The | The party will encounter Barcus tied to a windmill being harassed by a group of [[goblin]]s led by [[Fezzerk]]. If the Goblins are defeated or convinced to leave, Barcus will demand to be untied. To rescue Barcus, the party must pull the '''Brake''' lever inside the windmill. Pulling the '''Release''' lever causes Barcus to be shot through the sky due to inertia and die. | ||
If rescued, depending on the [[race]] of the party member talking to him, Barcus will either surrender himself as a slave or ask the party what he can give them as a reward. He will explain he is looking for a friend who has gone missing and then take his leave. | |||
If the party leaves the [[Wilderness]] map before resolving the situation at the windmill, Barcus can be found dead in the Blighted Village, as if the party used the '''Release''' lever. | |||
If | If Barcus survives his predicament at the windmill, he will be found again at [[Grymforge]], where he has been enslaved by [[duergar]] led by [[Nere]]. If freed again, he will tell the party the person he is looking for is his friend Wulbren, who was taken to [[Moonrise Towers]]. Barcus can then be convinced to join the Camp on the way to Moonrise Towers, and become a Camp Follower. | ||
If Barcus is in the camp for the celebration after the liberation of the [[Emerald Grove]] (i.e., if the three Goblin leaders are killed ''after'' rescuing Barcus from both the windmill ''and'' Grymforge) he can be persuaded to, with some reluctance, set off fireworks for the party. | |||
