DialogueEdit

Before you start the quest:

"Please, just leave me be."

You find him lying sick in bed on the second floor of the Aegis of Auri-El.

"What? What is it? My guts, still roiling. Damn the sea, and that Captain!"
Captain Erronfaire sent me to find you. She wants you back on the Wave Cutter.
"Ah, yes. Yes. No. No, I don't think so. Once was enough for me.
These legs were made for the land, and that's where they'll stay."
Why? What happened?

If he is not the last crew member to be found:

"Sea sickness. My guts are over there in the corner, if you want to examine the aftermath.
Me, I'll be huddled here on this bed for a good long time."
Fine, fine. I'll tell the Captain.

If you talk to him afterwards, he will tell you:

"I never should have left. Nothing like good solid ground."

If he is the last one to be found:

"Sea sickness. My guts are over there in the corner, if you want to examine the aftermath.
Oh, I wish I'd listened to Degail. Such a smart girl."
Do you know where I can find Degail?
"Last I heard, she went down the shore. I didn't want to get involved, but she and Anala got into it over some rumors.
Anala claimed that Maormer scouts were spotted nearby. And Degail didn't believe her at all."
Thanks.

If you talk to him afterwards, he will tell you:

"I warned her. I told her I'd never been on a ship before. I think she was fine with my work.
Until I threw up on her boots."

After finishing the quest, he'll say:

"I heard you found Degail! Lucky girl to have survived. Maormer aren't usually the type to take captives."

NotesEdit

  • Next to his bedside is a "food" item called Balithil's "Potato Porridge". If you take and eat it, you will gain a three-minute status effect called "Full of Regret", with the description "Your stomach is thankfully empty". This has no apparent effect on your character.
