Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'A very brave Dwarf-scout returned to Gabilshathûr and confirmed what I feared: the Orcs are building siege-weapons. In fact, they have already completed some of them! It is only a matter of time before they bring them to bear up on us. 'We have had two pieces of luck though. The Orcs have hidden these weapons well in the caves of Grishbalt north of here. However, the Dwarf-scout saw them bring a load of lumber into the caves and carefully followed them in. The second piece of luck is that the Orcs have built only a single siege-tower and a single catapult. That makes the task easier...although only a little. 'The caves of Grishbalt are to the north of here, along the east side of Duvuinen. The caves are infested with Orcs and trolls, so bring allies to help you.' Background The Orcs were further along in their plans to build siege-weapons with which to assault Gabilshathûr than Avar thought. He told you that they had built two siege weapons and were hiding them within the caves of Grishbalt. Objective 1 Find a torch to burn the siege-tower The caves of Grishbalt lie north of Gabilshathûr, along the east side of Duvuinen. Avar asked you to find and destroy the two siege-weapons the Orcs have hidden there. Avar: 'Hurry, there is no time to waste. Gather your allies and travel to the caves of Grishbalt north of here and destroy the siege-weapons found there!' Objective 2 Burn the siege-tower The caves of Grishbalt lie north of Gabilshathûr, along the east side of Duvuinen. Avar asked you to find and destroy the two siege-weapons the Orcs have hidden there. Objective 3 Find a torch to burn the catapult The caves of Grishbalt lie north of Gabilshathûr, along the east side of Duvuinen. Avar asked you to find and destroy the two siege-weapons the Orcs have hidden there. Objective 4 Burn the catapult The caves of Grishbalt lie north of Gabilshathûr, along the east side of Duvuinen. Avar asked you to find and destroy the two siege-weapons the Orcs have hidden there. Objective 5 Talk to Avar Avar is at Gabilshathûr, south of Duvuinen. You should return to the Avar with word of your success. Avar: 'Well done, <class>! You have brought us at least a temporary respite from the Orcs. It will not be long until they are at it again, I fear, but at least for the moment we are safe.'
