Dialogue
(player): A new passage to what?
An old tomb, I think. It must have been opened by an earthquake that accompanied one of the Red Mountain's eruptions.
I'd love to have a closer look, but those old ruins can be dangerous and I'm no adventurer. I'll pay you to watch my back down there.
I'll be heading back there soon. If you're interested, meet me at the ruins and we'll see what we can find. Now I'm off to pack for the expedition!
(player): He must have been someone important.
Indeed. I knew that the Dragon Priests were thought to have been powerful men of great will, but I had no idea.
Well, I suppose I've seen everything I came for, and you kept up your end of the bargain. I promised payment, and here it is.
Now I think I'll spend some more time studying this word wall. What a book this will make!
(player): How long have you been studying the Skaal?
Well, let me think...
I suppose it's been nearly a year now. My goodness, how the time has flown!
Follow-up choices
(player): And the Skaal don't mind being studied?
Well, not so far. They think I'm a bit strange, but they seem to tolerate me.
In fact, they've been very accommodating. Hospitable, even. They seem happy to talk about their traditions and history.
(player): You're not one of the Skaal?
Oh no, most certainly not. I'm a historian. I'm here to learn about the history of Solstheim.
Solstheim is a fascinating place, but we know so little about its past. There are many mysteries that remain unsolved.
Follow-up choices
(player): What did you make of that stone structure everyone was building?
Yes, that was a most disturbing experience. But to answer your question, the architecture was strange, almost otherworldly.
Given that, and the considerable power it must have taken to affect our minds so completely, it would suggest the work of a powerful mage.
Either that, or perhaps a daedra. If so, then may the nine protect us.
Follow-up choices
(player): A daedra?
Powerful and malevolent entities who make their home on the plane of Oblivion.
Some of the more powerful among them can exert their influence within our world, and when they do, men inevitably suffer.
(player): Do you have any insights to share about this puzzle?
Have you tried to walk on the plates without stepping on the same one twice?
(player): Do you have any insights to share about this puzzle?
Well, there's a warrior, an archer and a mage. Perhaps each statue is meant to represent a different method of combat.
(player): Do you have any insights to share about this puzzle?
Hmm... Perhaps something is meant to go into the fire?
(player): Could you repeat that inscription?
Most certainly. The translation was "Continue along the path, don't tread where you've been."
(player): Could you repeat that inscription?
Certainly. The translation was "All men must die, often by their own means."
(player): Could you repeat that inscription?
Yes, of course. It said "A sacrifice will bring you closer to that which you seek."
