<The gnome is lost in deep contemplation. His brows are furled and a determined expression is chiseled onto his face.>

Oh, <name>! Apologies, my rampant thoughts made me not realize you returned. I just finished decrypting both the scroll and the tablet you found in that demon cave. What I discovered is... well, horrifying, to put it lightly.

The scroll you found on that Stormreaver necrolyte speaks of aberrant experiments conducted on their captives. Many of them being ?not suitable', resulting in - if I translated correctly - liquefaction. Equally alarming is the contents of the stone table my sister Nippsy handed me. The demon's plan is to aid the Stormreaver orcs in summoning a demon of insurmountable power - one they call Mergothid. I reckon they will need a vast amount of energy for that to be accomplished...

<name>, please hand this report to Operative Gillian. If my understanding of the situation is correct, and I am certain that it is, then we cannot wait much longer.

Has Noppsy finished his translation? What have you found out?

<Verona is reading Noppsy's report without changing expressions. Her meticulous analysis of the report reminds you why she is the spearhead of this operation.>

<name>, ready yourself. We will launch an infiltration.
