Lenley says.. *we goout past pig-men orcs?*
i will have to visit again, but i don't recall orcs in the rat caves........
sure it works though.

I suspect you can go either direction. If leading him out thru the sewer tunnels doens't get immediate results, then continue leading him back up the passage to the outside of the wooden gate. I'll bet you get the quest completion there, just speculation though.

Probly means if you don't use the caves or even if you do you will still run into an orc or two before you it the Sanctuary Entrance.

Do not read to far into it. There are orcs in Sanctuary. Lenley cant be healed by anyone else but himself. Lenley is a mage and will heal himself and he wont bother to help you. Once he is targeted by spawn he will charge forward. Must be a distant cousin of Dip's.

zzzz...... zzzzz..... zzzz..... *wakes up, grabs the nearest weapon and charges*

Oh, just Maddux talking about me again.

What is it about Lenley that has our mighty Justicar's afraid to go rescue him and recover the gem? Surly the reward far exceeds the danger and amount of time necessary to accomplish such a task.....

Perhaps, you should know something of the gems. The powerful orbs known as the palantíri made in ancient days by the Elves in Aman, and indeed said to have been the work of Fëanor himself. In appearance they were dark, perfectly smooth globes of various capabilities and sizes; some were small and portable, others so huge that they could not be lifted by a Man. The powerful crystalline globes that enabled their users to witness events and communicate with one another over great distances. Its importance is very great to us.

It is not the fear that keeps the Justicars from rescueing Lenley Maddux. The Justicars stare fear in the eye, and attack. It's as simple as the task not being as easy as it looks. A brisk walk to the gates of Sanctuary would be very easy if we didn't have to save Lenley from an onslaught of what seems to be a never ending supply of orcs, rats, and gargoyles.

Not saying it can't or won't be done, the Justicars will continue the efforts, reward or not. We know the value of the gem, and will see the safe return of it.

ok, ok...... stop..........
it worked, you have shamed me into making the ultimate sacrifice here.
i go to sanctuary this day to die...................
(you noble people on a guilt trip yet, or must i continue this dialogue?)

Skatha your valiant efforts have been noted. I wish you the best of luck

I thought we had to bring him to the gates of Sanctuary.
