General Godrun's Orders

Sergeant Olfin can be met sitting in the dirt just inside the gate.

"Well, that didn't work. Time to come up with a new plan...again."

What went wrong?

"What went wrong? I'll tell you what went wrong—I was trained to fight ogres, not rocks!
We can't even get to the ogres! It's those damn boulders they're throwing. Every time we try to charge across, another one of my soldiers gets smushed!"

General Godrun sent me here to help.

"Did he? You can't fly, can you? Sure would make it easier. Failing that, if you're willing to make a run for it, I'll cheer you on...from back here.
One tip: don't run in a straight line. Zig-zag. Hide behind the rocks and you just might make it."

What should I do when I get across?

"If you can make the ridge, I bet fifty gold those ogres fall back.
Take my warhorn. If you get across, climb the tower and blow the horn. That will signal us to move up and establish a forward command post. Guts and glory, friend!"

Speaking to him again:

"Whatever you do, don't hesitate.
If you get out there and start doubting yourself, we'll be scraping you off the bottom of a rock."

Once they player has gotten to the tower to sound the warhorn:

Sergeant Olfin: "The ogres are running! We can move up! Sound the horn!"

After the horn is sounded:

General Godrun: "Tell your soldiers to stand down, Sergeant. When the reinforcements come, we march south."

Sergeant Olflin: "Stand down? What do you mean? This is our chance to finish the ogres off!"

When he is spoken to after descending the tower:

"Well done! Frankly, I thought we'd be peeling you off the bottom of a rock, but hey, you made it!
Now's our chance to drive the ogres back into the mountains. We can end this thing! I don't know why the general's hesitating!"

Ending the Ogre Threat

Once Ending the Ogre Threat is started:

"I don't understand why the general's holding us back, or what this glorious next battle is that he keep talking about.
It's not my place to question orders either, though."

After speaking with Ghashur after completing the mission, Olfin can be found in the Command Center where he is very worried.

"So you survived? I worried you were buried along with the ogres. For collapsing that cavern, you deserve a medal!
Unfortunately though, General Godrun's in no condition to hand out awards."

What happened to General Godrun?

"I-I don't know. When he heard the cavern collapse, he declared "mission accomplished" for the Ironhand Ogres.
But then he ordered me to muster the troops and prepare to march on Wayrest!.

After finishing the quest, you can ask him more questions.

"I don't understand what happened to the general, but I will say he just hasn't been himself lately.
If there's anything I can do to help him, please let me know."

Where are they now?

"They're just upstairs. I know Abbot Durak will be relieved to see you.
He said to send you up right away when you returned. Whatever's going on, I hope you can help General Godrun. He's like a father to me."

Wayrest Castle

Sergeant Olfin can be met at Wayrest Castle after Vaermina's Gambit, where General Godrun is swearing fealty to King Emeric.

"In all the years I've known him, I've never seen Godrun so emotional.
I'm sure the king will forgive him, but I worry that he will not be able to forgive himself."
