Quest-Related Events

While chasing after Faidur, you'll come across the imprisoned Nord:

Henrigg: "Save us from these monsters! Please!"

Speaking to him:

"Get us out of here! They're killing us!"

What happened to you?

"Bloodletting, I think. These cave vermin poke and prod us whenever Arillas needs something to offer his Saviors. To what end, I don't know. Maybe they're vampires … or Wood Elves."

Did you see them take a High Elf through here recently?

"Poor bastard. Never seen these vermin in such a frenzy. They dragged him screaming through those doors there and sealed them shut right after.
Small mercy that we can't hear what they are doing to him."

Do you know how I can open them?

"When Arillas isn't bleeding us and tending to his Saviors beyond those doors, he spends most of his time with whatever unholiness goes on in the tombs below. His keys may be there.
Hurry and set us free before we wind up like your friend."

If you speak to him before finding the keys:

"Even if it's too late for him, don't leave us to the same fate. Please, find Arillas's keys and free us."

Don't worry. Ruliel sent me to look for you.

"Bless him for that, and you. Nobody else on this fool's gold island would have even noticed our absence."

Fool's gold island?

"Shiny, fake, and worthless. The Elves talk about this place like it's perfect, but they lie to themselves, and especially to Men.
Even our paradise above was a thin veneer over this ugliness. If I live, I'll be glad to be gone."

How'd you end up here?

"Found the town beneath the wastes through a sinkhole. Opened right under my feet. Cave vermin scuttled out of every crevice and swarmed me.
Woke up here, alone, with that lunatic Arillas poking me and muttering about a sickness. The rest you know."

Upon release him:

Henrigg: "Bless you. I can walk, but you lead the way."

Speaking with him after freeing him:

"We aren't free yet. We have to get out of here before those cave vermin come scurrying after us."

I'm not leaving anyone behind.

"Your friend's dead. If these Saviors really are vampires what chance do we have against them?"

I can handle Arillas, the Saviors, and whoever else comes to stop us. Just keep your head down.

"I suppose if there's any chance, we have to try. Nobody deserves a death like this.
I just hope you're right or we'll all find out."

Speaking to him in the Savior's Crypt:

"Shor's bones, this is the foulest of Elf magics!"

Defeat Arillas and he will run out of the ruins with the rest of your group. Meet up with them back at the original camp and he'll say:

"What I wouldn't give for some mead right now. Once we have our strength we'll be leaving this damned place behind us, promise you that."
