Detailed Walkthrough[]
- Must complete Infiltrating Hunter's Edge before progressing in this quest.
- You can choose either methods below (or both if you want the most XP) to advance this quest:
- Rescue Nolan
- Speak to Jahrl to learn about the prisoners in the torture chamber.
- Talk to the guard who will let you enter the prison after receiving Jahrl's permission and go to the basement below the Tribesmen's Warehouse.
- Speak to the orc named Lorr about the fate of Nolan and choose the following methods to make him leave the torture chamber:
- You can challenge him and best him as the more knowledgeable torturer:
- Choose Ring of Roses (Lorr's answer as well), Bile of Banshee (he will choose differently), the Nose (Lorr's answer as well), Three Long Minutes (he will choose differently).
- Note: There is no XP to best him in this competition and you will not have another chance at this.
- You can best him in a RPS game for 6800 Charismatic XP.
- Note: If you fail, Lorr and the goblin will attack you.
- Or you can attack him outright, but you have to do it later anyway to free Nolan.
