Bestowal dialogue

'Brave and skilled are the men under Frithstan, but they are no match for the sheer numbers of the Orc-horde. I fear that it may already be too late to aid them, but I must know for certain.

'If you have the courage, I would ask you to press onward into the territory of the Mountain-orcs to search for signs of my companions. Look among the Orc-tents and supply-crates for their belongings or for other evidence of their presence.'

Background

Penda fears for the fate of his missing allies. He now believes that they have battled into the territory of the Orcs who dwell in the mountain-caves.

Objective 1

The Orcs dwell near the mountains to the north-west of Penda's camp.

Penda has requested a search for evidence of his campmate's presence among the tents and crates of the Orc-tribe.

Penda: 'Search the Mor-hai camp thoroughly, there must be something there worth finding.'
There are only unremarkable Orc-tools in this crate
You have encountered a warrior who has been taken captive

Objective 2

  • Talk to the bound Rohirrim

Frithstan is bound to a pole among the Orc-tribe in the western Wailing Hills.

Speaking with Frithstan may reveal the fate of the missing Rohirrim.

Frithstan: 'An Orc you are not, and you are no Rohirrim...so who are you and what are you doing here? You say Penda sent you?
'Oh, thank you! I am Frithstan. My men and I were captured by the Orcs when we launched an assault against them.
'Look in the crate to my left and search for the Orc's key-ring.'

Objective 3

There is a crate near Frithstan in the western Orc-encampment.

Frithstan would you like to search the nearby crate for a set of keys.

You have found a set of rusty iron keys. You should show them to Frithstan

Objective 4

  • Talk to Frithstan and release him from his shackles

Frithstan remains bound in the western Orc-encampment in the Wailing Hills.

You have found the keys that he has asked you to look for.

Frithstan: 'The keys! You have found them! If I don such shackles never again, it will be too soon.
'Thankful am I for the pride of these Orcs. They were quite ill-prepared for your attempted rescue. It is shameful to have been captured by such beasts, but I am truly grateful for my release.'
