The Heretic

After making your way through the cave, you will find Ghorkul standing on a platform, flanked by a pair of cave trolls and Shagdurz. When you approach him, he will offer to tell you the full story:

"The Chief has sent someone to fight in his place! I never thought he was a coward until now. I heard you slay the trolls of this cave. You must be blessed by the gods. I will fight you if I must... but first, hear me. Then you may decide what to do on your own terms, rather than the Chief's."

I'm here to kill you. No need to delay it.

"You will be making a mistake. The Chief has lied to you, and I will not die so easily as those trolls. Are you certain?"

Yes, let's fight.

"Very well."

Speak, then.

"Shagdurz wishes to be my wife. This is a problem for the Chief because he promised her to a Chief from another village. The Chief told you I kidnapped her. Is that not so? Look. Does she appear to be here under duress? The old ways are dying, Warrior. As someone who once served the Emperor directly, you must know this."

How did you know that?

"I know things. Have no fear, your secret is well kept. What will you do? Leave us? Or needlessly stain this cave with more blood?"

I will do my job. Prepare to die.

"Very well."

I will leave you be.

"Trinimac smiles on you. Farewell."

You have a point.

"I beg of you to leave us be. We are seeking happiness, nothing more."

You can stay here. Just don't bother anyone.

"Trinimac smiles on you. Farewell."

I'm not leaving here without Shagdurz.

"Then you will not leave at all!"

Some things change, others don't.

"True. What will you do, then? Leave us? Or needlessly stain this cave with more blood?"

I will do my job. Prepare to die.

"Very well."

I will leave you be.

"Trinimac smiles on you. Farewell."
