The 9 quest steps

1. 1Talk to Thorbjarn

   Dialogue[38,-77] · Thorbjarn

   Jarl Gidrud's right-hand man has heard about your work at the sawmill. The quarry workers can no longer supply the building site with stone because of the Thoronduddleswells, eagles that have nested there. They have to be driven off, but without hurting them: they keep the island's rodents in check.

2. 2Meet the quarry foreman

   Dialogue[34,-81] · Skäff Ölding

   Explain to the foreman, a taur, that you have come to drive off the Thoronduddleswells. When threatened, they let out a cry that brings all their kin: the most effective approach is to hit them hard from the start so they give up fighting.

   

3. 3Scare the Thoronduddleswells

   Combat[36,-81]

   Talk to the Pale Thoronduddleswell to start the first fight. It can be done in a group, and the quest advances for everyone.

   Dialogue

   1. “Scare the thoronduddleswells to make them flee the quarry”

   • Pale Thoronduddleswellfight · levels 42 to 50 · 480 to 630 HP · 6 AP · 5 MP

4. 4Start the second fight

   Combat[36,-82]

   Talk to the Pallid Thoronduddleswell to start the second fight, which can also be done in a group.

   Dialogue

   1. “Start the fight against the thoronduddleswells”

   • Pallid Thoronduddleswellfight · levels 42 to 50 · 480 to 630 HP · 6 AP · 5 MP

5. 5Inform Skäff Ölding

   Dialogue[34,-81] · Skäff Ölding

   Report the mission's success to the foreman. He sends you back to Thorbjarn: Pierrail and Jacky stay on site to make sure the birds don't come back.

6. 6Report to Thorbjarn

   Dialogue[36,-77] · Thorbjarn

   Thorbjarn is relieved: he doubted whether he had done right to send Jacky. To celebrate the work done and your arrival, he offers you a pint at the tavern a little later, and in the meantime invites you to chat with the locals in Tales and Legends Square.

   Dialogue

   1. “Reply that you gladly accept”

   

7. 7Listen to the bard

   Dialogue[37,-78] · Rembeau d'Oranja

   In Tales and Legends Square, listen to the bard in the center of the square. He notices that you already know his song, which does not belong to this era: like you, he seems to have traveled through the future. He then sings a song about the Master of the Forest, which he did not understand either.

   Dialogue

   1. “Throw a kama at the minstrel's feet”
   2. “Agree with a wink”
   3. “Express your surprise at this news and ask if he is willing to sing again”
   4. “Reply that on reflection, you didn't understand much”

   At the second choice, both answers work, whether you know the song or not.

   

8. 8Order two pints

   Dialogue[38,-78] · Nokbek Yepynt

   Go into the Albuera Inn and order two pints from the innkeeper for 120 kamas.

   Dialogue

   1. “Order two pints while waiting for Thorbjarn”

   • 120 kamasto pay

   

9. 9Clink glasses with Thorbjarn

   Dialogue[38,-78] · Thorbjarn

   Thorbjarn arrives: buy him a mug of mead. Over the pints, he praises his jarl Gidrud, who holds Muspel, one of the 7 Lances of the Oath, and admits to a deed he is not proud of, tied to a conflict he refuses to talk about. He leaves you and the quest ends.

   Dialogue

   1. “Hold yourself back with all your might so you don't burst out laughing”

   The other answer to his joke works too: it changes nothing.
