In Forge Of Fury, Yannick's squadron captured an orc raider left for dead by its comrades and brought it back for questioning. Under the influence of enchantment magic, the orc divulged the location of the monsters' lair, a lonely hill called the Stone Tooth. Additionally, stories of Khundrukar and Durgeddin Stonehammer's failed vengeance piqued the lord's interest; the captured orc brandished a broken blade bearing the smith's mark.
To find more, Yannick developed a relationship with guild own Tybus Steelborn, learning from him how to attract adventurers to his causes. He put out a call to mercenaries offering a bounty of 25 gold pieces per orc, dead or alive, and the gratitude of the townsfolk to any who could help end the threat.
Off this call, he hired a group of determined Dwarf adventurers at the Roc's Nest tavern, promising to pay them handsomely for ridding the Stone Tooth of its occupiers. They returned empty-handed of treasure, having lost it all to the Black Dragon Zyrmintyl, but had successfully driven the orcs from the mountain.
