'Do you remember the path we used to enter Eregion from the Trollshaws? Do you think you could walk back to that path and see if Willem is there, or if anything suspicious is afoot? Leave Gwingris to the south-east and the road will turn north. Do not go too far! I would appreciate having your eyes on that path, that is all.'1/1

'I do not see any of my people approaching. Perhaps you should look as well, Player. Dourhand raiding parties are not known for their stealth, but I do not want them to get the jump on us!
'Once you are certain we are not being followed, speak to me and we can travel to the Redhorn Pass to look for cave entrances that might bring us closer to finding Bingo!'1/1
'Thank you for your help up there, Player, and for Willem's! Thóvarg and the rest of them did not know with whom they tangled, and once they knew it was too late for them! It is both foolish and typical!
'Can you believe they thought I stole the Rothstone when I escaped with Bingo, Player? What need do I have for Skorgrím's Star?'
Spalvi smirks at you for a time, and then opens his pack. From within, he carefully withdraws a golden necklace with a large red stone in the centre.
'I have no loyalty to the Dourhands any longer, and I have no need for this treasure. Why not give it to young Theodore Gorse? He has been seeking treasure since he arrived, and now at last he can possess one!'1/1

'Well, my friend. I must say to you that I feel as if a great weight has been lifted. No, I do not speak of the Rothstone. That was gold and ruby, and its weight was purely material. That is not always the case with dwarf-made artifacts, Player!
'The weight of which I speak was the weight of my name. I know now what I did not know before: I am no longer a Dourhand. That name, and that life, is now behind me.'
