Yes. The box was just what I was looking for.

Perfect. Just what I was looking for. Just let me take this Dwemer puzzle box, and then I'll tell you what Caius will want to know about the Sixth House. And about the Nerevarine. By the way, the inscriptions on the box seem to be the directions for setting a Dwemer key to open a specific lock. If you're interested, after you've delivered your report to Caius, come back, and maybe I'll have a key you can take back to Arkngthand.

Right. As I said, get me the Dwemer puzzle box from Arkngthand, and I'll tell you what you want to know.

There are Dwemer ruins nearby called Arkngthand. I need you to run over there and find me a little cube with a circular design and some symbols on one side. It's called 'a Dwemer puzzle box'. Bring me back the Dwemer puzzle box, and I'll tell you what you want to know.

You must REALLY think I'm dense, %PCRace. Like YOU could put together a whole suit of Daedric Armor! I'm sure you just think you're so funny, don't you? Well, I'll teach you to laugh at me! You just wait, %PCName. I'll get you when you least expect it!!!

I'm sorry, what? Oh, come on. Look at you! I'm sure you've got a whole stash of ebony weapons someplace! Probably have your own Ebony mine! I know you can spare it, so hand it over!

Wow. What a great sword. I've held a few swords in my lifetime, but this... this is exquisite. Okay, clearly you've got some connections. How about getting me, your good friend, a full suit of Daedric armor? I'm sure there's enough floating around that you can find it, and get it for me. What do you say?

What, you don't have one? Well, then don't offer me something you don't have! Sheesh. Some people. But listen. I don't need the sword all that badly, so it's okay. What I could REALLY use is a full suit of Daedric armor. I'm sure you've got an extra lying around someplace, right? Or you could dig one up for me? How about it, %PCName?

Do you really think I'm that stupid? No one walks around with a million gold on them; that's ludicrous! I won't stand for this kind of patronizing! I WILL NOT BE MOCKED! You'll see, %PCName. You'll ALL see. I'll get you!

No?.... NO? You don't say "no" to me! NO ONE SAYS "NO" TO GAENOR! Oh, don't you think I'll forget this. I'll remember you, %PCRace, and I'll get you for it. I promise you that!

I AM speaking the same language, right? I mean, you understand what I'm saying? Well, then why can't you seem to understand that I need this money? Give it to me!

What? Wait - let's try that again. I need ten thousand gold from you. You're going to give it to me, right?

I don't even know what to say. I'll never be able to truly pay you back for this. You've restored my faith in the world, %PCName. And boy, are you ever rich! I bet you've got a million gold. In fact, I bet you've got ten million! You must be the richest %PCRace ever! You should give me a million, don't you think? Then we can both be millionaires!

Oh, I see. You think this is all just some kind of joke. Offering me money you don't have. Well, I won't be laughed at. DO YOU HEAR ME? I won't stand for it! I'll get you, %PCRace. I'll get you back for this, and then we'll see who's laughing!

Are you some kind of miser or something? I mean, seriously. A hundred gold, and you can't part with it? I've given away ten times as much in my day; a hundred gold is nothing! Now really, just hand it over already!

Ha ha. Quite the communication break-down we're having here, isn't it? I can see I'm just not getting through to you. Let me try this one last time, okay? It's ten gold. I know you have it. You won't miss it. I need it more than you do! Give it to me, okay?

Oh, come on. We've come this far with it. You've already proven yourself to be the generous type; why not go that extra step and really impress me? It's not like I'm asking for your first-born child here... Seriously. Think about it for a moment.

Wow! You have no idea what this means to me, %PCName. I've never held this much gold in my life! Well, heck. You've just got money to burn, don't you? I bet you could spare another 10000 gold, couldn't you? C'mon. I know you've got it. Let's have it!

Umm, you don't seem to have that much. Well, I'm not particular. I'll just as easily take an ebony shortsword. Got one of those you can give me?

Heh. Umm, maybe I'm not being clear here. I'm trying to say that I'd REALLY appreciate it if you could just help me out a little bit. It's only a hundred gold. I'm sure you've got that much, and I'm sure you wouldn't even miss it. So come on. Really. Help me out!

You really are something, %PCName. I can see we're going to get along famously! Okay, I'll be up front with you. If I could just have another, oh, thousand gold or so, I can really make it here. I just know it. You've been so good to me, and it's clear that you've got the money... Just a little more help, that's all I ask for. You'll do it, right?

I love it that you want to help, but you don't have that much? Are you sure? Hmm. Well, perhaps we could work out some other sort of deal. Have you got maybe, I don't know, a nice ebony shortsword I could have? I mean, that'd be worth more than fifty gold, I know, but the value of that alone would solve all my problems. What do you say?

Are you sure about that? I mean, to look at you, it's obvious that you're a %PCRace of means. I imagine you wouldn't even know that the gold was gone. Think about it for another second or two. Think about how much it'd mean to me, about what a great help it would be.

Splendid! I really do appreciate it, and I must say, you're quite the generous soul. In fact, as long as we're talking, and getting along so well, do you think maybe you could spot me another hundred? I'm quite sure that I can pay you back in just a few days time. I've always had excellent luck when it comes to these sort of things. So, what do you say?

Glad you asked. As you may have noticed, I'm not looking my best at the moment. I'm a little, shall we say, down on my luck, which is NOT something I'm used to, let me tell you. At any rate, I'm looking for a little starting capital to get things rolling here in Mournhold - I've recently arrived myself, as well - and I thought you might be able to help me out. Think you could part with, say, fifty gold?

I've no more favors to ask of you, %PCName. You've done more than enough.

