Fonn has learned that gertheryg have been seen travelling to Ologfil in Malenhad. He has sent a scout to investigate, but the scout has not returned.
The hillman Bethad must be somewhere in this foetid cave - whether he could possibly be alive or not is anyone's guess.
Bethad has been imprisoned by the gorthorog war-leader Ulkrank, who must be slain before the scout can be safely freed.
With the death of Ulkrank, you should be able to free Bethad from his prison and escape from the dark lair of Ologfil.
