I don't remember anything after that." - How'd your fleet end up so far off course?
- "Now that you mention it, I thought something was wrong. I never sailed with Captain Henrisa before, and I never sailed this part of the sea, so I could have been mistaken.
I tried to reach the captain, but that's when we ran into the blizzard." - Do you think Captain Henrisa made a mistake?
- "I wouldn't want to disparage the captain. She works for Lord Ethian's father and most of the ships belong to him. Because of the ambassador's mission, they wanted to make an impression.
Nobles."

- What about the ambassador's bodyguard?
- "Skordo the Knife? He's an Orc from Northpoint. The ambassador brought him along in case we ran into any trouble.
He told me that he thought something was going on and asked me to keep my eyes open."
- "Skordo the Knife? He's an Orc from Northpoint. The ambassador brought him along in case we ran into any trouble.
- Any idea where I can find the ambassador?

Oh dear. I hope the ambassador wasn't injured when we crashed."

- There's a camp nearby. You'll be safe there.
- Holbert: "I'll go check on Lord Ethian. He's a nervous sort."
While searching for Sovelle, you'll happen upon Ethian and Holbert:
- "Once Captain Henrisa left the camp, I couldn't convince his lordship to remain behind. So I followed along to try to keep him safe."
After speaking to Ethian, he'll realize his wife is in the nearby signal tower and makes a bee-line for it.
- "His lordship ran toward that signal tower over there. I wonder why he thinks he'll find the ambassador in such a wretched place?"
Speak to Ethian at the tower. When the two of you emerge, Holbert will be waiting with news:
- Holbert: "There you are! Skordo found something!"
- "While you were up in the signal tower, Skordo did some scouting and he thinks he figured out where Captain Henrisa disappeared to. He went to see if the ambassador was there as well."
- Where did Skordo go?
- "Just down the path here. He found what looks to be an old smuggler's bolt hole in the rocks.
Skordo sent me back so I could tell you all about it. He's waiting for you over there." - Ethian and I will meet up with Skordo.
- Holbert: "I'll head back to camp. I need to check on the survivors."
DialogueEdit
After the quest, you can find Holbert at the Frozen Fleet camp with the other survivors:
- "What a tale I'll have to tell when I return to Northpoint. If I return to Northpoint. I might remain in Orsinium for a time. Help Lady Sovelle in her work there. It might be nice to have some solid ground under my feet for a while."
