Borne

Borne is a goblin captain who heads a Prison Tower on the world of Tarna. He appears in Ultima Underworld II

Description
Borne seemed a nervous and uncertain commander. At the time of the Avatar's arrival in his world, he had been tasked with the interrogation of the legendary freedom fighter, Bishop, and was growing increasingly desperate as his attempts to wrest information from the rebel leader all met with failure.

Upon meeting the Avatar, Borne (having difficulty telling one human from another) mistook them for a inquisitor from the Tarnan capital known as Lorca Batan, and the hero would be able to use this misstep to their advantage. By playing along with the goblin leader's misconceptions, they could gain access to Bishop for the purposes of releasing him and could eventually bluff their way into obtaining the miniature blackrock gem which had manifested in the Prison Tower's dimension. They could also contrive a story which would convince Borne to grant them access to the prison's keys and could thereafter release the troll Garg, who would proceed to slaughter all the goblins within the outpost.

Trivia

 * The Avatar may conspire with Borne to assassinate Bishop and to thereafter inform the capital that he committed suicide, thereby circumventing the need to interrogate him.
 * Should the Avatar betray themselves as not being the inquisitor or appear to be leaving Borne in an intractable position regarding Bishop, the goblin will attack them.
