Bullrush is a hobgoblin archer who, in his current state, is a stone statue in the bestiary room located on labyrinth level 3 below Durlag's Tower. He can be released from his predicament without the need for a Stone to Flesh Scroll and will serve Gorion's Ward for a while before becoming mutinous.
Involvement[]
When entering the bestiary by way of the fireball room, the party will be greeted by a skeleton who introduces five "foolish men and women – ancient hero[s]" who "came to find Durlag's treasure" and now are "forever frozen in stone" and then offers a preview of the creatures to be encountered within the room. [1]
These statues can be released by clicking on each of them and they will help the party for a limited time to defeat those creatures the skeleton spoke of, but then turn against the person who dared to command them. [2]
Bullrush is one of these statues. Once turned back to flesh, he greets the party and offers his exceptional abilities as an archer in the forthcoming battles.
| “ | I am Bullrush of the clan Blackmane. There is nothing that can escape the sting of my arrows. Show me your enemies so that I may kill them and drink their blood. | ” |
However, as the skeleton mentioned, his oath doesn't last long – only fifteen rounds, after which he turns hostile towards the party.
Notes[]
As with the other resurrected statue creatures, the party can choose to attack him before he turns hostile. He will not fight back, and will be easily killed.

- ↑ Greetings, adventurers. So many of you have come down to loot the ancient basements of Durlag, yet none ever return. Adventurers are not known for their wisdom. Otherwise they'd have chosen a safer profession. Take the five people that stand behind me, forever frozen in stone. Each one of these foolish men and women came to find Durlag's treasure. Now they stand vigil over Durlag's bestiary. Most of the other creatures have long disintegrated to dust, but the great wyrm known as Mechezarin still hangs in its original repose of death. Breathtaking, isn't he?
- ↑ If you travel further into the room, you will find the only living creatures that remain within the bestiary. These winged beasts have lived for centuries, augmented by ancient and powerful magics. None so far have been able to defeat them. However, if you wish to defeat the terrible beasts, there is help available to you. Each of the statues behind me houses the cursed body of some poor hero. By depressing the button at the base of each statue, you will release the ancient hero. The hero is enspelled to serve you for a short time, but after that time has run out, he'll take his revenge on he who dared command him. There's nothing more for me to say. Goodbye now.
