Quest Related EventsEdit

After speaking to Sar-Keer, you'll find Betina at the bar in the inn:

"Greetings! Have you heard of the once-great Volek family? I'm the last of my line."

Should I have?

"No, I suppose not. My family's been involved in things I'm not proud of.
That's part of the reason I returned to Mournhold."

Why have you returned to Mournhold?

"I'm here to reclaim my family home. It's been sealed since my father died, when we fled the city for Vvardenfell.
I was so little then, but I promised I would return."

How did you come to be the last of the Voleks?

"My family kept Argonian slaves. They worked our saltrice plantation and were the source of our wealth. And the cause of our doom.
When the Pact freed our slaves, they rose up and murdered my father. My mother and I fled."

What can I do?

"A shadow hangs over my family. My mother returned last year to claim our property. I never saw her again. She was murdered, I'm sure of it.
Now I think someone is following me. I can handle myself, but I'm still worried."

Let me accompany you to your family home. <Don't tell Betina about the ambush.>

"Frankly, I'd welcome your company.
The family townhouse is nearby. I'll meet you there."

I met a pair of Argonians. <Tell Betina about the ambush.>

"Ah, Sar-Keer and Tastes-the-Breeze. They want to kill me, as they killed my mother and father.
The house is nearby—meet me there. It's time for me to face my past."

Go to her house and she'll be waiting outside with her bodyguard, Thonja the Quiet.

Not Telling Betina About the PlanEdit

You'll need to speak with her before proceeding. You can

"Thanks for meeting me here. I'm glad I don't have to face this alone."

Of course.

"Well, let's see what's left of the old place."

Going along with the ambush:

Warning Betina about the ambush last-minute:

After you, Lady Volek.

"I see. You're in on it. I suppose there's no way around it, then."

Wait, the Argonians plan to ambush you.

"Ambush me?"

A pair of Argonians. They'll strike as soon as you step inside.

"Ah, Sar-Keer and Tastes-the-Breeze.
They want to kill me, as they killed my mother and father."

You won't face them alone.

"I appreciate the offer.
It's time to deal with the past. It's a shame the lizards suffered under my parents, but they've no right to take my life."

You should get out of here.

"Thanks for the warning, but I'm sick of running. It's time to face the past.
It's a shame the lizards suffered under my parents, but they've had their revenge. They've no right to take my life."

If you choose to allow the ambush, she'll enter the house and become hostile. You'll have no option but to defeat her and her bodyguard. If you choose to warn her at the last minute, the rest of the quest plays out as below.

Telling Betina About the PlanEdit

You'll need to speak with her before proceeding.

"Thanks for meeting me here. I'm glad I don't have to face this alone."

No problem.

"It's time to face the past.
It's a shame the lizards suffered under my parents, but they've had their revenge. They've no right to take my life."

As long as you tell her about the scheme at some point, you'll enter the house and Sar-Keer and Tastes-the-Breeze will attack. After killing them, Betina will say:

Betina Volek: "Now that that's done, I'll clean up in here and then meet you outside."

Speak to her to end the quest.

"I suppose I must now see to the farm.
It won't ever be the same, you know."

What are your plans?

"Now I guess I'll see about restoring my family's fortune. Eventually this unnatural Pact will fall apart and we can return to farming the old-fashioned way. Please, take this in gratitude for your help."

After the quest if you chose to help her:

"I'll straighten out the family's affairs here in town, and then we'll see what can be done about the farm."

Skills and AbilitiesEdit

Flare: A basic ranged attack that does minor flame damage.
Heat Wave: The enemy releases fire along the ground in the direction it is facing. This attack does moderate flame damage to all players hit by it. This spell can be interrupted to set the enemy off balance or simply avoided.
Fire Runes: The enemy shoots two fireballs in the air which form two fire runes when they land. The runes do moderate flame damage over time to all enemies within the red circles and should be avoided. Players should be prepared to move as soon as the attack casts as one rune will always be cast on top of you.

NotesEdit

If you were to drop the quest during the battle between the Argonian couple and Betina and her bodyguard, Betina will turn into an Argonian named Alchemist.
