I'll get around to fixing her up soon enough.

I'm glad we finally have this settled. You can let Leile Guiscard know I'll return to work once I manage to get my hands on a new set of tools.

Well, where's the coin? I expect payment, not a promise.

Then get lost.

If you're not up to the task of fixing my tools, then coin is the only option.

Let's see what you can do. Ugh, this is sloppy work. You've put my tools in even worse shape! The price for finishing the Elfmaid's repairs just went up.

Are you sure you know what you're doing? Repairing these tools is more delicate work that sharpening a blunt battle axe.

Let's see what you can do. Hmm... your repairs aren't half bad. My tools should hold up for the rest of the job. You can let Leile Guiscard know I'll return to work soon.

That should be enough to buy new tools, but it certainly won't bring much of a profit. Still, it sounds like Leile Guiscard is giving you as much trouble as she's giving me. You can let her know I'll get back to work.

Well, where's the coin? I expect payment, not a promise.

That will hardly cover my tools, let alone my labor. You'll have to give a better offer.

That sounds like a fair sum. You can let Leile Guiscard know I'll return to work soon.

Well, where's the coin? I expect payment, not a promise.

You've ruined my tools beyond repair. The price is now 200 gold. Pay up or tell Leile Guiscar her ship isn't going anywhere.

Like I said, I'm not going to finish repairing the Elfmaid unless you make it worth my while. What do you have to offer?

Yes, I was repairing that ship, and yes I've quit. I'm used to fixing up local fishing boats and the like. This merchant ship is a much bigger task. My tools are already worn out from the work I've done so far, and the price I foolishly agreed to won't even cover the cost of replacing them. Either you give me a worthwhile offer, or you can tell Leile Guiscard her ship can sink for all I care.

I'm glad to hear that Nidril Tadare will resume work. As unreliable as he is, he's still the best we can hope for in this backwater. Go talk to Asint in the cargo hold. He'll unload Merlador's shipment for you.

With Nidril Tadare dead, we'll be stuck here even longer.

You can find Nidril Tadare in his home, here in Bal Oyra. Convince him to finish the work that we agreed to.

The Elfmaid was badly damaged in a storm as we crossed the nearby strait. I hired a local Dunmer, Nidril Tadare, to make repairs but he's proven to be untrustworthy. He left the work half-done and demanded I pay him even more to finish the job. With Merlador backing out, this voyage has already become unprofitable. I won't be handing over any more coin. If you want that fabric shipment, go convince Nidril Tadare to finish fixing our ship. He should be loafing around in his house.

The Elfmaid was badly damaged in a storm as we crossed the nearby strait. I hired a local Dunmer, Nidril Tadare, to make repairs, But he's dead. We were relying on him to make the Elfmaid seaworthy again. So I suppose there's not much to be done after all. Move along.
