Lump the Enlightened
Lump the Enlightened is an extremely eloquent, intelligent ogre, hired by Goblins to do their dirty work. He fights alongside his minions, Chock and Fank, both way dumber than him.
You can hire Lump the Enlightened for the right amount of gold and call him into battle if needed, or outtalk him to hire him for free. You can also attack and kill the Ogres to get a valuable item.
Preparing for the battle against Lump the Enlightened
Before engaging Lump's party, look around the destroyed room and take note of some potential threats. There are some objects nearby the Ogres can use during battle.
Look at the trap hanging above one of the Ogres. You can collapse a pillar to drop a boulder on its head, but be careful - the Ogre nearby can do the same. If any party member of yours stands near the boulder, they'll end up crushed, damaged and likely dead.
There are many objects scattered throughout the room, such as barrels and chairs. The Ogres will try to reach them and throw them at you. Thankfully they don't deal much damage (ranging from 2 to 4) and the Ogres have lousy accuracy.
Before engaging Lump and his allies, you should position your party on high ground in advance to increase your chances.
Climb the stone steps to the left of the ruined hut to reach the roof. If you can't climb the low-hanging roof, just jump there.
Once you're at the top, place your party members on the exposed beam. This will give them some solid ground and a line of sight of the Ogres below them.
How to defeat Lump the Enlightened?
With your party positioned on the roof, they'll have High Ground advantage on the enemies, drastically increasing their accuracy. Lump's guards won't be able to reach them, so they'll be limited to throwing things. That's not the case with Lump though, as he can still easily hurt you.
He's capable of spellcasting, making him very dangerous. This makes him your primary target - eliminate him as soon as possible.
Once he drops to half health, he'll create three mirror images of himself, which significantly reduce your accuracy against him, as the images can take hits for him. Keep attacking until he falls.
Once he's down, focus on one of this guards. Chock usually stands to the right, using nearby objects as improvised weapons. A couple good hits should be enough to take him down.
Fank, the last surviving opponent, shouldn't pose too much of a threat after that - you'll most likely finish him quickly, finishing the battle without losing any party members.
Rewards for defeating Lump the Enlightened
Defeating the Orgres will, of course, be rewarded accordingly. In the belly of Lump the Enlightened, you'll find a journal, some gold, and a rare green item, the Warped Headband of Intellect. It's an extremely powerful artifact, which increases the wearer's Intelligence to 17.
