While you approach, he says, "Walker! Walker, a moment!"

Speak with him to begin the quest.

"You will talk to Bakhum? Oh, praise Alkosh! This one carries a heavy burden!"

Slow down. What can I do for you?

"This one is very worried! Bakhum's sister-in-law's uncle's cousin has been writing strange letters. So strange! Something about the "Maw of Lorkhaj." He is a monk, you see? At the Temple of Seven Riddles. Bakhum fears the worst. You will help, yes?"

Where is this temple?

"High in the mountains, to the south of Do'Krin. The rivers are shallow there, but this one has smuggled in shallower. Sailed I mean!
Bakhum would feel better if he brought some muscle along. You have eleven friends, yes? It will be worth your while!"

All right, I'll help you.

You can ask him a few questions before leaving for the temple.

"Bright Moons! Bakhum is ready to set sail when you are, walker."

Who are you trying to find again?

"Bakhum is looking for his sister-in-law's uncle's cousin. We are very close.
Why do you make a face?"

That seems like a pretty distant relation.

"Does it? Well, what can Bakhum say? He values family.
You raise an interesting point though. Our Saturalia Baan-Dar gift swap does take a very, very long time …."

Tell me about these letters from your friend. /Tell me about these letters.

"Yes. Yes, of course. Takanradh has always had a sugar-sweet disposition. He always asks about Bakhum's wife and children, and about Bakhum's shipping operation. So on and so on. But recently, his letters have turned sour."

Sour?

"Very sour. He says that no one appreciates him. He says that his fellow monks are stealing from him, and spying on him. And he says he feels ill—twisted. He called it a "creeping sickness," scraping away at the inside of his skull.
Horrible, yes?"

When you arrive at the temple, you'll need to speak to Bakhum, who is standing over Takanradh.

"Oh, walker … Bakhum did not expect this. This is no simple sickness—it's the work of dro-m'Athra. You must go! This one can hear Lorkhaj's song already. Can you hear it? The tapping?
This one is sorry for bringing you here. Flee while you can!"

This is your friend, right? Will he be all right?

"Taka? Bakhum thinks not. He does not thrash and snarl like the others, but his eyes seem lost at sea, yes? This one will return him to his family. With time and good food … who can say, eh?
Take this, friend, and may Baan Dar dust your tracks."

After the quest:

"You should not linger here long, friend. Take this one's advice—you want no part of what is coming. Be smart like Bakhum and leave this business to the Twilight Cantors."

Notes

• On the PTS Bakhum's boat could continue to be used for one-way transport to the Maw of Lorkhaj even after completion of the related quest.
