Tangleroot Gorge

Assault on Splinterskull: First Strike

Before Assault on Splinterskull is bestowed:

• Chief Ungurz: Hey ... you! You look like you could handle some hard work. Ever heard of Splinterskull?
  • You: Splinterskull?
    • Chief Ungurz: It's an underground fort, crawling with hobgoblins. A savage tribe, every last one of 'em midden-slime. This scabrous worm called Yarkuch rules them. He's a caravan-raider who refuses to bow to the might of the kingdom of Darguun. He needs to be taught a lesson.
      • You: The peace needs to be kept, even if it's a Darguul peace. Where do I start?
        • Chief Ungurz: Just a little thing, first. Get the Skullers' attention. Go in, kill a few of 'em ... let's say twenty. Then come back and tell me how you did. I may have more work for you then, if you please me. (Assault on Splinterskull bestowed)
      • You: Maybe later. I don't have time right now.
        • Chief Ungurz: Ungurz glowers at you and spits a stream of brown slime on the ground. Didn't take you for a coward at first sight. Why don't you go back to suckling at yer mama's teat, and quit wasting my time? (Walk away)
  • You: Yes, I have. What about it?
    • Chief Ungurz: Then you know Chief Yarkuch there is a right wretch who could stand to be shortened by a head, aye? Can't do that just yet, but I could use some help giving him some of his mischief right back. Interested?
      • You: Yes. What do you want me to do?
        • Chief Ungurz: Just a little thing, first. Get the Skullers' attention. Go in, kill a few of 'em ... let's say twenty. Then come back and tell me how you did. I may have more work for you then, if you please me. (Assault on Splinterskull bestowed)
      • You: Not now, thanks.
        • Chief Ungurz: Ungurz glowers at you and spits a stream of brown slime on the ground. Didn't take you for a coward at first sight. Why don't you go back to suckling at yer mama's teat, and quit wasting my time? (Walk away)

After Assault on Splinterskull is bestowed but before completion of First Strike:

• Chief Ungurz: Funny, I thought what I asked you too do was clear. Kill twenty hobgoblins in Splinterskull. Or do you need help with your counting?

Assault on Splinterskull: The Hobgoblins' Captives

After you complete First Strike, he will reply:

• Chief Ungurz: Not bad, not bad at all. 'Course, any warrior worth his salt could have done what you did, but at least you're no weakling. Yarkuch'll be mightily angry, too. I can almost hear him, whimming about the men he lost. Har!
  • You: Do you have any more work for me?
    • Chief Ungurz: Aye, it so happens I do. Word's come to me that his men have been snatching people from the Stormreach's streets, to give the Darguul a bad name in the city. Go get 'em out ... they'll tell the tale back at the Reach, and the Coin Lords'll find out the Darguul aren't to blame. Ungurz grins slyly. Not this time, anyway .... (Advance quest)
  • You: I could go back and kill a few more.
    • Chief Ungurz: ??????????????????

After you advance the quest, but before finishing it, if you talk to him again, he will say:

• Chief Ungurz: What in Fernia do you think you're doing back here? Finish the job I gave you before you come begging for more!

Assault on Splinterskull: Yarkuch's War-plans

After you complete The Hobgoblins' Captives, he will reply:

• Chief Ungurz: Ha! Those wretched Skullers must be angry enough to spit knives, now their prisoners are gone, and I've got you to thank for it. The Darguul will be off the hook with the Coin Lords, soon enough.
  • You: Good. What next?
    • Chief Ungurz: ???????????????
  • You: Won't they want revenge?
    • Chief Ungurz: Damn right they'll want revenge. So we keep pounding on them ourselves. Yarkuch has three tacticians working for gim—kill them and take whatever documents they're carrying. And watch out for Blood-drinker ... he's a mean cuss of a spider Yarkuch keeps as a guard. He'll probably have loosed him in Splinterskull by now. (Advance quest)

After you acquire the quest, but before finishing it, if you talk to him again, he will say:

• Chief Ungurz: Back already? Got the Skullers' plans with you? No? Then why in the Devourer's name are you bothering me? You've got your orders ... now carry them out!

Assault on Splinterskull: Whisperdoom's Spawn

After you complete Yarkuch's War-plans, he will reply:

• Chief Ungurz: Ungurz flashes a smile full of malice and yellow teeth. You've got the Skullers' plans, I see. Let me have them. He scans them, and his grin falters. His eyes widen. Blood of my longfathers! They have Whisperdoom? I thought she was dead!
  • You: Who's Whisperdoom?
    • Chief Ungurz: She's a spider ... a cruel old mother of a spider. Worse'n Blood-drinker—he's her offspring, so I've heard. They've been using her brood for watchdogs, probably feeding her prisoners too. Well, that tears it—we've got to deal with her. Go back to Splinterskull, find her den and destroy her egg sacs.
      • You: Her egg sacs? Why not go after her?
        • Chief Ungurz: Ungurz's lip curls. Only if you like getting all your blood sucked out and your bones hung in a web! That old crone can't be killed ... not by the likes of you and me, anyway. Don't confront her directly—just find a way to deal with her eggs before she rips you apart. (Advance quest)
      • You: Consider it done.
  • You: I take it you've got another task for me.
    • Chief Ungurz: ???????????????

