Tribunal:Rerlas Mon

Rerlas Mon is a Breton merchant who can be found in the Great Bazaar. He sells three types of pets who will follow you around. Ask about "trained scribs and rats", then ask about "selling off" to get the option to purchase a pet.

He wears a common shirt with matching pants and shoes and carries two gold pieces. Aside from his natural bonus and resistance to magicka, and his ability to shield himself for short periods, he knows the following spells: Orc Strength, Poet's Whim, Powerwell, Rapid Regenerate, and Zenithar's Gospel.

Dialogue
Greetings:
''"Greetings and welcome, sera! Are you in the market for trained scribs and rats? I think you'll find my prices quite reasonable, and my rats and scribs are fine as pets or beasts of burden -- or as tasty little morsels."
"I'm not selling you any more of my trained beasts. You don't take good enough care of them."

latest rumors:
"If you're thinking of going down the sewers to explore Old Mournhold, watch out for the Black Dart Gang. They look like helpless paupers, but they are deadly. They prey on adventurers coming out of the ruins loaded with treasure. They call them the Black Dart Gang on account of the poisoned black darts they use -- deadly poison -- one is enough to kill you."

selling off:
"That's right, you can have a scrib for the low, low price of 20 gold, or a rat for 25. They are trained to follow you and attack anyone who attacks you. OR you can buy my exclusive pack rat for 100 gold. They not only follow and fight, but also carry small burdens. And, in a pinch, you've got fresh meat on the hoof, whenever you need it. What do you say?  Would you like one?"
''Yes, I'd like to buy a scrib.''
"Thanks, %PCRace. Here is your very own scrib. He'll follow you around, right behind you, wherever you go. Come back anytime if you need another or want a replacement!"  
[If you have bought three already]"Sorry, %PCRace. I don't have any more in my stable, and it takes a while to train them. Tell you what. Check by with me later, and I'll see what can be done."
[If your first three have died]"Here is one of my finest pet scribs. He'll follow you around, right behind you, wherever you go. But take good care of him. They're hard to train, you know. Seems a shame to eat the poor little fellows, after all the trouble I have in capturing them and training them. But.. the customer is always right, and they're yours to do with as you wish."  
[If you have bought six]"Sorry, %PCRace. I don't have any pet scribs in my stable, and I don't think I'll have any more in the foreseeable future."
[If all six of them have died]"Good grief, %PCName. Six of the best scribs ever to come out of my stable... dead! And you want me to sell you more? No, sera! I just can't stand it! All that work I put into training them, and you treating them like grocery items? No! It just won't do!"  
''Yes, I'd like to buy a rat.''
"Thanks, %PCRace. Here is your very own rat. He'll follow you around, right behind you, wherever you go. Come back anytime if you need another or want a replacement!"

[If all six haved died]"Good grief, %PCName. Six of the best packrats ever to come out of my stable... dead! And you want me to sell you more? No, sera! I just can't stand it! All that work I put into training them, and you treating them like grocery items? No! It just won't do!" 
No, thank you.
"Well, come back anytime you think you need one. I sure could use the business."
[If you can't afford one]"I'd love to sell you one, %PCRace, but it doesn't look like you can afford it. Come back when you have the money and I'll have the creature packaged up and ready to go."
trained scribs and rats:
"Yes, when I was a lad, I dreamed of being the greatest scrib and rat trainer in the world. And, given the limited capacities of scribs and rats, I flatter myself that I've achieved my goal. These creatures are priceless... but since I find myself unexpectedly short of cash, I'm reduced to selling off my superbly trained scribs and rats as pets."

Wares
thumb|right|Rerlas Mon and his pets for sale

You can only purchase one pet at a time.
Once you have purchased three''' of one particular pet, Rerlas won't sell you any more until those three have died.
In total, Rerlas will sell a maximum of six of each type of pet.

Using Your Pets
They are all mostly useless for combat, as they do very little damage, and will die in one hit from almost any creature in the Tribunal expansion. They can't be brought back to Vvardenfell, since the teleportation is scripted, rather than standard transport. However, scribs can be useful for their paralysis if you can keep them from being attacked, and pack rats are good for carrying things. You'll likely want to keep the pack rat away from fights, and because its flee rating is 100, it will usually run away as soon as combat begins. The regular rats are only useful as a brief distraction.

The pack rat can carry up to 100 pounds of items. The items you give it will enter its inventory, so in some cases, it may even use some of them. Like other NPCs, if the rat is in combat, it will use healing potions when it gets wounded. And, just like other NPCs, it will use some offensive magic items in combat, such as some scrolls. You may need to lower its flee rating with a Rally Creature spell before it will try to help you in a fight.  

Tips:
Use on-touch healing spells to keep them alive.
Fortify Attribute spells can make them stronger or faster. Don't bother with Fortify Skill spells, though, because creatures don't have the same skills as NPCs. 
Just about any spell you'd buff yourself with can be used to help your pets. Be creative!

Notes
Even though Rerlas advertises that you can eat his pets in a pinch, they don't actually drop any ingredients to eat.
After you have bought three of one particular pet, Rerlas says to come back later. However, no matter how much time passes, he will only sell more of that pet when all of the first three have died.

Quest Stages
  
Though not really a quest per se, purchasing pets from Rerlas adds journal entries, but there is no quest title or completion state.
