúkurz says, "Don't disappoint me, <race>!"
- Brukshar says, "Alright, alright, you've proven your point. What d'you even want?"
- Brukshar says, "-Oi, show's over! Get back to work!"
Objective 6
Brukshar has called off the fight.
You should continue following Shúkurz.
- Shúkurz says, "A reward!"
- Shúkurz says, "Tell Gorgar I've found the <race> who botched his weapons supply and set traitors free."
- Brukshar says, "Just going to march up to Gorgar and make your demands?"
- Brukshar says, "...maybe you've got more guts than I thought."
- Brukshar says, "You want to know the way to Dhúrstok? Well, here it is."
- Brukshar says, "But mark my words: if anything seems funny or off about any of this..."
- Brukshar says, "You'll end up worse off than your buddies did."
- Brukshar says, "And now that they've been freed, you'd better hope they don't come back to find you."
- Shúkurz says, "Get moving, <race>. You'll make a pretty gift for Gorgar."
- Light footsteps follow you, echoing down the tunnel, but nobody is there
- Shúkurz says, "Phew!"
Objective 7
You and Shúkurz have managed to obtain Dhúrstrok's location, all while escaping with your lives. But you've been noticing strange things...
You should talk to Shúkurz.
- Shúkurz: 'Well, that went better than I expected! I was sure we were dead meat, but you put up a believable fight. And look- we got a map to Dhúrstrok! Wow, it's all the way up in the catwalks. Bet the old lifts could take us there.'
- You tell Shúkurz about the footsteps you heard on your way here. He quickly inspects your surroundings.
- 'Can't say I saw or heard anything strange. And you didn't see anyone, right? I think we should be okay.'
- Shúkurz: 'It's time you folks let me go- I've had enough of Gundabad.'
