A Missing Husband
A rumour around town will tell you that Ursanne Loche's husband Aleron has gone missing. You need to find Ursanne in order to pursue the matter further. Ursanne will tell you that her husband has gotten himself in debt by gambling. Now an Orc loanshark named Kurdan gro-Dragol has taken him captive. Speak with Kurdan (found at the Lonely Suitor Lodge) to learn that in order to release Ursanne's husband, he wants you to travel to Fort Grief on an island in Niben Bay to retrieve an axe. He has prepared a boat for you (he will only tell you this if he likes you - somewhere between 50 and 66 disposition is the minimum.)
Fort Grief
Step into the boat and activate it to be transported to the island. The switch for the gate into Fort Grief is just to the right of the locked gate, on the ground. Inside you will find Aleron, who informs you that he was tricked into coming to look for the axe as well, but it's really a game where you are hunted to the death. Save your game -- a full save, not a quick one -- before entering the dungeon. Otherwise, you could get frozen on your way out (see bugs). It may also be sensible to make sure that Aleron is on the lowest level of the ruins before you enter the dungeon. Wander through the booby-trapped dungeon collecting the keys from the hunters as you kill them. If you find these hunters tough going, try luring them into the various traps. There is a pit that they can fall through, with spikes at the bottom, that is especially useful. Once you get back outside, Kurdan shows up and kills Aleron. When you walk through the door, you will be frozen until this killing occurs; it is possible for the game to permanently freeze at this point, as described under bugs.
Duel with Kurdan
Walk up to Kurdan, and he will explain that he can't let you leave the island alive. Fight and kill Kurdan. If you find him difficult to beat, try running into the upper levels of the ruins (he doesn't seem to climb stairs all that well). There will be an archer on the next level that is working in league with Kurdan, but the archer is easy compared to that Orc with his enchanted two-handed weapon. After you take care of the archer, you can steal his weapons and rain arrows down upon Kurdan. Search Kurdan's body for a key to open a door just inside the dungeon, allowing access to a lever which will open up the main exit gate.
Return to Bravil
Return to Bravil and speak to Ursanne Loche again to receive your reward, a copy of Biography of the Wolf Queen, which is a speechcraft skill book.
