Krakauer is up on the chopping block as we speak! The orcs brought in a Gurubashi witch doctor to perform a dark ritual on him. We need to kill that troll to free Krakauer! Let's go! He's just inside the cave here. Hang a right at the first fork.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Jorgensen
I don't know where Krakauer or Danforth are, but Jorgensen was being held at Render's Camp, northwest of here. I was in the same crap filled cage with him before they relocated me to Alther's Mill. If we're gonna get him out we'll need the key.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- And Last But Not Least... Danforth
Danforth's being tortured on the other side of the cave. There's no telling what state he's in by now! We need to get over there and save him! Overlord Barbarius has the key to the lever holding Danforth up. We work together as a team and we can kill that bastard, Barbarius.
