Quest:The Black-fire

Bestowal dialogue

'I'm sure the Orcs have plenty more Black-fire. I'm going to ask you to find and destroy it all. That means you will have to go deep into Nan Wathren.

'I know the Orcs have camps on three hills in the Nan Wathren. These hills are connected by rope bridges in the heart of the valley. I suspect that more Black-fire can be found there. We must destroy it if we can. It seems that open flame causes this foul powder to explode, so it would be wise to use fire to destroy the crates.

'Also, keep an eye open for half-orcs. I wager it is them I saw carrying the crate. Pure-bred Orcs are brutes and could never work such magic! I'd take some friends along, if I was you -- that area is crawling with Orcs, and you'll need friends to defend you while you destroy the crates.'

Background

Aggy Digweed has dubbed the foul substance you found "Black-fire" and called it a dark magic of the Orcs. She believes the Orcs have more and that it must be destroyed if Trestlebridge is to be saved.

Objective 1

The Black-fire crates are on three hills in Nan Wathren.

Aggy Digweed said that there are three large hills connected by rope bridges in Nan Wathren and asked you to search those hills for more Black-fire crates. She told you to keep an eye open for half-orcs, as full-blooded Orcs are too brutish to create magic like the Black-fire. As the Black-fire powder explodes when touched by fire, Aggy asked you to put the Black-fire to the torch, destroying it all. She also suggested you take friends.

• Find the Black-fire on the northern hill
• Find the Black-fire on the south-eastern hill
• Find the Black-fire on the south-western hill

Objective 2

Aggy Digweed can be found in Trestlebridge.

In your search of the three hills in the Nan Wathren, you found Black-fire crates atop each hill. You also found half-orcs, who spoke of a someone named Lugbas, who may be their leader. Aggy should know what you found.

• Talk to Aggy Digweed

'You found more of the Black-fire? Goodness, they had that much of it? I suppose we are lucky I spotted that crate the other night, aren't we?

'I am worried, though. This Lugbas the half-orcs spoke of...could it be that he is the one making this Black-fire?'
