Prior to starting the quest, he'll tell you:
- "What do you want? Do you have an invitation?
No invitation, no passage."
He will emphasize that to get passage to Shad Astula, you need to have an invitation:
- "Must I repeat myself? This vessel is only for those who have been invited to attend the Shad Astula Academy of Magic.
- I'll bet you have a spare invitation to the school.
- "Where do you suppose I'd keep it? I'm a ghost—we don't have pockets.
I'd insist you pay up on that wager, but I've got no use for your coins neither." - I just want to visit the school.
- "No invitation, no boat ride. Those're the rules.
Go talk to the new students. Maybe they can explain things so that even you can understand"
- "Where do you suppose I'd keep it? I'm a ghost—we don't have pockets.
- You're a ghost. How can you be a boatmaster?
- "Because the Academy couldn't find a living person who could tolerate rowing spoiled mages-in-training back and forth all day long.
Plus, I owe the Academy a debt I won't be able to repay in a hundred lifetimes. So here I am."
- "Because the Academy couldn't find a living person who could tolerate rowing spoiled mages-in-training back and forth all day long.
Returning to him with an invitation:
- I have an invitation.
- Or you can also respond to his answer of being a ghost with:
- Ah. I see. Can we go to the school now?
Either way, he'll respond with:
-
- "Yes, yes, you're something special. Come aboard and prepare yourself to enter a realm of wondrous magic and magical wonders.
Now sit down and hold on, Your Majesty."
- "Yes, yes, you're something special. Come aboard and prepare yourself to enter a realm of wondrous magic and magical wonders.
If you want to return to Mournhold when you're at Shad Astula:
- "If you want to return to Mournhold, just let me know. I exist on this plane to serve."
- I'd like to sail to Mournhold.
- "You got it, Your Majesty."
Asking to be ferried to Shad Astula after gaining access to the school:
- "I exist to serve. I can ferry you to Shad Astula whenever you are ready."
