'You seem somewhat capable; you may yet survive in Umbar Baharbêl. I must ask your assistance with a quite dangerous task.

'I have heard increasing reports of theft, kidnapping and worse in the Undercity. My dwarves have formed a foothold in the crypts, but villainy spills out in Umbar-môkh more quickly and readily than the waters of the Bay.

'Long have we above ground turned a blind eye toward what happens under our feet. No longer can we afford such luxury. This morning, a party of Umbari nobility were set upon on the road to the Cape. Several escaped, but a small group were dragged away. It is of the utmost importance that we get them back.

'I happen to know from my contacts that there is an encampment of the worst sort of offenders - thieves, murderers, smugglers and cutthroats in Dil-irmíz, the Berths. These smugglers call it Deshûkh - the Blood Market. This is where these nobles are likely to be taken. Go to my guard outpost in Khabârkhad - Nûru will tell you the way to this encampment.

'Please, ${PLAYER}. These Umbari men and women have their lives in your hands. Will you help?'

Nuru has told you that the Blood Market is located south-west of here, in Dil-irmíz, the Berths.
