If you're going to fight the king of this dump - and I think that's what you're bound to do - then you're going to need to get by Captain Kromcrush.  Now, you can get by him by killing him, sure.  You might actually want to leave him alive.$B$BHow, you ask?  Since I've been here, I think I know how to make an ogre suit that will last just long enough to fool these bozos.  The only problem is stability - ten minutes tops.  Bring me what I need, and I'll make you one.  I'm not going anywhere...
