Excellent work returning all the artifacts, %PCName.

Very well.

A masterful example of Dwemeri craftsmanship. I will personally take care of interpreting the engraving on this. Did you recover anything else?

A curious piece of workmanship, no? I'm sure that we will be able to use this. Did you recover anything else?

Interesting. I am unsure how much we can make of this, but we shall do our best. I thank you for recovering it. Did you recover anything else?

Excellent work. The designs on here are truly fascinating. I thank the Society for sending these things to us first. It is most gracious of them. Did you recover anything else?

Really? Fascinating. And the caravan was attacked by kagouti you say? Well, at least you were able to bring this to us. Here, take this reward. I don't suppose you found anything else?

Have you found any further Dwemer artifacts from the caravan, %PCName? I believe a few more were mentioned by the Society.

Hmm. I am surprised you know about it, but yes. We are expecting the delivery of a number of Dwemer artifacts from the excavations at Palisnabat. I believe a staff was mentioned. However, we were expecting the things to be here by now. Who knows where the caravan's got to. Do you know something about it?

You'd have to talk to Banvira about that.

How'd you know about that, friend? Yes, we did dig up a rather interesting staff here, and it's been sent off with our caravan to the Firewatch Guild of Mages. [He sighs] It's so hard to choose what to send off and research further first. But there was no question that that one was being sent.

Uhh, what are you talking about?

VANDAL'S DIALOGUE BELOW

I heard what you did. You ruined a good job for me there.

Thanks for your help, %PCName. My client will be pleased with this.

This is the staff my client wanted? Excellent work, %PCName. Here, take some mazte, as well as this gold. I hope that's worth your trouble.

It's expected at the Firewatch Guild of Mages but hasn't reached them yet? Strange... Try searching the road between Palisnabat and Firewatch. See if anything's happened to the caravan.

It's been sent to the Firewatch Mages Guild? Hmm. It's a risk, %PCName, but see if you can find it there.

Any luck finding the staff?

No? A shame. If you're still interested, come back later.

Excellent. Do you need directions to Palisnabat?

The ruin is down some large pit, and I don't have the levitation spells to get there. I can't afford potions, as he rightly guessed. However, he told me how to contact him in case I did manage to get in there. And that's where *you* come in. I want you to get down there and find that staff. Are you up for it?

Well, it turns out that those miners over at Palisnabat struck lucky, and managed to dig up some old Dwemer ruin. Hoping to get a share of the loot, they called in the Society. Of course, they all got chucked out, and the Society got to work. Soon, our man discovers some fancy Dwemer staff, and tries to make off with it. He's caught and expelled, but he wants this thing badly. That's where I come in. After his little tale, I offered to get the thing for him. However, he said I'd never be able to.

Yes. A rather grumpy Imperial barged into Ashamul a few days ago, and being the nice woman I am, I took him into my house for a drink to calm down. Once he was through his mazte, he calmed down a bit, and spun me a tale of how he had just been expelled from the Imperial Archaeological Society for attempting to steal this staff from one of their latest investigations.
