I swore that I wouldn't use the Guild's expedition as a cover for Hlaalu settlement. Was that not enough?

I must say, I'm somewhat hurt that governor Llendu would believe we would ever use a research expedition for nefarious purposes. And I'm surprised to see you associating with someone like her, %PCRank. But I can certainly guarantee that your investigation will not be used to cover up Hlaalu settlement of Redoran territory. Hopefully she will find that satisfactory.

I must say, I'm somewhat hurt that governor Llendu would believe my House would ever use a research expedition for nefarious purposes. But I can certainly guarantee that your investigation will not be used to cover up Hlaalu settlement of Redoran territory. Is that satisfactory?

I'll be providing no guarantees to someone like you, %PCRace.

I agreed to let them live in Ald Iuval. What else do you want from me?

So Artisa Rethan guaranteed that the expedition would be solely research-focused? Good. In that case, I will let these squatters of yours live in Ald Iuval. A guard will be sent shortly to notify them that they are allowed in town now.

Go to Artisa Rethan in Othmura, and get her to swear not to use this expedition to grab more land.

This is not a good situation, %PCRank. We cannot stand by while the people of the Waters March suffer, but Ald Iuval's resources are already strained by the encampment outside its walls. I suppose I must take these squatters in, but I will need you to do something beforehand. Go to Othmura, and get an assurance from its governor, Artisa Rethan, that this expedition will not be used as a cover for further Hlaalu land grabs. We have already lost too much, and I do not intend to lose more.

Fine. I swore a vow to protect the people of the Waters March, and I will not stand by while they are forsaken by its so-called new rulers. I will take your squatters in, on one condition. You must receive an assurance from Artisa Rethan, the governor of Othmura, that this expedition will not be used to aid further Hlaalu land grabs. We have already lost too much to your House, and I do not intend to lose more.

Why would I want to take more people into this town? The problem with these squatters is one that you created, Hlaalu, and I don't intend to stretch ourselves even further by solving it for you.

To be blunt, Ald Iuval does not have enough resources to take these people in. But. I swore a vow to protect the people of the Waters March, and I will not forget it. So yes, I will allow them to live here, on one condition. You must receive an assurance from Artisa Rethan, the governor of Othmura, that this expedition of yours will not be used as a cover for further Hlaalu land grabs. We have already lost too much, and I do not intend to lose more.

Why would I want to take more people into this town? I wish them well in finding a place to live, but House Redoran is already struggling to support the encampment outside Ald Iuval's walls, and our situation will not change any time soon.

No. Whatever it is, I don't want to hear it from you.

More people looking to come here? I'm not so sure that's a good idea, %PCRank. We're barely able to support those living here already. If you're really so set on it, then talk to Felmaru Llendu about it.

More people looking to come here? Can't you see we're barely able to support those living here already? If you're so set on it, then just take it up with Felmaru Llendu.

Thank you again for finding us somewhere else to stay. I don't really have any sort of reward for you, but I hope I can repay the favor sometime.

We heard the news from that Redoran guard that came over. Thank you for finding us somewhere else to stay, %PCName, although I fear that Ald Iuval's conditions won't be much better than here. We'll move out as soon as possible, and your Guild can start its investigation.

I'm sorry, but the simple fact is that we don't have anywhere else to go. If you really want us to leave, then try finding a place where we can stay. I don't think the Hlaalu would be too willing to take us into any of their towns, but maybe you could try asking whoever runs Ald Iuval -- that Redoran town built around the tower on the lake's west bank -- if they would allow us to live there.

You want us to move out of here? Look, %PCRace, we're not causing any trouble, and there isn't anywhere else for us to go. They even kicked us out of Ald Iuval. Said there were already too many paupers hanging on there, and not enough resources for all of them. This little place is what we have, and we're not going to give it up.

Go away, %PCRace. We aren't leaving this place, and we're certainly not leaving it for someone like you.

Thank you for finding us somewhere else to stay. We'll see how long it lasts.

Thank you for finding us somewhere else to stay. I can't say I'm sorry to see the last of this place.

Llandora was the person you would've spoken to about that, but you killed her!

If you have something to say to us, then say it to Llandora. She's right over there.

If you have something to say to us, then say it to Llandora. She's in the dome.

We got them out of here. They'll settle somewhere else, I'm sure.

Yes, I sent out a patrol to Vandirelyon. They'll take care of those squatters in no time.

Then it will be done. I'll send out a patrol to Vandirelyon shortly, and I wish the Guild luck with this expedition.

That's fine, then. If you ever decide otherwise, you know my terms.

Thank you very much. I'll have the squatters dealt with immediately, and I wish the Guild luck with this expedition.

It looks like you don't have that much money right now. Come back when you do.

Of course, %PCRank. I can have my guards deal with these squatters immediately if that's what you want.

After your help with those bandits in Kuriki, I think it's only fair to return the favor. Just say the word, and I can have those squatters cleared out.

Have you changed your mind about the payment? 500 gold and my guards clear out the squatters.

I sympathize with the Guild's predicament here, %PCClass, but I'm just not sure that dealing with something like this would be worth our time. Of course, if you could reimburse my guards for it, I think it'd be fair for them to act on your request. Perhaps 500 gold would suffice?

Ha! Forget it, %PCClass. I'm not helping you with these squatters unless you can show me that you're a lot more trustworthy than you seem to be.

You'll want to talk to Vibius Verturius about this, %PCRank. He can help clear these squatters out if that's what you want.

Do you want us to kick those squatters out, then? Talk to Vibius Verturius if that's the case. He can decide if this sort of thing is worth our time to deal with.

Isn't there already a squatters' encampment of sorts in the ruined buildings outside Ald Iuval? Maybe they could try going there instead.

If they're not willing to leave on their own, I wonder if you could convince the town guard here in Othmura to make them. After all, they are illegally occupying an official investigation site of the Guild.

You've been expelled from the Guild, %PCName. I can't discuss any of your duties with you right now.

Their deaths were unfortunate. You should've found another way to get them to leave.

You handled the situation with them well, %PCRank.

You killed the squatters? That was unnecessary, immoral, and contradictory to what I asked of you, %PCRank. But I suppose you do deserve something for your efforts, since we can at least start the expedition now. Speak with me again if you're ready for simpler duties.

The squatters are gone? Good. Here are your rewards; hopefully you'll find them useful. Speak to me again for further duties.

The squatters are gone? Good. Here are your rewards; hopefully you'll find them useful. Speak to me again for further duties.

If you really can't figure out a way to get them to leave, try asking your fellow Guild members here for advice. They might have some ideas.

They are camped out in Vandirelyon, a nearby stronghold of the ancient Chimer. If I am to start an investigation there, they need to be gone. So find a way to make them leave. See if there's anywhere else they could go, anywhere but Vandirelyon.
