Quest-Related EventsEdit
If you have not completed Unearthed yet, he will be the quest-giver at Boulderfall Pass. When you approach him, he will shout out orders at the Pact soldiers:
- "Watch your flank. Watch your flank!"
He will mistaken you as a scout sent by Gjakil but will quickly accept your aid to defend the position from the Reachmen:
- "You're a scout, yeah? Sent by Gjakil? Quick, you've got to get word back…."
- Sorry, I'm not a scout.
- "To Oblivion with military messengers. You wouldn't happen to be a volunteer? Have some experience with these Reachmen, yeah?"
- I think I can figure it out. What needs doing?
- "Captain Jardirr led the charge after the Reachmen attacked. I lost track of her in the battle and we got overrun. Get out there, ease the pressure on our troops, and look for Jardirr."
- As you say.
You can ask further questions about the pass or convince him to provide assistance in dealing with the lurchers:
- "Good, good. Need to hold the line here. Can't let the Captain down, yeah?"
- What is this place?
- "A pass cuts through the hills here, yeah? Straight into the Smokefrost Peaks. Normally comes out just north of Riften. But not after that damned giant Sinmur collapsed the hillside."
- Sinmur did that?
- "Aye. No easy way to get through here, send word to Riften. With what's happened over at Fort Greenwall, we're almost cut off here. Hmm. We'll have to get the fires lit.
- What happened at Fort Greenwall?
- "Bandits, sounds like. I'm not sure. Only a few of our runners are getting through, yeah? I don't know if they're caught up in combat or what."
- Fires? / You mentioned fires?
- "Aye. There's a tower on the hill near here. Great big horker of a bonfire set up, with wood treated all special. Light that fire and the whole Rift will see the smoke. Put everyone on alert."
- What happened at Fort Greenwall?
- [Persuade]Lots of Lurchers out there.
- "Well, Murmurs-to-Trees has been working on a ward to use against them. He's just down the stairs, go ask him about it."
- Thanks. I'll do that.
After speaking with Captain Jardirr:
- "Found the captain, yeah? Ysgramor's strength stands before me."
If you started the quest through Centurion Gjakili or Scout Claurth, he will say instead:
- "Good to meet you! You fought beside the Centurion at Shor's, yeah? Amazing!"
Speaking with him after addressing the Centurion for the quest:
- "Good, good. Need to hold the line here. Can't let the Captain down, yeah?"
After lighting the signal fires during Smoke on the Horizon and before turning in the quest:
- "I can see the smoke! Now everybody knows the danger they face. Blood for the Pact!"
Speaking with him after the quest:
- "I only received a promotion a few weeks ago. First time commanding in the field, yeah? Can't believe it kicked off with … this."
