After speaking to Captain Vistra and promising to locate the wayward recruit, you'll find him just south of Mire Falls  , chained to a post.  Speak to him and he'll ask for help:
:"Greetings, citizen! I seem to have suffered a temporary setback. I require your assistance."
:What happened to you?
:''"These Bloodthorn cretins ambushed me! And while I was on a mission of incredible importance! There were dozens of them! But I didn't go down without a fight. What will the Lion Guard do without me?"
:You were on an important mission?
:"The Orc that stands … er … sits … before you represents the future of the Lion Guard! I am Recruit Gorak, pride of New Orsinium! Please untie me. We have work to do. We must recover the General's dispatch and return to Captain Vistra."
:We? All right. Hold still.'''

Untie him and he'll stand and say, ''"I took a beating when the Bloodthorns grabbed me. I won't be much help in a fight, but I'll cheer you on!"''

Speak to him and he'll say:
:''"Let's show these Bloodthorn cultists what for!"
:I have some questions.
:"Ask anything, friend!"
:Are there a lot of Orcs in the Lion Guard?
::"Not many. It wasn't so long ago that the alliance was forged between Orsinium and Wayrest. Orcs have spent more years fighting the Lion Guard than joining them. I intend to prove the worth of my people."
:Why were you out here?
::"To prove myself! A messenger disappeared in these swamps several days ago with a dispatch from General Gautier. No one had the wits or the will to venture out here except me. Oh, and you, it would seem."
:You seem different from other Orcs I've met.
::"Really? I'm a paragon of my people and a perfect example of the essence of true Orc. In short, I'm exactly what the Lion Guard needs!"
::You seem pretty intent on making it in the Lion Guard.
::"I grew up reading about the Lion Guard. My mother collected books about the Guard when I was a child. Books such as 'The Lion's Roar,' 'Guardian of my Heart,' and 'For the Love of a Lion.' I read them all. I knew that this is what I wanted to do."''

Find   and return to Aldcroft, if you speak to him before getting near Aldcroft:
:''"Let's get this dispatch back to Aldcroft."

Get close to town and Gorak will thank you and run off for Captain Vistra:
:Recruit Gorak :  "Thank you! I'll take the dispatch to Captain Vistra. Find me later. I owe you a drink!"''

After you arrive in town and go to the captain's tent, you'll find Gorak there waiting:
:''"Tell Captain Vistra what happened out there. She doesn't believe me!"''

After the quest:
If you chose to say "Gorak was amazing", you'll hear the following:
:Captain Vistra: ''"Gorak, you truly distinguished yourself this day. You're no longer a recruit. Welcome to the Lion Guard, Private Gorak."
:Recruit Gorak: "This is the happiest day of my life!"

He will be thrilled:
:"If only my mother could see me now!"''

If you chose to say "Gorak's injuries slowed him down", you'll hear this:
:Captain Vistra :  ''"Gorak, you took the initiative and did your best. You aren't quite ready for the Lion Guard, but you're close."
:Recruit Gorak :  "I understand, Captain. I'll double my efforts and make you proud. You can count on me!"

Gorak apologizes to you:
:"I may have exaggerated a bit. My apologies."''

If you chose to say "Gorak was useless", you'll hear this instead:
:Captain Vistra :  ''"Gorak, you were a fool to run off on your own. Worse, you lied to your superior officer. I'm tempted to toss you out of the Guard for this."
:Recruit Gorak :  "Please, Captain. You can't do that. I'll accept any punishment you want to give me. Just don't crush my dream!"
:Captain Vistra :  "Get to the mess. There are dozens and dozens of potatoes that need to be peeled. And then there are the latrines …."
:Recruit Gorak :  "Yes, Captain! Right away, Captain! You can count on me!"''
