Icewind Dale II Hints
Can I free the elven prisoners that are held just outside the orc camp?
1 of 5: It's not necessary, but it will get you some bonus XP.
2 of 5: The dread orc leader, Kratuuk, has the key that opens the door in the fang-like cage bars (and Blagh'mah has a copy of the key).
3 of 5: However, if you're peaceful with the orcs at the moment and want to stay that way, don't open the elves' cage yet.
4 of 5: Kratuuk will attack when you finish his quest and return, so just wait until after that to free the elves.
5 of 5: Once the cage is open, talk to Tsol Silverblade to complete the quest.
