Interactions

The Dagger's Edge

Lord Diel of Daggerfall and his sons are investigating the recent harpy attacks all along the coast. They hired a group of mercenaries called the Daggers to help them with their research, but the Daggers never returned from the Shrieking Scar.

Rusty Daggers

Balin Remly and his associates have another contract to get rid of troublesome harpies, this time in the Silverhoof Vale.

Dialogue

Show: The Dagger's Edge

"Did Lord Diel send you? Well, there's nothing new to report, except that my brother is an idiot. Armel placed dozens of traps and he just realized something. Harpies don't walk! Now we're trying to figure out how to salvage the situation." What are you trying to do? "We're trying to capture a few of these creatures. Lord Diel wants to observe the harpies and see if they demonstrate any odd behavior that might explain the recent acts of aggression. But we're still working on our traps, as you can see." Are all your traps set on the ground? "We've got some throwing snares. The only problem is the damn harpies are too strong. They need to be weakened before you hit them with the throwing snares. I may have a sword, but I'm not a fighter. That's too dangerous an approach for me." Give me the throwing snares. How many harpies do you need? "Lord Diel said a few. So four, I'd say. Yes, four harpies should do. If this works, please tell his lordship that we gave you the traps, all right?" After meeting Balin in the Lord Diel's Camp: "Something's not right. Gelvin hasn't returned yet and Lord Diel's getting more and more impatient. By Azura, he doesn't look like he intends to do much research, either. I think he likes to watch those creatures suffer." After meeting Balin at the beach: "When Gelvin gets like this, it makes the rest of us extremely nervous."

While caught in the trap: "Come on, help me out of this mess. I've been stuck for hours." How'd you get caught by one of your own traps? "By accident, of course! These things are delicate. Tricky. One false move and—snap! I'm caught. Now my arm's asleep and my back is killing me. Can we get on with the rescue?" Try to hold still. "Does it look like I have a choice? Make it quick already! Those harpies are looking at me like I'm a three-course meal." After rescuing him: "Thanks, I guess." How did you end up in that trap? "Armel and I were trapping the whole gully. These things are designed to go with our scent lures. But as I said, they're very finicky to set up. Bah! Armel's a moron. His design's clearly faulty. If you hadn't shown up …." Scent lures? "Right! We put down these scent barrels. They draw the harpies in and they get caught in the traps. Simple! Or so he said. I've already wasted too much time out here. I need to report in to Bumnog. Hey, would you be willing to help me out?" What do you want me to do? "Place the rest of my traps. You'll know where to put them. Armel went ahead of me to place the scent barrels—just like the one here. Put the traps with the barrels, and keep watch for my brother. And be careful. Don't want you ending up like me." Don't you recognize me? I helped you with Lord Diel. "Oh! Yes, yes, of course. How have you been? We're fine. Mostly. We're doing the best we can, anyway. Still in the harpy business, just like the old days." These circumstances seem rather familiar. "Do they? They're not, you know. We deserved better than what Lord Diel was going to do by us, didn't we? I didn't recognize you until you mentioned it. Good to see you again. Imagine, meeting up after all this time." Is everything going all right? "Can't you tell? Listen, I've got to get back to Bumnog. While you're out here, see if you can find that brother of mine."

Conversations

The Dagger's Edge

Balin Remly: "How in the Eight do you expect to trap a flying harpy with a trap set on the ground? You're an idiot, you know that, right?" Armel Remly: "You know I hate it when you yell at me, brother. Now calm down and help me figure out how to get a harpy to trip a wire on the … ground. Hmm, I see the problem now." Bumnog: "Looks like we found the Remly brothers."

Rusty Daggers

When arriving at the village:

Makar the Elder: "Are you telling me you've made absolutely no progress on the contract we signed with you?" Balin Remly: "It's Armel's fault. His stupid trap malfunctioned again." Armel Remly: "It's not my fault! Those harpies are crafty! And bloodthirsty!" Makar the Elder: "Is that why you reek? What is that smell?" Bumnog: "The harpies! They're here! The scent lure on these two brought the whole flock down on us!" Armel Remly: "We need to wash this stuff off before the harpies get us! To the pond!" Makar the Elder: "Please, go with them. The villagers and I will hide from the beasts."

If the Vestige tells Makar the Elder the truth:

Makar the Elder: "According to the contract, you were to complete the project without additional help." Bumnog: "What? Maybe we didn't work in a conventional way, but we got rid of the harpies." Makar the Elder: "In accordance with our contract, your pay goes to the one who did the work, not to you." Bumnog: "Gelvin is not going to be happy when he hears this. Get off your arses, boys. Go take down those traps. We don't need them anymore." Armel Remly: "But Bumnog! We just finished setting them up!" Balin Remly: "I get to take down the pots. It's your turn to get caught up in those nets."
