When you take off to Old Owl Well, along the way you’ll meet a gnome bard named Grobnar, who’ll want to join your party. He’s not much of a fighter, but his bard enchantments can come in useful. Agree for him to join you and make him wait in the Sunken Flagon. For now you’ll need someone more.. capable. It’s best to have Qara in your party during the Old Owl Well missions, because you’ll be facing a lot of weak enemies in there and her high-range fiery spells are perfect for that.
Quest from: Callum
Once you’re there, look around the area. If you’re with the gang, talk to Katrina first. Talk to Callum and help him defeat the Orcs. After a long talk he’ll send you off to find Yaisog Bonegnasher, the leader of the Bonegnasher Clan, who’s probably holding the missing emissary. On you way, then.
In order to gain access to Bonegnasher Lair (3), you have to get through the blocked passage (1). You’ll need some explosives for that. To get them, you have to go to another cave (2). Along the way you can avoid combat with a large group of orcs (O) if you successfully imitate troll’s yell (hah). You’ll encounter real trolls in here as well – in order to finish them off, you’ll need fire or acid damage (and here comes Qara). Enter the cave (2) and go through the tunnel till the end. You’ll find a box of something that is a fantasy equivalent of grenades, take the whole package and head back to the passage (1). The way is now clear, so defeat all the orcs along the way and enter their lair (3). The guard near the entrance can be intimidated into letting you in without a fight.
There’s not much to be found on this level. At (1) you can free a group of miners. Yaisog is at (2). At first he’ll leave you to fight his guards, so follow him to the next chamber. This time you’ll fight the boss himself. Concentrate your attacks on him, ignoring all the other orcs. If you harm him enough, he’ll try to negotiate with you. You can all the info you want from him or finish him (or do both). Note the fact that he has a decent equipment on him and there’s only one way to get it. Go further and talk to a man there (3), then free him and leave through the back door. Go back to Old Owl Well.
On the way you’ll be attacked by a group of orcs. When you defeat them, a second wave will reveal itself, but you’ll be helped by a mysterious paladin named Casavir. He’s the one that Callum was talking about. Agree to join up with him. You’ll get a new NPC to your party, hooray. Leave this place and head to Eyegouger lair.
HINT: If you try to go to Neverwinter now (and you probably want to do that, in order to get some better equipment for Casavir), you’ll be ambushed by some orcs led by.. the man you freed in Bonegnasher cave. Apparently he wasn’t the emissary after all.
