Bestowal dialogue

'Did you see it? There is a beast loose in the Sail-haven!

'It burst out of that crate over there, and then it ran off into the Sail-haven. It was so swift that it even tore up some of the stonework as it went! I'm told that this shipment was for the dwarf, Henok, and if I've nothing to offer him, it won't be long before word reaches Khôltekh and the rest of the Kindred of the Coins.

'What am I going to do?! If Eshmun finds out, he'll have my head! Won't you help me?'

Background

After helping to unload a ship, Tâbrim has reported that a strange creature escaped its crate and fled into the Sail-haven.

Objective 1

  • Examine the broken crate

The broken crate can be found near Tâbrim on the piers of the Sail-haven.

Tâbrim has asked you to examine the broken crate. You should inspect the broken crate.

As Tâbrim suggested, the crate appears to have been broken from the inside!

Objective 2

The escaped creature can be found somewhere in the Sail-haven.

Tâbrim informed you that the creature tore up some stonework as it fled into the Sail-haven. You should follow the damaged stonework and see where it leads.

The stonework has been damaged by the frantic passage of the escaped creature
To your surprise, a fearful cave-claw has taken refuge in this alley

Objective 3

The cave-claw can be found in a small alley in the Sail-haven.

You have found a fearful cave-claw, and it is clearly overwhelmed by its new home. You should carefully approach the cave-claw.

Frightened Cave-claw: As you approach the cave-claw, you can tell that it is deeply distressed and overwhelmed by its new surroundings in Umbar Baharbêl.
Deciding that it might be unwise to try to capture the creature yourself, you look about the alley and notice a few sacks of potatoes. You hope that offering it something in kindness might soothe the cave-claw's fears.

Objective 4

  • Collect a potato from one of the nearby sacks

Sacks of potatoes can be found in a small alley in the Sail-haven.

You have found the cave-claw, but it appears very uneasy. You should find something you can offer it to help calm it down.

That looks like a good one!

Objective 5

  • Kindly offer the potato to the cave-claw
  •  Potato

The cave-claw can be found in a small alley in the Sail-haven.

You have collected a fine potato, and you should offer it to the frightened cave-claw.

Your kindness appears to have calmed the cave-claw, and you hear a voice behind you

Objective 6

  • Talk to Henok

Henok can be found in a small alley in the Sail-haven.

One of the Temámir, Henok, has arrived to collect his companion. You should talk to Henok.

Henok: 'Ah! You have found my new companion!
'I spoke to Tabrim, and much the same as you I suppose, my path led me to this alley. It is all right, friend. I can handle this matter from here, and I think this cave-claw will find quite the pleasant home in the Shoreward Stone. I do thank you for helping to calm him down, though. It is quite the experience to walk the streets of Umbar Baharbêl, and if we are being honest, it can be a bit much for anyone!
'I must confess, though, I do not know your name. What is it?'
You tell Henok your name, and he smiles.
'Ah, well, that might be a strange name for a cave-claw, but we'll give it a try. You have my thanks!'
