Oorbesh

Oorbesh is an Orc ghosthunter who can be found outside the Corelanya Manor. She came to the Manor to exorcize spirits and has found out, to her annoyance, that her rival, Gahz has also come to the manor to do the same thing.

She originally came from a stronghold in Orsinium and was inspired by a visiting ghost hunter group. A few years ago, she and Gahz became stranded on Solstice after a shipwreck. And if this job is successful, Oorbesh will have enough money to book passage off the island.

While nearby the Corelanya Manor, you may hear Oorbesh grousing as you approach:

Oorbesh: "Oppressive aura, my tusks. I'll show her an oppressive aura."

Speak with her to find out what she is doing here:

"You're not from around here, are you? Not all hung up on local superstitions. Good.
You looking for work? I could use someone to guard my back while I clear the ghosts out of that haunted mansion up on the hill."
Haunted mansion?
"The locals call it Corelanya Manor. They say it's abandoned and free for salvage. There's rumors of treasure, too. But also that no one who goes after it ever comes out. I'm not so worried about that.
There's one other catch, though."
What's that?
"We've got competition. Another so-called ghost hunter trying to beat me to the punch. So we've gotta do it first.
And, look. If we do happen to find long-lost treasure while we're in there, I'll cut you in for a share. What do you say?"
All right. I'll help you clear out this haunted manor.
"Gahz is the name of my rival ghost hunter. Last I saw her, she was hanging around the front doors to the manor.
Maybe you could talk to her and see what she's planning? Then we'll know how to keep ahead of her once we get inside."

Once you agree to help, you can ask Oorbesh a few questions:

Can you tell me more about Gahz? / Who is this other ghost hunter you mentioned?
"She's a whimpering little know-it-all who isn't happy unless she's the center of attention.
You seem like a quick study. We're about to go talk to her. You'll see exactly what I mean."
What else can you tell me about Corelanya Manor?
"Besides it once belonging to necromancers? Not much. These Corelanyas really don't like talking about their ancestors.
Oh, that's right. No Corelanya that went inside ever made it out. Dead or alive. But we're not Corelanyas. We'll be all right."
How long have you been hunting ghosts?
"Look, I'll be honest with you. I'm a bit of an amateur ghost hunter. I cleared out one good haunting, but Gahz got all the credit for it.
That's why this job is so important. It's how I'm finally gonna make a name for myself."
What was the other haunting you mentioned?
"Glenumbra. The Haunting of Chill House.
I did all the hard work while Gahz was more concerned about all that unfinished business nonsense. She got the reward. And the notoriety. And I didn't get so much as a thank you."
How did you end up here?
"I booked passage on a ship going to the farthest place from where I was at the time. Found out too late that Gahz did, too. Just to spite me!
We shipwrecked here on Solstice a while back. With the reward money, I'll finally be able to leave."
What made you decide to be a ghost hunter?
"I was inspired by a ghost hunting group that visited our stronghold back in Orsinium. Turns out there's a lot more physicality to ghost hunting than I thought!
I was tired of wrestling bears back home. Punching ghosts? That's a real challenge."
You can punch ghosts?
"Yeah. Can't you?
But look, it's a secondary measure. I give the ghosts the chance to leave first. If they don't, or can't, that's when I introduce them to my fists."

You can then follow the path to the front door of the manor, where there will be an orc in blue and brown clothing looking around:

<The orc notices Oorbesh.>
Gahz: "Oh. You're back."
Oorbesh: "I knew you were too much of a lamb's liver to go inside on your own."
Gahz: "It's not like I was waiting for you! I was looking for traps. Who's this with you?"

If you talk to Oorbesh before Gahz:

"You talk to Gahz. Find out what she's planning so we can stay ahead of her once we get inside.
I never get anywhere when I try to talk to her."

Talking with Gahz, she immediately mentions what Oorbesh neglected to say, the pair are sisters who have a bunch of grievances with each other. You can inform her of Oorbesh's offer of a cut of the treasure for your assistance, which is also what she was going to offer you for your help. You can then ask her about what she knows about the manor, along with her side of the story regarding she and her sister's relationship.

Speaking with Oorbesh before entering the manor:

"Sorry you had to hear Gahz whine so much. Just imagine that all hours of the day, every day, for years. Then you'll understand what it was like to grow up with her.
Well? You ready to head inside?"
