Eh, I would rather say the Glimmer Bay Orcas are orca-like (killer whale) rather than shark-like. And orcas are no fish...

What to do
Description
Word is, strange {race}, that you might be going after the king of the orcas, Glrggl. That's all fine and good, but if you want to taste the stew that makes life worth living, then you'll bring me back the succulent blubber of the orcas that swim in Glimmer Bay. Hurry... I have quite a bit of cutting to do on this carcass if you want to reap the benefits of your efforts.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Grmmurggll Mrllggrl Glrggl!!!
If your pathetic little eyes were any good, you'd see that we're being slaughtered by the orcas to the north in the bay!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Spare Suit
Very well, your king's secret is safe with me as long as he continues to help us against our enemies. Here, take this to him. I cleaned it up nicely, though I have no idea why he needs a second disguise. Maybe he has something in mind for you?
