Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue Welcome, <class>. We are strangers here, among these strange dwarves. I have followed them at King Thorin's behest, as perhaps you have, too, to keep a wary eye upon all they do. 'Only now I have come not so much to fear what they do as to fear for them. They have stubbornly insisted on making camp among these ruins. They busy themselves with building anew, and seem little to fear for the many, many things around, above, and below that might do them harm. Have they no memory? No tales of what once dwelled here and made war with dwarves of their line and ours? 'Will you go about and patrol the lookouts of Skarháld, <name>? It would put me greatly at ease.' Background Agátur, sent by King Thorin to watch the Zhélruka, fears that Skarháld is ill-defended and unsafe. Objective 1 Patrol Lookout spots in Skarháld (0/8) You should patrol lookout spots in Skarháld. A cold-drake descends upon you! Your mighty blow defeated the Cold-drake. This is a good lookout to patrol You peer into the distance. Patrolled a lookout spot (8/8) Objective 2 Return to Agátur You should return to Agátur in Skarháld and tell him of the drake attacks. Agátur says: 'Cold-drakes! Have they come here errantly, drawn to our light and noise? Or are we being tested for weaknesses in our defences? I know not, but if you ask me, it bodes ill!'
