I do not wish to fight. I am not interested in trade. Please let me be.

What are you doing out here?

Research. It is an orc tradition that mages wander off on their own to do research. It keeps the idiots out of the way. Well, most of them. Ratuk glares.

But I like research too! I could help you.

Hm, do you know your way around a teleportation stone? I suppose I could tolerate your presence.

That's the spirit!

I have been experimenting for a long time, and have many new and interesting teleportation techniques. But I am running out of supplies for more research. Maybe you could do me a few favors in exchange for a few of my lesser secrets.

Yeah, maybe later. Bye!
