'We were attacked just over there, to the north-west. There were many Orcs, more than I could count in the moment, and it was my impression that they were returning from somewhere. Aye, I felt we were not their purpose, though they were satisfied their path crossed with ours.

'That bridge is the way to Durshulot, and we know Eskil did not return to the Berg-beam. I think we can say this of Eskil's fate: it remains uncertain, but there is reason to hope for his survival! I think they shortened a length of rope in order to bind his hands, and he may have been brought alive to Durshulot, or perhaps to other Orkish dwellings along the north-eastern wall of Deepscrave!
'Let us search the north-eastern bounds of Deepscrave for further sign of the young novice... and for my axe as well.'0/1

'Cowardly eyes are upon us, watching us from some hiding-place. Let us give their bearer a good scare and he may reveal himself.
'Unleash a tremendous roar, Player. Let us inform this craven watcher we know of his presence!'0/1
When Trausti suggests that only an informative goblin-life is worth sparing, the goblin squeaks with terror and changes his tune.
'Wait! Wait, I do know something, I do! You're looking for a dwarf? A captive dwarf, yes? I know where he was taken! Hashdurb's warriors brought him to Vatug-ronk, they did! He won't live for long in that pit, but he was alive when I saw him! Yes, he was, he was! Useful information! Useful!'0/1

'Ah, let him go, Player. We learned something useful, and there will be plenty of time to slay goblins later. If he was telling the truth, Eskil was alive when he was brought to Vatug-ronk. If we hurry, we may be able to keep him that way.'0/1
