'It is my fault. I thought in my company the lad would be safe, and the experience would teach him a healthy caution while venturing in Orc-controlled caverns... but I was wrong. We were on the bridge that extends north-west of the Berg-beam when a party of Orcs attacked and overwhelmed us! I called for Eskil to shelter behind me, but in all the tumult I lost track of him. When I managed to get clear the Orcs were gone, and my student with them.'

Trausti wrings his hands in frustration.

'I also lost my axe during the fighting, the axe in which the golden tooth of my dear friend Lofrík was embedded. Will you help me rescue the young novice and find my cherished axe? If you agree, I will meet you back in Deepscrave when I have recovered a replacement weapon. Bah! No axe can replace the one I have lost, but one must serve!'
