A Hostile Situation

Dialogue with Watchman Heldil
'''I have to admit: I'm impressed. Cool like the scales of Auri-El, you are.''' Good luck with the Captain.
 * Do you know where I can find her?
 * She sent word: she's moved to protect the Queen. That'll be at the manor house.
 * Stars guide your steps, now.
 * I'll find her there.
 * Goodbye.
 * Goodbye.

Dialogue with Watch Captain Astanya
'''Ah, my errand-runner. So good to see you again.'''
 * Yes, I want to ask you about -
 * Stop right there. On my authority as Captain you're under arrest, Under suspicion of conspiracy to regicide!
 * What are you talking about?
 * What's that in your pack? Deployment plans for the marines at the temple. And do I smell the taint of poison one the air? These are the tools of an assassin!
 * It's no use arguing, scum. Not another word out of you.
 * Goodbye.
 * Goodbye.
 * Goodbye.


 * Watch Captain Astanya stuns you and you awaken in a cell.

Dialogue with Razum-dar
'''Raz must admit. Even he did not think we'd be seeing each other again so soon. How are you, my friend?'''
 * Terrible. Raz, what are you doing here?
 * He is here to help, as always! You may have noticed your new friend Fasion lies dead on the ground behind you. Raz knew Fasion well. As he thought he did Astanya.
 * What happened to him?
 * The Captain happened. Fasion and Raz worked together, as agents of the Queen. Fasion was not willing to give up secrets. And so Fasion is dead.
 * You going to let me out of here?
 * You will soon be free. But as on the island, Raz must ask your aid. You must warn the Queen, and her Battlereeve. The Captain will attempt to murder the Queen at the temple.
 * Just tell me what to do.
 * You must get past the Captain's men. Seek out another of our lady's agents, Eshaba. She stands watch in the marketplace, peddling her wares.
 * Ask her for a souvenir of the First Marines, and she will set you on your path.
 * Goodbye.
 * Goodbye.
 * Goodbye.
 * Goodbye.
 * Goodbye.

Razum-dar: ''Now, out of here! Save the Queen.'' Razum-dar: ''Wake up, new friend. Wake up!''

Dialogue with Razum-dar
'''This one imagines you may have some questions. What can Raz tell you?'''
 * How did you find me?
 * You have this one's apologies. He was looking for Fasion. It was a happy accident, for us both, that you could be saved.
 * You escape the cell. And Razum-dar's new plan to warn the Queen moves forward.
 * Why can't you warn the Queen?
 * It is somewhat embarrassing, but… this one's face is known to some of the royal court. If Razum-dar were to approach, they would know something is amiss.
 * You, a new face in a Marine's uniform. They would suspect nothing.
 * That makes sense.
 * Is there anything else this one can convey?
 * (A} So you work for the Queen?
 * Yes. As did Fasion: he told you true. We are the Eyes of the Queen. We are few, and we stick in the shadows. But we have the honor of being the Queen's most trusted agents.
 * What about the First Auridon Marines?
 * (B} The Battlereeve is fiercely loyal. He believes his marines are immune to manipulation. Like newly forged steel blades. But Razum-dar knows, better than most, how quickly stains can set in.
 * Can you tell me anything else about the Veiled Inheritance? Go to (D}
 * Why didn't you tell me this before? Go to (C}
 * Goodbye.
 * Why didn't you tell me this before?
 * (C} Do you go around admitting your dark secrets to strangers? Raz knows you know how to keep a secret. This one's service to the Queen is an honor and a privilege. But not something he brags about in island bars.
 * If the Eyes are the most trusted agents of the Queen, what about the Marines? Go to (B}
 * Can you tell me anything else about the Veiled Inheritance? Go to (D}
 * Goodbye.
 * Goodbye.
 * Can you tell me anything else about the Veiled Inheritance?
 * (D} They don't think we need the Dominion to survive. They think the Queen is making a mistake, "elevating" the Bosmer and Khajiit to be equals with the High Elves. Racists. Isolationists. And general idiots.
 * So you work for the Queen? Go to (A}
 * Goodbye.
 * Goodbye.
 * Goodbye.
 * Goodbye.
 * Goodbye.


 * You need to talk to Eshaba in the market place. Your Journal does not specifically say that as a task.