After you acquire the quest, but before finishing it, if you talk to him again, he will say:

• Chief Ungurz: ??????????????

Assault on Splinterskull: The Deadly Package

After you complete Whisperdoom's Spawn, he will reply:

• Chief Ungurz: Whisperdoom's eggs are no more ... now the Skullers are back on their heels, without all those spiders to use. But even when a man's bleeding hard, you should keep on cutting. With any luck, this next mission should be your last. Pull it off, and we'll be rid of Yarkuch for good!
  • You: You want me to kill him?
    • Chief Ungurz: ??????????????
  • You: What do you want me to do?
    • Chief Ungurz: Ungurz hands you a small pouch, filled with dried red leaves. Take this to Lhor-Tragu—he's an assassin I've got in place in Splinterskull. He'll use it to poison Yarkuch. You'll find him in a guardroom in the inner stronghold, beyond the drawbridge at the end of the spider-caverns. He's hidden a key in the spider-caves that'll get you into the stronghold. (Advance quest)

After you acquire the quest, but before finishing it, if you talk to him again, he will say:

• Chief Ungurz: Why do you come mewling back here when you still haven't gotten that package to Lhor-Tragu? Get yourself to Splinterskull and do what you're told!

Assault on Splinterskull: Doom of the Witch-doctor

After you complete The Deadly Package: Agent of the Darguul, he will reply:

• Chief Ungurz: Ungurz looks at you grimly. Bad news, my friend. Lhor-Tragu made his move, but Yarkuch's brother Zulkash found him out. He's a witch-doctor, and he smelled the treason on him with his magic.
  • You: What happened to Lhor-Tragu?
    • Chief Ungurz: Zulkash used his magic to make him cut his own throat, I hear. Now he's using his power on me, trying to drive me mad—his sorcery is like a splinter in my mind. Whenever I try to sleep, I see his eyes ... his burning eyes! You have to stop him—kill him and smash his totem. After that, we'll finally be able to make our final attack!
    • You: Where do I find this Zulkash?
    • Chief Ungurz: Go to the room where you met Lhor-Tragu. There are two passages as you enter—take the one on the right. It leads to Zulkash's worship-hall! (Advance quest)
  • You: So what do we do now?
    • Chief Ungurz: ?????????????????

After you acquire the quest, but before finishing it, if you talk to him again, he will say:

• Chief Ungurz: Haruuc's moldering bones! The magic still burns in my head. The pain grows worse with every hour. You must ... kill ... Zulkash!

Assault on Splinterskull: The Last Move

After you complete Doom of the Witch-doctor: Zulkash, Herald of Woe, he will reply:

• Chief Ungurz: Ah, thanks the Six I'm free of the witch-doctor's magic. Good work—you've done better than I could hve hoped. Without Whisperdoom and Zulkash to aid them, the hobgoblins of Splinterskull are ready to be smashed. Time to finish them—and one last task for you. What say you ... are you ready to end this game?
• You: I'm ready. Let's finish it!
• Chief Ungurz: Yar, I like you. You've got bile in your guts. All right, here's what you do. I'm sending my troops on a diversion, to draw some of Yarkuch's men away. That'll be your chance: break into his inner holding—it's the left branch after the drawbridge—and put and end to the maggot! Death to Splinterskull!
  • You: Won't he be defended?
    • Chief Ungurz: Sure he will. His war-masters will be near him, Naarl and Kurg they're called. Stinking sewer-rats, both of 'em, but good fighters too. They keep the keys to the throne room. And it'd be like Yarkuch to have a couple more dirty tricks we don't know about. So watch yourself, and make me proud. (Advance quest)
  • You: Let me at him!

After you acquire the quest, but before finishing it, if you talk to him again, he will say:

• Chief Ungurz: My men are fighting and dying to buy you a chance at Yarkuch. Get out there, before I have your stinking hide!

After you complete The Last Move: Yarkuch's Last Stand, he will finally reward you:

• Chief Ungurz: Ungurz leans forward, a hungry gleam in his eyes. Tell me true—I've heard rumors, but I must hear it from your mouth. What news from Splinterskull?
  • You: Yarkuch is dead. Splinterskull's power is broken!
    • Chief Ungurz: A look of bloodthirsty glee sparks in Ungurz's eyes. He throws back his head and lets out a furious war-whoop. Aaaayyyyaarrrrr! Now I alone shall rule, in Darguun's name! You've done well by me, and earned your pay. From now on, you'll be counted a friend of the Darguul. Take your reward, and may your sword never be long a-thirsting!
  • You: First, let's talk about my reward.
    • Chief Ungurz: Fah! You'll tell me what I want to know, befre we go arguing over pay. Not a copper until you say true—is Yarkuch of Splinterskull alive or dead?
    • You: Dead.
    • Chief Ungurz: A look of bloodthirsty glee sparks in Ungurz's eyes. He throws back his head and lets out a furious war-whoop. Aaaayyyyaarrrrr! Now I alone shall rule, in Darguun's name! You've done well by me, and earned your pay. From now on, you'll be counted a friend of the Darguul. Take your reward, and may your sword never be long a-thirsting!

After completing the chain and take the reward, if you talk to him again, he will reply:

• Chief Ungurz: ????????????????????
