Orona

Orona is a Dark Elf kwama miner who can be found in Deepcrag Den. The kwama in the mine have gone berserk, and while she understands the need to kill them, she asks you to retrieve the cuttle so that it doesn't go to waste. She wants to sell the cuttle herself, so that she can make money off the venture.

Quest-Related Events

As you approach, you will hear her mutter:

"What a terrible waste..."

Engaging her in conversation will cause her to warn you

"I hope you drank one of Edrasa's potions. Otherwise, this is going to be a short visit."

Thanks for the warning.

She will also advise:

"Here's another tip, free of charge. Keep your weapon handy. I've never seen kwama this aggressive.
It's such a waste, isn't it?"

What do you mean?

"You're going to have to kill a lot of kwama to get through the tunnels, right?
Letting them rot won't help anyone. Why not harvest their cuttle? It's the waxy stuff on their beaks. Million and one uses. I'll give you a fair price for it."

I'll consider your offer.

After you harvested enough cuttle, she will be outside of the mine. She will refuse to answer any questions about what she plans to do with the cuttle you harvest, saying:

"Were you able to gather any kwama cuttle?"

What do you plan to do with the cuttle?

"What does it matter? The kwama had to be killed Is it better that the cuttle go to waste? Why pass up the opportunity to make some gold?
Or are you thinking of selling the cuttle yourself?"

The cuttle doesn't actually belong to you.

Despite your accusations, she will fiercely defend her stance,

"My idea, my profit. Alchemists can't get enough of it, and it's not commonly available. That makes this the perfect situation. I won't apologize for being pragmatic."

Telling her to return the cuttle to the owner will cause her to curse you, but ultimately give in,

I think you should give it to Boril instead of selling it.

"You fetcher! It was my idea! Fine. I'll give it to Boril. I'm sure he'll pat me on the head for being so loyal and honest. Who needs all those annoying gold pieces cluttering up their purse, anyway."

If you exit the conversation before turning in the quest, she will say:

"Were you able to gather any kwama cuttle?"

I'll let you give the cuttle to Boril. (Leads to quest dialogue)

On the other hand, you can allow her to proceed with her original plan of selling the cuttle:

That makes a certain amount of sense.

"This is good quality cuttle. Very smooth and pliable. Useful for making potions and salves.
It would have been a shame to just leave them on the dead kwama."

If you exit the conversation before turning in the quest, she will say:

"Were you able to gather any kwama cuttle?"

Here's the cuttle. (Leads to quest dialogue)

Either way, you will receive some gold for your trouble.

After the quest, if you made her give the cuttle to Boril:

"I said I would turn the stuff in and I will. Though I still think it's a waste."

Otherwise, letting her keep it:

"Alchemists pay handsomely for kwama cuttle."