Dialogue with Eshaba
'''Eshaba has about anything you could want. So. What can she get you?'''
 * I'm looking or something very specific.
 * Is that so? Don't be shy. What do you need?
 * What I need is a souvenir of the First Auridon Marines.
 * Ahh. Yes. Eshaba has that. The perfect thing to suit your needs!
 * But re you certain? This souvenir comes with certain expectations.
 * Yes, I know what it entails.
 * A wise purchase, then. Very beneficial.
 * Please take it from the chest, here. Just behind me. If you see our mutual friend again, be sure to give him this one's best.
 * Store (Merchant) See NPC's page
 * Goodbye.
 * Store (Merchant) See NPC's page
 * Goodbye.
 * Store (Merchant) See NPC's page
 * Goodbye.
 * Store (Merchant) See NPC's page
 * Goodbye.


 * "Task Completed: Talk to Eshaba in the Marketplace"
 * Interact with the Merchant Chest immediately behind Eshaba - you get a Vulkhel Guard Marine Disguise in the Armor section of your Inventory.
 * "Task Completed: Get the Disguise from the Merchant's Chest"

Dialogue with Battlereeve Urcelmo
'''Explain yourself. What are you doing here?'''
 * Keep your voice down, Battlereeve. Razum-dar sent me.
 * Razum-dar. Yes, I know the name. You haven't answered my question, though.
 * There's a plot brewing to kill the Queen, Battlereeve.
 * Hmph. We've taken every precaution; the whole area is locked down. Watch Captain Astanya assured me.
 * The Captain is the one behind this. She's planning an ambush in the Temple.
 * The Guard Captain? Absurd.
 * Goodbye.
 * Goodbye.
 * Goodbye.
 * Goodbye.

Queen Ayrenn: ''A moment, Urcelmo. I would hear what this one has to say.'' Battlereeve Urcelmo: ''Queen Ayrenn, I fear for your safety. Please disregard what was said just -'' Queen Ayrenn: ''Razum-dar was mentioned. He acts on my behalf. If you won't investigate, I will.'' Battlereeve Urcelmo: ''Apologies, my queen. As you will.'' Battlereeve Urcelmo: You are a capable woman but you must be wary. Battlereeve Urcelmo: ''You, come with me. We'll investigate the temple together.''


 * Enter the Temple of Auri-El

Battlereeve Urcelmo: ''Mara be merciful. What's happened here?'' Steward Eminwe: ''You. I'm sorry.... I was wrong. I tried to stop them.'' Steward Eminwe: ''Watch out. On the balcony. It's Astanya!'' Steward Eminwe: It's a trap! Watch Captain Astanya: ''Urcelmo! I see you've met my latest toy.'' Battlereeve Urcelmo: ''Astanya. Traitor! Come own here and face me!'' Watch Captain Astanya: ''Our "Queen" has betrayed us. I wanted her head. I'll settle for yours!'' Watch Captain Astanya: Kill them!
 * You are attacked by several waves of Heritance Cutthroats.

Battlereeve Urcelmo: So be it, Astanya. Watch Captain Astanya: It's not over yet, Battlereeve! Watch Captain Astanya: ''The Dominion won't last. The Veiled Inheritance will see to that!'' Battlereeve Urcelmo: ''The Dominion will last long after your corpse cools! Now come down here and face your death!'' Watch Captain Astanya: ''Incompetents! I'll have to take care of you myself.'' Battlereeve Urcelmo: ''We need to report back to the Queen. Let's get out of here.''
 * Kill several Heritance Cutthroats.
 * Kill the last Heritance Cutthroats.
 * Kill Watch Captain Astanya

Dialogue with Queen Ayrenn
'''Well? What did my protectors find?'''
 * The plot was real. We fought Astanya and her assassins, and won.
 * Astanya. I can't believe it. No doubt Urcelmo will triple his watch.
 * She was truly an agent of the Veiled Inheritance?
 * Yes, my Queen. She said you had betrayed us.
 * Betrayal? She turns against her people, after years of service? And she spoke of my betrayal?
 * She, obviously, could not be trusted. But you have proven your worth.
 * What do you mean?
 * The marines are blunt instruments. A queen must have a lighter touch. You've met razum-dar, first in the Eyes of the Queen.
 * Would you join him? Become an elite agent, for the good of the Dominion?
 * I will. I accept your offer, my Queen.
 * (A} Excellent! By what power I hold, I name you an agent in my employ. You are now an Eye of the Queen, bonded to my service.
 * Auri-El keep you safe. And Xarxes guard your words.
 * Complete Quest.
 * &mdash;&mdash; Starts To Tanzelwil dialogue here.
 * Never mind.'
 * Goodbye.
 * Goodbye.
 * Goodbye.
 * Goodbye.
 * Goodbye.


 * If take the choice "Never mind."

'''Well? What's your answer? I hope the bodyguards aren't throwing you off. I know they're a little much.'''
 * I accept. Go to (A} above
 * Goodbye.
