Dialogue
Buried in the Past
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
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!"
: 
::"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.
: 
::''"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 cant live this way. Kill me. I beg you! Kill me now!"
:: 
:::[same as above]
:: 
:::"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&mdash;awful things! Please, have mercy. Take the Fang, but kill me, quickly!"
::: 
:::Barvyn: "It's gone. I'm free."

:"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."
