Gangur Farwend is lucky to be alive, but his experience has left him all the more eager to accomplish his mission.
'Is that you, ${PLAYER}? Oh, I am glad to see you. I am drenched through to my skin, and as my clothes dry I can feel the salt left behind. It is not pleasant, but I am lucky to be alive! Why did I allow you to talk me into this voyage?'
You tell Gangur that you are relieved to see he still lives, for it was believed that he was lost overboard during the storm.
'That is exactly what happened. I know it was foolish of me to go up on deck during the storm, but I feared the ship would fill with water and I would have no hope of survival if I remained below deck. There was a tremendous wave and I was swept overboard. Someone was looking out for me, but I cannot imagine why. More deserving dwarves than I have been favoured by the First Crafter. I thought I was sure to drown, and I saw... well, never mind what I saw. I cannot believe it, myself.
'I lost my pickaxe and my satchel. I was fortunate enough to wash ashore; perhaps they have fetched up along one of these islands too. Do you think you could look for them for me? While you look for those, could you also retrieve some rock samples for me from the islands hereabout? I am curious about something. I will be... well, I will be right here. I am still too water-logged to go anywhere.'
Gangur Farwend has asked you to retrieve the pick-axe and satchel he lost when he fell overboard. Additionally, he wants you to bring him rock samples from the island onto which he washed ashore.
Gangur Farwend waits for you to bring him his items on the island where he washed ashore.
Gangur asked you to defeat worms and drakes in the high places of an island to the south, and to search their lair for corroded rock samples that might prove interesting to him.
Gangur Farwend has returned to the Wave-hunter on the Shield Isles and waits for you to bring him the corroded rock samples he requested.
