Quest-Related Dialogue

The Bandit

After accepting your quest, you find her, the next potential recruit, standing outside the ironworks. She is not pleased:

"Damn trash! That's all it is! Let it be known that Jerine's Ironworks sells nothing but dung. They call them swords, but you can't get an edge on one of these blades to save your life.
Even the Shornhelm Guards got better steel than this!"

I hear the Shornhelm Guard has some of the best weapons in Rivenspire.

"Oh no! Not another one! What's it take to be a recruiter? The inability to understand verbal language?
If you want me to write it down for you, I can carve it on your arse! I already told that old sow, Thayer! I'd eat dung before joining the guard!"

What do you have against the Shornhelm Guard?

"Bunch of Elf-loving weaklings that run around Rivenspire getting kicked in the arse. People I run with, they eat members of the Shornhelm Guard for breakfast!
You look tougher than your average guard, but my boyfriend would wipe the dirt with you."

I'll take that bet!

"Ha! You want to bet on how long you'll last or whether you just turn tail the moment you see him? Nah, this could be fun, though.
Beat my boyfriend, I'll enlist. If he beats you, well, he'll just take your gear and leave your corpse in the road."

Then we have a deal. Where can I find your boyfriend?

"Just take the road south out of town—that's where we do our business. Don't worry about finding Goveled … he'll find you.
Oh, and don't expect a formal challenge—just be ready to fight. I'll be here if you decide you're too much of a coward."

If you speak to her before heading out:

"I knew it! You lost your spine, didn't you?
That's fine. I'll be here a bit longer if you get it back. Otherwise, goodbye to you and your stupid Shornhelm Guard."

Return to her after defeating her boyfriend, she puts on a little show:

"How vile! Is that a piece of Goveled's brain on your boot? What are you? Some kind of monster?
Only joking around, of course. You beat him, huh? I'm impressed."

You're not mad that I killed your boyfriend?

"Nah. That's what that bastard deserves for sneaking around behind my back with that little Bosmer wench. I knocked her off myself!
Nope. I haven't got any hard feelings. In fact, I'd say that was the easiest break-up ever."

So you'll keep your end of the bargain and enlist in the Shornhelm Guard?

"I suppose so. Goveled's gone, and to be honest, I was pretty sick of sitting around down there by the road and hassling people for a handful of coins.
I'll give the guard a try. You can tell Captain Thayer I'll come around soon."

If you speak to her again before reporting back to Captain Thayer, Shuga will assure you that she isn't planning on running.

"Don't worry. I'm not going to try to skip town or anything. If I wanted to do that, I'd have just spit in your eye and stabbed you in the stomach, and gone along my merry way.
I'm coming … when I feel like it."

You can now return to Captain Thayer. After completing the quest, she can later be found standing next to Martin Dathieu. Shuga sees the Guard as a challenge she is eager to take on.

"I've decided to make this a personal challenge. I'm going to turn things around for the Shornhelm Guard. They'll be the most feared outfit in all the Covenant by next year. You can bet on it!"

The Crown of Shornhelm

If she was recruited before the coronation at Shornhelm Castle, she will be there with the Captain and her squad mates. Shuga has being doing well with the Guard.

"Ah! You're one who killed that old skeever Dark Elf I was seeing! What was his name again …?
No matter. I owe you, though. This soldier business is a lot more fun than being a bandit!"

Alternatively, if you convinced Julien Rissiel to give up on Guendeline Ascenge, he and Shuga will have started up a relationship.

"Ah! You're one who killed that old skeever Dark Elf I was seeing! What was his name again …? No matter. He's ancient history now.
I'm sharing a tent with Julien these days, if you catch my meaning. For the time being, at least."
