Quest-Related Events

Approaching him, he will be hiding behind crates:

"Quietly, there is danger."

Speak with him to begin the quest.

"Quiet. By seed and spleen, stranger, you must help me.

My people have been taken by a Daedra known as Fatestealer."

Slow down a moment. What went on here?

"Raiders. The dark-skinned ones attack, hoping to take our mine and make us slaves once more.

They even summoned a Daedra. That was a mistake. The Daedra took everyone away, Argonian and raider, and only left their soul crystals behind."

How can I help?

"My people and even some enemies languish in the Daedra's Oblivion realm.

The raiders seized an Argonian gel called firesap. Find some. It should overheat the crystals and cause them to crack. Then you can return my people."

I'll find the gel and free your people.

Speaking to him again:

"The firesap gel used to be Hist-Tender's. Alas, he has rejoined the One.
Find the gel in the camp. Look for a rucksack. That might have it."

If you speak to him after finding the gel, he'll remark:

"You found that as fast as a nix-hound on the hunt.
The gel disrupts Fatestealer's stones. That should free my egg-kin from the Daedra's clutches."

Once you've used the gel and freed the slaves, return to his position and relay the situation:

"It's so good to see everyone free again … I mean almost everyone."

Almost everyone? Who's missing?

"My father, Last-to-Water. The Daedra still has him.
He tried to stop Fatestealer."

How can I free him?

"His stone is in the main campsite.
I'm sure Fatestealer will not give up her prize willingly."

Speaking with him again:

"Last-to-Water's not a kind or loving father, but he's family. Loyalty does not end when the egg cracks.
Please rescue him."

After defeating Fatestealer, Neposh's father will reveal that it was Neposh that summoned the winged Twilight. Speak to Neposh and he'll tell his side:

"I don't know what to say."

You were the one who summoned the Daedra?

"The shame of it makes my scales brittle, but yes, I summoned it. I could not bear to see another victim fall to the raiders.
I couldn't let them take our mine, so I reached out to Fatestealer. All of us were scorched."

Speak to him before leaving and he'll tell you:

"There is an Argonian village to the east called Lukiul Uxith. I will go there.
Last-to-Water will never forgive me, but at least he is free."
