Dialogue

Intermediate Dialogue

You can choose to either interrogate or kill Arred. If you choose to interrogate, the dialogue will move to the next section.


 * Arred the Unready: "What do you want from me? I ain't never seen your ugly mug before."
 * You:
 * (Interrogate) "Where are the corsairs rallying?"
 * (Kill Him) "Too bad you won't cooperate. The next face you'll see is Grenth's in the Underworld!"


 * Arred the Unready: "I don't know nothing! You can't scare me!"
 * You:
 * (Interrogate) "Looks like your jaw's a little tight, maybe my fists will loosen it up a bit."
 * (Kill Him) [same text as above]


 * Arred the Unready: "You call yourself a Sunspear? My little sister hits harder than that!"
 * You:
 * (Interrogate) "Still a bit tongue-tied are we? Well, since you aren't using it to talk, I think I'll just cut it off and feed it to the skales."
 * (Kill Him) [same text as above]


 * Arred the Unready: "All right! All right! The meeting spot is Lahtenda Bog. These men and I were on our way there. We were supposed to meet up with some guy named Ironfist. That's all I know I swear, just leave me be please!"

Reward Dialogue
 * "Chuusi! That means "Well done"! Still, it's unnerving that the corsairs are gathering in Lahtenda Bog, I'm not sure what they're up to, but let's not wait around to find out. When you are ready, speak to me again and we'll plan our attack on the camps."

Followup
 * A Sticky Operation

Walkthrough
Enter Fahranur from Blacktide Den. You will fight three groups of three Arred's Crew each, followed by Arred who is standing alone. There will be a spawn of insects or plants near each of these, so it may be wise to pull and kill the creatures and the crew separately.

Arred will turn into a non-hostile NPC after being attacked for a while, but if there is still combat with other creatures in the area, he will continue to summon hostile Spirits of Toxicity. Once he is non-hostile you can speak to him to continue the quest.
