I don't think that slave came from our plantation. But you better ask my son Folms. He should be outside.

Go bother someone else.

Very funny. I'm not helping you with your slave problem, outlander.

I don't know anything about that. We're far from Othmura here. You should ask further north.

Ask Dandera. She's outside.

I'm afraid I can't help you. Have you asked at Sarys Plantation yet? It's the biggest farm around here. You can find it just north of my ranch, but make sure to give Bessarnamidan a wide berth when you head there.

I don't think so. But you may ask my wife Ivela about it.

Maybe that's ours. Speak to my husband. He should be around here somewhere.

Yes, there was an escape on the plantation recently. You should speak to the owner, Adas Sarys.

I wouldn't know. Ask Adas Sarys, he owns the plantation.

Ask at the other farms. I want no part in this.

What? No! I don't own any slaves.

You've been expelled from House Hlaalu. You must make amends.

Don't remind me about this.

The slave should be sold soon.

From what I've heard, there's been some back and forth between Savur Theran and that farmer about who will travel to return that slave to the Sarys Plantation.

What? That slave is dead? This is bad for our reputation. I'll make sure that Savur Theran gets reprimanded for this!

What? That slave escaped? This is bad for our reputation. I'll make sure that Savur Theran gets reprimanded for this!

You really think so, %PCName? Maybe it is futile to find the slave's owner. Who knows how far it came before we caught it here. Very well, I'll make sure that the slave is brought forward for auction as soon as possible. It's not the outcome that I had hoped for, but at least we'll have the matter resolved.

No, you should investigate further. We can't just give up our search yet. Ask around town or visit some of the nearby farms.

You should ask around town. Alternatively, you can try some of the farms in the area.

Have you found its owner?

You found the owner? Very good. Please report this to Savur Theran, so he can see to the slave's return. Then come back to me.

I'm happy that the slave got returned to its rightful owner. Here's the reward for your perseverance.

Savur Theran has told me that one of his guards recently captured a slave trying to cross the Thirr River. It's currently being held at the tollhouse at the south gate. I need you to find out who the owner of the slave is so that we can return it. You better go see Savur Theran at the tollhouse for more information.

You've been expelled from House Hlaalu. You must make amends.

Thanks again for your discretion.

Good work, I believe we'll be able to make at least 1000 gold from this cat. Here is your cut.

You found the owner. The slave will be returned.

Alright, I'll make sure that that slave is ready to be returned to Adas Sarys as soon as he comes pick him up. You should report to Idros Rothrano.

Between you and me, we could make some money if we can't find his owner. Standard procedure is that slaves whose owner can't be found are resold into slavery, the proceeds going to the finder. I can offer you part of the profit if you can convince Idros that we weren't able to track down the slave's owner.

One of the guards brought in the slave some days ago after capturing him just north of Othmura. A male Khajiit with a large red mane. He hasn't told us anything regarding his origins, even when applying pressure. Finding his master won't be an easy task, although you could start by asking around in town if there are any missing slaves.

Thank you for coming all the way out here to find me. It's good to see that the governor of Othmura takes her responsibility to us plantation owners seriously.

Huh, that does sound like the slave I lost. I don't know his name, but we used to call him "Lionman", precisely because of that mane of his. Tell your boss that I'll be happy to have that slave delivered back to the plantation as soon as possible.

Then I can't confirm whether the slave you captured is mine.

The slave I'm missing is a Khajiit, yes, but a lot of slaves around here are. Can you describe what it looks like?

Sorry, My missing slave isn't an Argonian.

Who in their right mind would take a Breton as a farm slave? Sorry, that one isn't mine.

A couple of nights ago my slave ran off into the wilderness. It could be that the slave you captured is mine. Can you describe what it looks like?

Ask my husband Hervil about that.

Go away. I'm not helping you.

Very funny, %PCName. Don't think I don't know what you did. No, that slave you have in Othmura isn't mine.

None of my slaves have ran away recently, But I've heard that Adas Sarys, who runs Sarys Plantation just east of here, had an escape some time ago.

I've got nothing more to say on the matter. Leave.

You're the last person I want to talk about escaped slaves with. And no, the one you got in Othmura isn't mine.

I can't help you. That slave you're talking about isn't mine.

Go away. You're no better than a thief.

Don't think I don't know what happened. You came here, chatted to our slave, and the next time I turn around I see a cat running for the hills. So, no, I don't know who this other slave belongs to, and I'm not going to help you find them.

I don't have any missing slaves at the moment.

Argonian runaway slaves swim across the Thirr all the time. Slaves of other races try as well, but none are as good swimmers as us Argonians.

I actually witnessed the moment when that cat got captured. I heard someone screaming just north of town. I alerted a guard and he ran out to take a look. Minutes later he came back carrying a completely soaked Khajiit. My bet is that that slave tried to cross the river and got stuck in a current. The Thirr can be quite treacherous in this area.

Hah! Looks like %name won't be recovered after all!

There's no hope for %name.

I presume you're talking about %name. %name won't say a word.

The slave can be found in the basement. Ask Savur Theran if you want more information.

The captured slave is being held at the tollhouse. You can find the tollhouse right next to the south gate.

I hope he escapes.

I haven't heard about anyone in Othmura losing a slave. It probably came from a local farm.

I don't know anything about that. Sorry.
