Walkthrough
After the big battle at the end of Noble Intentions, speak to Orozar Highstone again to trigger Plan B. He'll begin to rush off through the caverns. On following him, you'll face a couple of easy mobs, and then find Highstone's brother, Ural Highstone. There will be a cutscene, and Highstone will transform his brother into a bundle item.

After the cutscene, Highstone will tell you to pick up his brother and escort both of them out of Sorrow's Furnace. He'll rush to a raised bridge. Defend him from the two foes there. He'll then ask you to grab a master gear to lower the bridge. The problem is that just on the other side of the bridge there's a large mob (about a score foes) waiting for you, where it's very possible that either you or Highstone will die and the quest will end (automatic return to outpost: no resurrection). More enemies will also come from behind you. The party will need to be well-coordinated.

The idea is that your party is attempting to escape Stone Summit pursuit by taking an alternate path out of Sorrow's Furnace. The problem with this is that Orozar Highstone is delaying things by stopping and engaging whatever enemy he aggros, enabling the enemies coming up from behind to always catch up. Your party must be able to fight on two fronts. Support Orozar as he attacks those in front, but focus your firepower on the enemies from behind first. Eventually, you'll reach the exit, where Ural (the bundle, which looks hilarious when carried by a caster while casting) will automatically drop and the quest will be complete. Remember to accept your reward from Orozar before exiting Sorrow's Furnace.

Variations
There are two ways to make this quest easier, should your party be unable to handle the Stone Summit numbers (which will be the case should you be attempting this with only henchmen) or if you prefer not to fight so much. Proceed along the quest as normal until you reach the bridge. Do not lower the bridge, but instead do either:


 * 1) Backtrack to the starting cave, and head in a northeasterly direction, aiming for the other end of the bridge. You will pass by a resurrection shrine, some heavy machinery, and a big cavern hung with chains. This is aimed at clearing away the stationary mobs before returning all the way to Orozar to lower the bridge. The subsequent run to the entrance will be much easier. An option here is that you bring with you a Master Gear from a gearbox (there is one by the brother and some on the way) and use that to lower the bridge from the other side (saving you the time to run back) - hurry over the bridge to pick up the brother and continue the quest because lowering the bridge will trigger some large patrols that will come the way you used when first entering the brother's cave.
 * 2) Exploit the quest trigger for quest completion. Simply carry Ural Highstone all the way back to the entrance until he is automatically dropped. Then run all the way back to Orozar for the reward. Keep in mind that the foes on your path, friendly during Noble Intentions, will now have turned hostile.

Initial dialogue
Orozar Highstone
 * "Well, uh, that didn't go so well. Seems money can't buy everything.  Guess we'll have to improvise.  If ye'll continue to assist me in my efforts to retrieve my brother, there will be something extra in it for ye."
 * Accept: "We've come this far. Let's see this to the end."
 * Decline: "You're right, money can't buy everything. You're on your own."
 * When asked about quest: "Please, we must find my brother quickly, before news gets out that he's joined the Summit!"

Intermediate dialogue 1
While heading towards where Ural is located:
 * Orozar Highstone: "We've won this battle, but there's bound to be more of them. Quickly, this way! My informant said my brother should be just 'round the bend here."
 * Orozar Highstone: "This way! We've got to get my brother back."
 * Orozar Highstone: "Just a but further, now. Come on!"

Intermediate dialogue 2
In the cutscene upon meeting Ural Highstone
 * Orozar Highstone: "Do ye know how much gold ye've cost me, Ural?"
 * Ural Highstone: "Do ye ever think about anything other than gold, Orozar?"
 * Orozar Highstone: "As a matter of fact, I do: our family's honor. Something ye think nothing about, apparently."
 * Ural Highstone: "Family honor? Bah! Ye're just afraid the "scandal" will put an end to yer political aspirations."
 * Orozar Highstone: "Ye worthless runt. I should just leave ye here to rot with the rest of these Summit scum."
 * Ural Highstone: "Maybe ye should. At least here I'm not treated like a beardless child!"
 * Orozar Highstone: "Enough! Take yer last look at this miserable place and let's go."
 * Ural Highstone: "Go home, Orozar. I'm not leaving."
 * Orozar Highstone: "One way or another, you're coming with us Ural!"

Intermediate dialogue 3
After the cutscene:

Intermediate dialogue 4
Repeated as long as the party is in the area and the bridge is not lowered:

Reward dialogue
Orozar Highstone
 * "I'm sorry for involving ye in this fiasco with my brother, but ye were certainly instrumental in his rescue. My family owes ye a debt of gratitude."
