Description

Those gorge-digging dwarves do at least one thing right: they make very high-quality bullets. I've been unable to reproduce their results, so I've taken to stealing whatever bullets of theirs that I can find.

Ye want my help? Get me a couple hundred bullets from those marksmen below.

I'm sure they'll be happy to give ye their bullets one at a time, but you might find it faster just to look for the crates filled with them.

A warning:

I ended up with 203 bullets in my bag, so I moved three bullets to its own stack, and then removed them. But I shouldn't have done that, because when I removed them the quest seemed to delete itself from the quest log, and then ALL the bullets were removed.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Set Them Ablaze!Searing Gorge · Level 15-30

    I'm not sure if ye've noticed, but my tower's much taller than any o' the other towers here around the Gorge. Some dwarves pride themselves at how deep they can dig, but not me. Sometimes I think I shoulda been born a Wildhammer. I still don't like the sight o' those other towers, though.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • DeceitSearing Gorge · Level 15-30

    What? Why're you still here? Oh, did I promise that I'd help you and the Thorium Brotherhood in yer fight? I lied. I just can't spare the men right now. I know I said I'd help, but there's absolutely no way you can convince me to leave Iron Summit right now. Absolutely no way.
