Quest-Related Events
After Aggressive Negotiations you will then be able to help out Laughs-at-All.
:"My scales are dry with disappointment."
:It doesn't seem like the crowd likes your routine.
:"You are correct. The Dark Elves of Kragenmoor do not swim in the River of Humor. I came here to delve into a nearby tomb, but the soldiers prevent my entry."
:Why did you want to enter the tomb?
:"I heard a whisper of a sacred Dark Elf performance. Those who performed it splashed in the River of Humor. And the Dark Elves … laughed. If you tread the dust of the tomb, will you seek the rite for me?"
:I'll see what I can do.
:"Don't eat any cooked trodh, Lukiul. Just tell me everything you hear about the sacred performance. And ignore anything you hear about a secret society, or a death sentence."
:Sorry, what was that about a death sentence?
:"Rumors say the performance required precision. Performing it incorrectly was punishable by death. A mysterious order protected the rite, murdering anyone who performed it without care. Of course, I'm sure those are just rumors."

Returning with the performance notes and learning some important things about them, you will have a choice on how to proceed.
:"Do you bring moisture? What have you learned?"
:I've returned from the tomb.
:"Quickly, tell me of the sacred performance. Moisten my scales."

: 
::"You … are dulling my teeth. Please, does this go somewhere?"
::Here. I wrote it all down. Just take my notes.
::"I … do not understand these words. But their performance is said to have made Dark Elves writhe on the ground with laughter. Perhaps this will finally immerse me in the River of Humor."

:Laughs-at-All: "One day, in full view of the n'wah, the mehra of Koal Canton crushed some muckspunge pulp into a netch's tentacles."
:Laughs-at-All: "In response, the morag of Koal Canton released their kwama across the anmor and poured their shein upon the ground."
:Laughs-at-All: "Only after the mehra was burned in a sujamma molag and put to the dagon was the mora safe to travel again."
:Laughs-at-All: "Xuth, that made little sense."
:Mirthless Order Mage: "Argonian! In the sacred name of the Mirthless, die!"

:Lilvas Dravel: "Oh! That's terrible!"''
