Description
I don't know if you noticed on your way in, but this whole fortress is erected around a giant cannon. If we can just find the ammunition magazine, we could blow this place sky-high as easy as kiss-my-hand! But to figure it out I'm going to need the fortress schematics, and I haven't been able to steal them yet. Look for the plans on the lowest floor, right down these stairs.

- A Weezil in the Henhouse
<Gann grasps you with a blood-caked hand.> My wounds are great but I will not rest until the dwarves of Bael Modan pay for their crimes. <Wheeze> We smuggled a man inside their fortress during our last raid. A goblin saboteur: Weezil Slipshadow.

- Sabotage!
These dwarven artillery shells have a built-in airburst timer. This is easy! Just sabotage one of the artillery shells in the loading bay and then hoist it up into the magazine. Boom, baby. BOOM! You'll find the shells in one of two loading bays behind the main garage on this level.
