'Do you remember how I told you that the ukhrâsh chased me off at Skelstrand? Well, the last time I was run off, I got lucky. I was ambushed by an enormous ukhrash, and it was very nearly upon me before I finally heard it. If I had reacted a second later, well... it would have been worse than this!'

Orti pulls back his sleeve to reveal a thin gash on his arm.

'And that was the smallest scratch, mind you! If it had been closer, I surely would have lost my arm. Aye, it's a sneaky one. Especially for one of its size!

'Old Skárhogg, as I call it, has grown a bit too long in the claw, I think. If it is allowed to stalk the banks of Durthuzâram, there is no doubt in my mind that it will endanger the dwarves of the Gabil'akkâ.

'If you go to Skelstrand, seek out some sign of its presence. I only hope that you find it before it finds you!'
