Dialogue[]
- Questionable Contract
"Hey there mortal! How you doing?"
- Hello … talking dog? "Hah, you mortals. You always make me laugh. Yup, I'm a talking dog. Name's Barbas. I'm a companion to the Daedric Prince of Wishes. Guy by the name of Clavicus Vile."
- Why are you here? "Hold on, hold on, we'll get to that in a moment. I bet you're here about all those Atronachs, right? That stupid mage let his magic get away from him."
- Yes? What do you know about it? "Well, this altar here next to me is the cause of all his problems. He had this silent plea to have something work well, just once in his life. The altar twisted that up. And … to be honest it keeps me bound here."
- Why are you bound here? "Look, do you want to fix things for that guy or not? His wife will get eaten if you sit around talking to dogs all day. If you want to set things right you'll have to smash the altar."
- Fine, I'll smash the altar. "We'll both be happier with that altar smashed. You'll see!"
- Now will you answer some questions? "Sure, mortal. What can old Barbas tell you?"
- Can you tell me more about Clavicus Vile? "He's a pain in my furry butt, that's what he is. He's the Daedric Prince of deals. Make a wish, seal a pact, and he'll be there to grant you all the power you want. For a price, obviously."
- Why are you down here? "Vile and I have a … complicated relationship. How can I explain it to you? Uh … oh, I'm a dog right? He put me in the dog house. Won't let me home unless somebody else lets me out."
- Why is the altar here? "I don't really know. I guess there was some kind of cult here in the March, a long time ago? Or maybe it represents the site of some kind of important pact. Even Vile's forgotten about this old place, now."
- What are you? "That's kind of a rude question, isn't it? I'm a dog. Look at my snuggly fur and cute wiggling tail! I'm adorable!"
- Now will you answer some questions? "Sure, mortal. What can old Barbas tell you?"
- Fine, I'll smash the altar. "We'll both be happier with that altar smashed. You'll see!"