Thank you for aiding me, %PCName. I'm afraid there's more serious work to be done, now that I've determined the Crimson Plague is behind all this.

I know, I know. It's a menial task. I do apologize, but it needs to be done.

I hope it's not too much of an imposition, but there's another sick individual that needs healing. Athelyn Malas is out in the Temple Courtyard; the Ordinators won't let him come in. They've seen the increase in people requesting healing from the Temple, and fear that allowing him access will only spread whatever disease it is he carries. Can you take a Cure Disease Potion to him?

Thank you for delivering the potion, %PCName.

If you could just deliver that potion, %PCName, I'd be most appreciative. Things have been so busy here that I simply can't do it myself.

Yes. Well. It's not much, really. A simple delivery that needs to be made, actually. Geon Auline reported being ill earlier this week, yet refuses to come to the Temple for healing. Some nonsense about a collection of his. At any rate, if he will not come to us, then we must take the initiative and go to him. Will you deliver this Cure Disease Potion to him?

Fair enough, friend. I wish you well. Return to me if you change your mind.

A gentleman of status like me would not be able to enjoy the fruits of his labor were it not for those brave souls that dedicate their lives to upholding the law. I'd like to reward the local law enforcement with some fine drinks. Here, take these bottles of Sujamma, go to the Customs Warehouse, and offer them to Urzoga gra-Buk and the guards that are stationed there.

I have no use for tactless boors like you, %PCName.

You have caused quite a ruckus at the warehouse. For what possible reason did Urzoga need to die? I'm afraid I have no more use for you.

Would you still be interested in doing me a little favor? I'll make it worth your while.

Thank you for offering our friends in law enforcement those bottles of Sujamma. Here, take this, as a reward for being such a helpful %PCRace. And here, maybe you'll find this book interesting.

Thank you for offering our friends in law enforcement those bottles of Sujamma. As promised, here's Vodunius' gold. It was a pleasure doing business with you. And here, maybe you'll find this book interesting.

Offer the Sujamma to Urzoga gra-Buk and the guards at the Contraband Warehouse, friend.

Here, take these bottles of sujamma, go to the Customs Warehouse, and offer them to Urzoga gra-Buk and the guards that are stationed there. Don't be too pushy. If they won't accept the gift, then that's their choice. Just offer them a bottle each.

Oh, do not worry my friend, nothing dangerous. Or illicit. Just a little charitable errand, in fact. I'll let you know the precise details if I win our wager.

I don't think I owe you anything, do I?

We're all much happier now.

The shield has been exorcised? Thank you, %PCName. I will rest easy tonight. As promised, I'll release Calaciren from her contract. Keep the shield, too. Even if it's cleansed now, I don't want to sleep with it in my hold anymore.

I see you've got that accursed shield. Please take it to the Chapel of Kynareth and exorcise the spirit.

Have you dealt with the shield, %PCName?

I'll release Calaciren if you solve the problem I wanted her to deal with. Now, keep this quiet, but I think this ship is haunted. We've had eerie noises coming from the lower deck ever since I picked up a Dwemer shield on the coast around Kemel-Ze. Then recently, the noises stopped. When I went down there, the shield was nowhere to be found. I'm not convinced this is the end of the haunting, not one bit, %PCName. Please find the shield and exorcise the spirit within.

I'll release Calaciren if you solve the problem I wanted her to deal with. Now, keep this quiet, but I think this ship is haunted. Ever since I picked up a Dwemer shield on the coast around Kemel-Ze, there have been eerie noises coming from the lower deck. Frankly, the first mate and I are too scared to check it out. Who knows what kind of devilry is going on down there. Surely an Imperial Cult member can resolve this, right? Here's the key to the deck.

I see. Well then, I suppose I should discuss further plans with Irvym. Good day, %PCRace.

Excellent! I suggest you look in public buildings such as taverns and shops; barbarians like Staron are often found in those locations. You must not kill him -- leave that to us.

Have you changed your mind?

As you can see, we are in quite a predicament which is why I ask for your help. If you're willing; find Staron and convince him to leave this town, ultimately bringing him into our hands. I can assure you that there will be compensation for your efforts. Are you up for the task?

Yes, my comrade and I have been tasked with finding a certain individual named Staron, a Redguard who is wanted for the murder of a Temple priest. However, the ruler of this settlement, in his heretical ways, stands in opposition to the just law of the Tribunal Temple and has not permitted us to enter. If we had the strength of numbers, we would enter the town and take him by force. But unfortunately we do not, so we'll need to try another tactic.

You would not help me, and I'm now stuck with that horrible Argonian!

Your help was very much appreciated.

You have done well. I will be rid of that Argonian vermin soon! Here are 200 drakes for your discreet help in locating the right person for the job. Also feel free to take any of the items from the body of the dead mercenary, you've earned them.

That's too bad, I thought you would have been more helpful to me.

Excellent, %PCName. Now, after you find a suitable candidate, hire him or her to do the job. Don't worry; you can get any money back that you spent to obtain their services once they are dead. I will of course provide a reward at the successful conclusion of our business.

How are you progessing with the favor I asked you to perform?

This will serve as a warning that Trelo will heed. Then maybe I can convince him to get rid of that awful Argonian and replace it with a much nicer, or at least better smelling, non-beast slave. Will you help me find a suitable mercenary for this task?

My husband, Trelo, has recently purchased yet another foul beast slave after I asked that he bring home a non-beast slave. This will not do. I will not tolerate a disobedient husband. I need to make him understand that he should listen to my desires. I would like you to hire a mercenary to assassinate Trelo, and I don't know of any. Before you act surprised, understand that I do love my foolish husband, and thus I need you to hire a mercenary who won't really stand a chance of harming him.
