Quest-Related EventsEdit

Oath of ExcisionEdit

Enter her hut and you'll find Glooredel speaking to a seemingly dead fire shalk lying on a nearby table.

Glooredel: "Come on, pretty bug … time to give up your innards."

Glooredel fiddles with the corpse and a line of flames throws the young Bosmer against the opposite wall:

Glooredel: "Hot guts! That's what I'm talking about!"

Speak to her and she'll apologize:

"I'd shake your hand, but it's covered in steaming shalk guts. But by Baan Dar, why not? Put her there!"

No thanks. I think I'm supposed to help you burn down the village?

"Bless his heart. I knew the Captain would send me some help. Never seen you before.
Perfect. You can do the dangerous—I mean, the exciting part of the operation!"

What do you need me to do?

"When we grow the village, it expands out from a common root system. We can use those roots to burn the whole place at once.
I've concocted an alchemical admixture with shalk guts and fire salts. Should do the trick."

What do I do with the admixture?

"Every home in the village has an urn, where sap from the root system comes up into the building. Pour the admixture into the urns and they should light.
Then meet me at my workshop. We'll blast the roots and the whole village will go up!"

I'll see it done.

You can ask further questions about the village:

"You're going to do great! Just, whatever you do, don't … err.
You know what? I forget. Probably wasn't important. Meet me at my workshop, northwest edge of the village, when you're done."

You grow your village?

"Right as rain! A few of our mages are accomplished Greenspeakers. When we move to a new area, they plant the seeds and perform the rituals. Within a few days … new village!"

And the roots are all entwined below ground?

"You are paying attention. Nice! Most don't.
Yes, the trees all grow together. They take waste and such into the roots, to keep the village healthy. And they deliver the hot sap into every hut to keep them warm."

Why are you so ready to burn the village?

"It's a Vinedusk thing. We risk our lives every day. We do the things others can't—or won't—do.
Compared to some missions I've run, burning a few huts doesn't seem like much."

Odreth made it seem like it was about pride.

"It is about pride, for the Captain. We were attacked in our barracks. That is where we train.
We don't mind moving the village, but we don't like it. I think Odreth is just a little embarrassed. Colovians, taking us by surprise. Pah!"

Isn't this plan punishing to the trees?

"Oh, the Green Pact? Yeah, we don't worry too much about that sort of thing out here—though I know a lot of my relatives down in Valenwood would weep to hear me say it.
I've even had a salad. There, I said it! And I liked it!"

Why isn't it a consideration for you?

"You're asking me why we don't give a spit about plants—in a warzone? If the other alliances knew all they had to do was grow trees to defend their forts ….
We would already have lost Cyrodiil, I'm sure."

Finish your task and you'll find her in her workshop. If you saved the villagers:

"Hey, there you are! I remembered what you weren't supposed to do.
But you still have both your hands, so obviously you didn't do it!"

The houses are lit.

"You took longer than I expected. Everything go all right?"

I rescued some of the villagers from the Colovians as I went.

"Very noble! I'll admit it, we're not good with civilians. They're our blood relatives, our childre. But our real family is the Rangers.
Sometimes we forget that. I'll make sure to tell the Captain about your kindness."

Is everything ready?

"Yup! I'll even let you light it! Just use this torch. We should be safe in here. Mostly, anyway.
Outside? It's going to be a fiery mess. It'll be glorious!"

I'll light the flame, then.

Otherwise, if you only focused on burning the huts:

"Done already?"

The houses are lit.

"Nice work. Fast. Good. We'll catch even more of them unawares."

Is everything ready in here?

"Yup! I'll even let you light it! Just use this torch. We should be safe in here. Mostly, anyway.
Outside? It's going to be a fiery mess. It'll be glorious!"

I'll light the flame, then.

She'll hand you her torch and runs to the opposite side of the workshop:

Glooredel: "I'm just going to stay over here. You know. Don't want to crowd you."

Speaking to her before lighting the place:

"Go on. Light it."

Light the igniter and she'll prematurely exclaim:

Glooredel: "Oh gods!" when suddenly... nothing happens.

Glooredel: "Huh. Maybe it's not work—"

Suddenly a massive fireball erupts, knocking you to the ground.

Glooredel: "Sounds like it worked! I'm going to go bask in the devastation."

Glooredel runs outside.

Return to Captain Odreth's quarters and you'll over hear him discussing the situation with his men:

If you saved the villagers:

Glooredel: "Our recruit saved them, sir. We're lucky they were here."

Captain Odreth: "Let's hope our luck holds. Prepare for the next attack."

Sergeant Herdor: "Yes, sir."

If you didn't save the villagers:

Sergeant Herdor: "We could have saved lives. We knew those people."

Captain Odreth: "That's enough, sergeant. Prepare for the next attack."

Sergeant Herdor: "Yes, sir."

Glooredel: "We did what we had to do, sir."

Captain Odreth: "Let's hope we made the right call. Now, go."

Down the Skeever HoleEdit

Follow Sergeant Herdor into the tunnel and she'll start addressing the troops:

Sergeant Herdor: "How are we looking, Gloo?"

Glooredel: "We have enough admixture to set Arenthia ablaze if we want to. Which would make some nice after-battle entertainment, now that I think about it."

Sergeant Herdor: "Rangers! We face the elite troops of the Colovian army! They've attacked us in our homes. They threaten our lives, and our founder! Are you afraid of them?"

Sergeant Herdor: "No! You're not. These dogs will learn the cost of war! They will learn what it means to face the Vinedusk Rangers!"

Sergeant Herdor: "That's what I want to hear! Recruit, grab some of the admixture Gloo's prepped. We'll scout ahead."

Gather the admixture and follow Sergeant Herdor further in the tunnel. When you catch up with her, she and Glooredel will have come across some of the Colovians. Speak to her and she'll say:

"I think they soiled themselves when they saw me. It's hard to differentiate that smell from their natural musk."

Herdor will tell you to start setting the tunnel on fire in order to get the Colovians to talk. Honorata will overhear this to her dismay:

Scout Honorata: "You … you're bluffing. You'd never do something that stupid."

Glooredel: "Oh, you must have missed my fire in the village. It was glorious."

Set one of the crates on fire and Honorata will start to sing:

Scout Honorata: "Gods, you weren't joking? Festius! That's our commander. He and his aides command the assault from inside the ruins! Just stop, please!"

As soon as the scout gives away her intel, Glooredel dispatches her with her blade.

Glooredel: "Very brave. You've earned this."

Sergeant Herdor: "Right. Gloo, get up there. I need to confer with our friend here."

Some time after completing the objective, she will be found in Captain Odreth's Quarters:

"Do you see that? This scene of destruction? It's so wonderful. Brings a tear to my eye."

The Fires of DuneEdit

If you help Vinedusk prior to arriving at Dune, Glooredel will be there to greet you:

"Fine work, my friend. Vinedusk salutes you."
