According to the frightened goblin you discovered, Eskil Bloodthumb may have been brought to Vatug-ronk, the Groaning Pit. Trausti is eager to rescue him without delay.
'I do not know much about Vatug-ronk, the Groaning Pit, but if that is where the Orcs brought my young novice, that is where we need to go! I believe the pit is on the very lowest level of Deepscrave. Let us meet at the base of the Berg-beam, and then we will decide our next course of action.'0/1

'We are here. Are you prepared to search Vatug-ronk with me for our abducted friend? Let me know when you are ready.'0/1
'Well, I thank you again for the rescue, Player, but I think this experience has taught me one thing. I am simply not cut out for the adventuring life. I am no warrior!'
Eskil sighs unhappily.
'But there's nothing for it. I signed a contract to serve as Stáli's apprentice, and wherever he sees fit to send me, there I have to go. You saved me this time, but how often can I count on you to rescue me? I will surely die down here, Player!'0/1

'Might I have a moment of your time, Player?
'It is clear to me... and I suspect to all!... that my brother is not well-suited for the life of a warrior, but it is also obvious to me that Stáli his master cares little for the dangers into which he sends his apprentice. Eskil needs to obey his master's commands for the duration of his apprenticeship, but were he to somehow slip free of Stáli's contract he would have no further obligation. It might save his life, Player.
'Will you help me find some loophole in their agreement, some means of freeing my brother from the servitude that will surely lead to his doom? Tell me you will!'0/1
