And Then There Were Two...

Search the Utgarde Catacombs for Glorenfeld.

There's no sign of the cipher on Zedd. After carefully searching the area you discover some writing in the dirt:

"Glor and Dae inside catacombs. Have cipher and tablets."

Perhaps you should head to the catacombs located north of here and search for Glorenfeld and Daegarn. The bridge crossing the worg pit will lead you right to the tunnel leading down into the catacombs.

About bloody time! Pulroy and Zedd are dead.

And Daegarn...

<Glorenfeld shakes his head.>

Taken by the Dragonflayer chieftain into the depths of these catacombs. I overhead that oversized mongrel mention something 'bout a sacrifice to the "Dread King."

The cipher is hidden away in Daegarn's grimy beard.

What? Dwarves hide things in their beards all the time!

This quest may be a reference to "And Then There Was Silence", a song of the power-metal group Blind Guardian or, more probably, a reference to "...And Then There Were Three...", the ninth album of the Genesis. It could also be a reference to Agatha Christie's "Ten Little Soldier-Boys", where the nursery rhyme with the same name plays a significant part in the killer's methods of killing his victims.
