Tasks

Dialogues:

Gerent Nuleem-Malem: How can I assist the hero of Ten-Maur-Wolk?
Hero: I know what the Dominion plans with the Mnemic Egg.
Gerent Nuleem-Malem: Then you must inform Vicecanon Heita-Meen immediately. She left for the ruins above, to scout the aftermath of a battle between Dominion and lamias. Go quickly and quietly.
Hero: I'll find Vicecanon Heita-Meen.
Vicecanon Heita-Meen: The Dominion stirred up the lamias nesting within Loriasel. Keep your voice low, I understand they're quite sensitive to sound. You were the one ray of sunlight to shine upon Ten-Maur-Wolk. Come, brighten my day.
Hero: I know Ruuvitar's plans for the Mnemic Egg.
Vicecanon Heita-Meen: I'd smile wider than a slaughterfish at your success, but I suspect Ruuvitar's plans involve using the Mnemic Egg for an unspeakable horror. Go on, then. Speak it.
Hero: He wants to sever the link between Hist and Argonians.
Vicecanon Heita-Meen: That's all? Then we must stop him, and quickly. Search the remains of this camp for any indication of Ruuvitar's whereabouts. I'll rally the soldiers and prepare to assault the ruins.
Hero: I'll see what I can find.
Vicecanon Heita-Meen: Ве swift. More lamias could boil from the ruins at any moment.
Hero: Goodbye.

Gerent Kepanuu: Have you seen Vicecanon Heita-Meen? Our scouts spotted the Dominion's main force!
Hero: Where are the Dominion?
Gerent Kepanuu: The Dominion retreated into the ruins after the lamias tore them apart. If we strike while they're bloody, we can pay them back for Ten-Maur-Wolk!
Hero: Vicecanon Heita-Meen is rallying soldiers to assault the ruins.
Gerent Kepanuu: Then we must learn where the crocodile rests its head so we can crush it in one blow. I shouldn't ask, but after Ten-Maur-Wolk I must. If we knew Ruuvitar's movements, we could end this abruptly. Would you do us the honor of finding the crocodile's lair?
Hero: I'll enter the ruins and search for Ruuvitar.
Kazdi: Brute-vitar sealed us out. Kazdi's fellows all dead, killed by dirty snake-ladies. No doubt this Pact-soldier kills poor Kazdi now. The swamp, I hate it. Endless woe! Poor Kazdi!
Hero: Where is Ruuvitar?
Kazdi: Questions, not blades? Yes! Merciful Pact-soldier takes pity on Kazdi! Ruuvitartook his big glowing egg behind that door and sealed it up. He's like a spider wearing a sash:'Treat with respect, salute often!" But Kazdi knows ... still a spider.
Hero: Ruuvitar is a spider?
Kazdi: No, a High Elf. But he does awful things to swamp-lizards through their special trees. Poisons them like a spider's bite, see? Ruuvitar uses his big glowing egg to destroy swamp-lizards. Behind a door, like a clawless coward. That is all Kazdi knows!
Hero: How do I stop Ruuvitar?
Kazdi: Open sealed door, squash Ruuvitar flat, wash foot. Kazdi can help open the seal! Ruuvitar bragged of defenses so often, Kazdi knows them like her own whiskers.
Hero: How can you help me?
Kazdi: Kazdi can show you how Ruuvitar sealed the door. He blamed Dominion-soldiers for not finding keystones to seal the ruin, but refused to let us search. Too much time poking swamp-lizards in the chest with his knives. Coward.
Hero: I have one of the keystones.
Kazdi: Ah, Pact-soldier is clever indeed! Then this will be so very simple, yes? Come, we must activate a crystal. After, Kazdi will show merciful kind friend where the keystone fits!
Hero: Why should I trust you?
Kazdi: Simple. Kazdi wishes to stop the clawless High Elf who kills swamp-lizard babies and leaves Dominion-soldiers to die. And see Elsweyr again, maybe? If Kazdi shows you how to remove seal on door, you splatter Ruuvitar. Deal?
Hero: You can help, but I'm tying your hands.
Kazdi: Lead on, friend of Kazdi.
Hero: What do we do first?
Kazdi: Ruuvitar drew power from three Ayleid crystals to seal the door. If you activate the crystals, they take back their power from the door. Then, you open the door and wallop Ruuvitar. Simple, yes?
Hero: Where are these crystals?
Kazdi: The first one is near the sealed door. The others are in the same room, but held up high in claws. Fear not, merciful friend! Passages lead to the claws, through hordes of angry-dead and countless snake-ladies. But Kazdi keeps light on her feet!
Hero: Goodbye.

Vicecanon Heita-Meen: I knew to expect you, but not one of Ruuvitar's soldiers. I take it she's your prisoner? You've interrogated her, yes?
Hero: Kazdi helped me unseal Ruuvitar's defenses.
Vicecanon Heita-Meen: You'll forgive me for not thanking one of Vicecanon Hrondar's murderers for turning her coat. But the Khajiit is your prisoner. What would you do with her?
Hero: I'm considering leniency.
Vicecanon Heita-Meen: You can't be serious. The Dominion stole our soldiers' skins, murdered a vicecanon, and destroyed Argonian eggs at the hour of their birth. Beheading would be leniency.
Hero: She's earned time in a cell until the conflict ends.
Vicecanon Heita-Meen: This Khajiit came with the Dominion soldiers who committed terrible crimes on Ruuvitar's behalf. If not responsible, she is complicit. Is this truly your decision?
Hero: Kazdi deserves imprisonment as an honorable enemy.
Vicecanon Heita-Meen: Guard, take charge of the Khajiit. Prepare her for interrogation. If she gives you any trouble, shave off her whiskers. Once our soldiers push back the lamias. I'll join you in the hunt for Ruuvitar. The Hist guide you, friend.
Hero: I'll go immediately.

Vicecanon Heita-Meen: Wait. Should only one of us walk from these ruins, you must allow me to thank you on behalf of Shadowfen's citizens. Sithis guide your steps in the darkness, and refrain his embrace until you will it.
Hero: Complete Quest.
