Dialogue[edit]

Buried in the Past[edit]

You're directed to speak to Barvyn during the quest:

"Those pirates are digging ... and drinking. We can take advantage of that."
Are you Barvyn? Your partner, Looks-Under-Rocks, sent me.
"About time he found someone to help. I'm glad you're here!
We've traveled all over Black Marsh searching for ancient Argonian relics. We finally get a solid lead, only to find pirates ahead of us with a treasure map."
If they have a map, they'll find the treasure.
"Maybe not. This 'map' is a stone puzzle in three pieces. When you find one piece, it finds the next. The pirates don't know what they've got, but my partner, Looks-Under-Rocks, does.
Get those pieces to us at the xanmeer, and we're in. And you'll get a cut."
Tell me more about these relics.
"I don't know as much as Looks-Under-Rocks, but just look at these ruins! Xanmeers, the Argonians call them.
The lizards' ruins go way back, and this one's old, real old. Anything from that time must be valuable ... I mean, significant."

If you speak to him after this:

"Those puzzle pieces are somewhere in the pirate camp.
I saw some of the pirates playing with one, tossing it around like a ball."

The Fangs of Sithis[edit]

Looks-Under-Rocks will ask you to meet with Barvyn at the start of the quest. Your conversation with him proceeds as follows:

"Curse it, why can't I pry this open?"
Is this the way in?
"I think so, but it's magically sealed. My tools are useless.
Whatever's in there must be really valuable. It must be significant."
Looks-Under-Rocks gave me this.
"This looks familiar. Looks drew something in one of his journals like this.
What is it?"
A Hist key. He made it by fitting the three puzzle stones together.
"Of course! I remember some of that old lizard's notes. This key won't just let us inside the xanmeer, once we're inside, it'll protect us from the traps and the xanmeer's guardians.
We can't wait any longer!"
We need to wait for Looks-Under-Rocks. He'll be with us shortly.
"I'll wait inside! I won't stick around to be captured by the Renrijra.
If you're smart, you'll follow me. Looks can catch up to us."

When the conversation ends, Barvyn will speak before entering Sunscale Ruins:

Barvyn: "Can't wait any longer! I'm going in!"

Looks will run in from the east, calling out:

Looks-Under-Rocks: "Wait! Don't go in! Stop!"

When you enter Sunscale Ruins, you'll hear Barvyn:

Barvyn: "I hear the Fang. It calls to me."

When you eventually find him, he'll speak once more:

Barvyn: "No ... please ... I don't want to!
He lied! You want the Fang!"

Once he's subdued, you can speak to him:

"The Fang crawled into my mind! What have I done? I can't stop it from gnawing my thoughts.
Help me!"
Give me the Fangs of Sithis!
"What are you going to do?
It's gnawing at my mind. If I give it to you, I'll go mad. I'll die!"
[Intimidate] Give me the Fangs, and I'll let you live.
"Here, take it! There's only one, I swear. I don't know where the other Fang is.
That thing burrowed into my mind. I never want to see it again. Never."
I'll take this to Looks-Under-Rocks.
You must give it to me, Barvyn, no matter the cost.
"It will burrow into your mind, the way it did mine, I only have one Fang, and look what it's done to me. Look what it's done! I can't live this way. Kill me. I beg you! Kill me now!"
[Intimidate] Give me the Fang and save yourself.
[same as above]
What? Give me the Fang, and you can go.
"You don't get it. If you take the Fang, I'll still be its thrall. It's stronger than me. It will make me do things—awful things! Please, have mercy. Take the Fang, but kill me, quickly!"
All right. I'll kill you, if it's the only way to save you.
Barvyn: "It's gone. I'm free."

General[edit]

Prior to turning in "Pull the Last Fang":

"I'm sorry for what happened in the ruins. Thank you for saving me from the Fang of Sithis. I hope you have more luck with it than I did."

After completing his quests:

"We'll have some tales to tell in Hatching Pools. I hope we see you there."
