Being stuck on this ship all the time isn't much easier than being in the dungeons of Icebreaker Keep. It's just as cold, that's for sure!

I think you might be right. Commodore Rone says he's a reaver, but he wasn't doing any reaving that I saw. I can't just stand by when a brother Orc is being locked up, just because the Imperials up top can't manage to catch enough real pirates. If he wants his axe, he can have it. Give him my apologies.

But... no! You promised, %PCName! Lord Vivace will hear of this -- once I'll get out, that is. Ah well, I'll just have to wait for a bigger fool. I mean, someone who's true to the values of the Tribunal, unlike a heathen such as yourself.

Ah, woe is me.

Wonderful! You have my sincere gratitude, %PCName. Now, I don't really have anything to give you back, but Lord Vivace rewards his faithful in mysterious ways, and -- and if you meet me at the Eight-Bones Temple, why then I'll have him bestow upon you a reward beyond all imagining! Now, could I ask you to leave so that the guard stops looking in this direction? Thank you.

Do have that scroll for me?

I can't believe you're just as cold as the Imperials, my friend. That simply cannot be the case. Search your heart and come back to me.

I knew you'd understand, my friend. Bring me a scroll of Almsivi Intervention so that I can seek solace in the Eight-Bones Temple. I'm sure the priests there will help me recover before I leave Narsis for a place more hospitable to the faithful than this den of Imperial debauchery.

Have you changed your mind? Will you help me escape so I can continue to spread the good word of Lord Vivace?

Shh, not so loud! Yes, it's a terrible thing indeed. I'm a humble entrepreneur of arts and crafts and a devout follower of the Tribunal, yet these ironclad Imperial despots ridiculed and denigrated my faith and locked me up in this musty cell! If only Lord Vivace knew that his faithful servant suffers such a gruesome fate, he would have stormed the gates of Narsis himself! But alas -- he doesn't know. But not all is lost. You seem like a dependable and honest individual. Will you help me, please?

The Commodore says he's guilty. Commodore hasn't been wrong before. His stuff's locked up safe here. Don't see why you should be asking about it.

Keeping this far-flung corner of the Empire free from piracy is thankless work, but we try our utmost all the same. I would never carelessly imprison an innocent person.

I should have known that he wouldn't give up so easily. I'll ensure that he's put under closer watch, so he won't be able to mislead anyone else. I'm grateful that you informed me of his scheme. Take this a token of my appreciation.

Then if you'll excuse me, I have work to attend to.

Don't let that Orc's pleas get to your head. Lish gro-Garrok is unquestionably guilty. He matches the description of a notorious pirate perfectly. Now is there anything else? I'm quite busy.

Do you really believe that? We've been hearing reports of an Orc reaver and his band plundering merchant vessels and harassing coastal villages for years now. Lish gro-Garrok matches the description perfectly.

There's no hope of ever getting out of here now.

You let the Commodore know about this? You backstabber! It suits her just fine to keep me locked up. Gets to say she's sorting out piracy without having to take any real risks. Well, it looks like I'm done for...

What's the hold up? Did you forget something?

That's everything I need. I doubt we'll see each other again, but you helped me a great deal. Keep anything else you found in my locker. Maybe it will serve you in your journeys too. I'll tell anyone I meet how you helped me. Now it's time for me to get out of here!

Yes, it looks like you got everything I need. Quick, hand it over.

Remember, the Ghostrunner is docked here in Nivalis. My axe should be stored below deck. And don't forget the Almsivi Intervention scroll. I'm not going to try fighting my way out.

Try to talk with Tibera Rone? Ha, she'll just repeat the hollow accusations against me. It's not even worth trying. So, will you help me escape or not?

I thought you were made of stronger stuff. There's nothing more to be said.

You're as brave as you look! There are two things I need you to do. First, get your hands on a scroll of Almsivi Intervention. That will send me far away from anyone who knows of my false charges. Second, retrieve my precious axe from the hold of the Ghostrunner. It should still be docked here in Nivalis. I don't want to be stranded in some Temple town without my weaponry. Once you've got all this, come back to me.

Have you given my situation more thought? Will you help me escape?

What do you mean by that? Hmph, you're no different from those daft navy sailors.

It's good to finally find someone willing to listen. Or perhaps do more than listen. Will you help me escape from here, and right this wrong?

I am an adventurer by heart. I found my calling on the Sea of Ghosts. For years now I've patrolled the coasts, slaying sea-beasts and protecting fisherfolk. Just recently I cleared out a den of pirates in Nolubal Bay and took their ill-gotten goods, to return to their rightful owners of course. But no good deed goes unpunished. Soon after, I was caught by the crew of the Ghostrunner, who accused me of piracy. Now I'm locked up in here, so close but so far from the open water. A sad tale, I'm sure you agree.
