When the party reaches Orph, the woodcutter tries to talk to with the animals but finds that he is unable to understand them. However, he is able to communicate with the humans. He learns that long before the party arrives, Orph was protected by the white wolves. A monster, Deathpal, threaten the town. The white wolves fought the monster and sealed him in a coffin within Mt. Ceide, the mountain of God. However, it did not come without a price. Many wolves were slain. For a time, there was peace.

However, sometime before the arrival of the party, the coffin was opened from the outside and [[Deathpal]] returned. He started to kill the wolves that imprisoned him long ago. One of the causalities was a mother wolf. She gave birth to a wolf cub who was taken in by a local farmer. To spite the wolves, he cast a spell on Orph which changed all humans into animals and vice versa. He returned to Mt. Ceide afterwards.

After the battle is finished, the party thanks the boy, who identifies himself as Gabo. They are surprised that he is able to speak but he can only communicate in simple sentences like "Gabo go" and growling.

They party, along with the white wolf, the woodcutter and Gabo, return to the portal and step through it, finding themselves back in the Estard Ruins. The woodcutter tries to bring Gabo with him but he refuses, saying that the seal on Deathpal could have only been broken on the outside and that whomever broke the seal was very powerful. Therefore, he wanted to defeat the evil that broke the seal in Mt. Ceide. The woodcutter acknowledges this requests and allows Gabo to go with the party.
