Yes.

I don't think it was a very tough quest. Notice how sensitive Garrath
is when he leaves the cradle?
'Garrath cannot stay nor lead, for his services are required
Any *real* Orlanthi who has just been called a coward would IMO smite
elsewhere. If a player-character wishes to insult Garrath's
courage or honor by insinuating cowardiance, Garrath will
promise to remember that slur after he finishes tasks beyond
the understanding of the foolish. He and his bodyguard will
depart'

the dog who slurred him thus. By claiming that he will remember the
insult and that what he is doing is 'beyond the understanding of the
foolish', one is left with the nasty suspicion that the charge has hit
home. IMO Argrath's HQ to retrieve P. was dead easy while the PCs
were busy dying the decks of the Cradle with their lifeblood.
