The hungry dwarf

event Waterfall Ledge · Events (all zones)

A large bear appears in front of you as you are going down the falls. The bear rises up on two legs, and you realize that it is not a bear, but a dwarf wearing a bear's skin. He approaches you and says, "Hey, I'm Grukli. I came here seeking fame and glory, but I was wounded in combat and had to rest in this place. I've run out of food and have had to eat what fish I can find in these waters, but they stink and taste horrible! I've had a stomachache for over a week, and have been hungry the whole time. What I wouldn't give for something fresh that doesn't taste like swamp!" Give him food, or at least cure his stomachache.
