Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'We have both parts of the ransom now, so I suppose we must press on. To Bâr Nadhron, <name>, though I have an ill feeling about this!' Background You have the ransom Jarl Akhiz demanded for two of Lady Glánhar's sons. Objective 1 Meet Gondrad at Bâr Nadhron Meet Gondrad before Jarl Akhiz's camp at Bâr Nadhron. Gondrad: 'Look at that! This Jarl could certainly take Ost Rimmon. I wonder if he knows it? 'Now, I have been pondering what Lady Glánhar said about caution. Call me coward and cuff me on the ear, but I would scout around the edges of the camp and see what may be seen, if I were you. 'As for myself, this is as close I have courage to go!' Objective 2 Explore each entrance of the camp (0/5) Explore the various entrances of Jarl Akhiz's camp in Bâr Nadhron. In short time, the Variags have erected palisades and watchtowers. The manor of Bâr Nadhron looms above, ruined. The cellar likely lies beneath. Bâr Nadhron has been burnt, and no doubt pillaged, ruthlessly. The sheer number of arrows and corpses tell a tale of capture by brutal force. The Variag camp is fully manned and armed - and well-guarded. Objective 3 Return to Gondrad Return to Gondrad just outside the camp at Bâr Nadhron. Gondrad: You recount all that you saw to Gondrad and his face slowly twists into a frown. 'I see two reasons to be perfectly miserable, <name>. First and foremost is that these men are truly as numerous, ruthless, and fell as we had feared. And secondly - you found no better reason to turn back and go home without completing the deal.'
