Who Will Be My Captain
In Chapter 5, the hero must choose a captain for the voyage to Irdorath as part of assembling the crew (see No Crew, No Journey). Three candidates are available: Torlof on Onar's farm (recommended by Lee), Jack at the lighthouse, and Jorgen at the Monastery of Fire. Each requires completing a task before they agree to serve as captain. Torlof demands 2,500 gold and wants the hero to let the orcs into the castle first. Jack needs a replacement lighthouse keeper before he can leave. Jorgen becomes available after clearing the demons in Xardas' Tower and speaking to Pyrokar.
