Show: A Brush With Death |
---|
In Rythe Lythandas's House:
"Where did you come from? You look real enough. You must be from the outside! Oh, thank goodness someone finally came! While I'm overjoyed to see a friendly face, I'm afraid I have some bad news for you. You're stuck here like I am. Sorry to break it to you like that, but if it wasn't for that annoying thief, we wouldn't be in this predicament."
"Be cautious, friend." If approached again: "Any luck yet?" If spoken to after the trolls are slain: "I must have that Brush." After retrieving the brush: "Let me go paint us a way out of here." After returning to Tamriel: "I don't know how to thank you. You have a good heart to help get me back home. I'll never forget what you've done for me. Here, please take this apron as a token of your friendship. It's not much, but perhaps it will help you in the future. All I ask in return is to keep the Brush's existence secret. If word gets around that I have it, I'm afraid more than a lone cutpurse will visit me." "Safe journey, serjo." |
