Quests:Dun Barethsol:The Catseyes

Help the Dwarves

The Catseyes

Around Waste's Edge, posters inform that the Lord of Uzdun’kal seeks for adventurers to accomplish an unspecified task. Interested people should meet Ynar Hammerhand for further details at the Redwyne Inn. This will activate The Messenger quest.

Messenger

If Marcella has read the dwarvish posters, she may talk to Ynar Hammerhand about that topic. Otherwise it will take some persuasion before Ynar reveals his affairs. In any case, he does not think that Marcella would fulfil the Dwarves’ requirements. Only with much effort, she will be able to convince him. She needs to be careful not to upset him, though. Once Ynar deems her suitable, he will give her a letter or some other token that will get her past the guards of Uzdun’kal without trouble.

The Gates of Uzdun'kal

If Marcella does not care to talk to Ynar Hammerhand, or cannot convince him to let her participate, she may try to talk her way past the Dwarves that guard the entrance to the deeper levels of Uzdun'kal. This will be more difficult than convincing Ynar, but it gives Marcella a second chance if she upset him. Marcella can get this quest from Helmerk Axehaft, who is rather more forthcoming than most Dwarves about their internal affairs.

The Path to The Door

Several Rangers and other folk have followed the call of the Dwarves. Before one of them will finally be assigned the quest, they’ll have to undergo a number of tests, so that the best of them may be determined. With a bit of luck, and possibly some tricking, Marcella can win that test. (The exact procedure of the test needs to be thought of yet.) If she fails, she may still try to capture Alek for the Dwarves, but she won’t get any further help from them.

The Lord's Command

If she proves herself in one or more of the tests, Lord Thorig Axehaft will tell her of the business with Bjarn Fingolson, Alek Endhelm and the Catseyes, although Marcella might have heard some vague rumours in Waste’s Edge already. The Dwarves aren’t after the Catseyes, which were of low quality anyway, but they want to get hold of Endhelm, to put him to trial and to just punishment. Unfortunately, Lord Axehaft does not know about Alek’s whereabouts, but he advises Marcella to ask around at Waste’s Edge.
