:''"Do you smell that? The air here, it's almost sweet. Be wary. There are vampires about and that smell means they're on the prowl. It's best you didn't wander alone."
:Who are you?
:"Sabonn. I lead a small band of vampire hunters. We heard rumors of an infestation of the feral monsters in this region, but we didn't realize just how bad it was until we arrived. A powerful vampire lord and his clan are terrorizing the region."
:What do you intend to do?
:"We're going to kill as many of them as we can, until they overtake us or we've wiped them out. You look like you can hold your own in a fight. We can always use more help, if you're interested."
:Absolutely.
:"Good. Four hunters is better than three, any day."
:Where is the rest of your team?
:"Closer than you might think. You want to meet them?"
:Certainly.

Sabonn will then call to his friends who appear out of nowhere:
:Sabonn :  "Zungarg! Agalir! Come meet our new friend!"
:Zungarg :  "No need to shout, Sabonn!"''

If you speak to him before speaking to the others, he'll say:
:''"A team works best together when the members know and trust each other, but I can understand if you're ready to get to work."
:I don't need to meet everyone, I'm ready to hear the plan now.'''

If you've spoken to Zungarg and Agalir though, he'll say:
:''"Looks like you've made your introductions. Time to get to work."
:How exactly is this going to work?
:"All right. Pay close attention. I'll try to be brief, but if we don't all focus on doing our job, we're as good as dead. The vampires in this area are controlled by a single, powerful vampire lord. He likely sired most of them himself."
:What's the plan?
:"Take this bloodstone. Don't lose it. It has the power to turn water to blood and whip up a ferocious hunger in the most sated vampire. When the time is right, we're going to use it to lure the vampire lord out of his hidey-hole."
:All right.

At this point, Sabonn will address the group:
:Sabonn :  "Listen closely. This is the plan."
:Sabonn :  "We're going to lay our trap in the abandoned village up the hill. Zungarg, you guard the west gate."
:Zungarg :  "No one's getting by me."
:Sabonn :  "Agalir, you're on the ridge by the east gate."
:Agalir :  "May the Divines guide my bow."
:Sabonn :  "I'll take the north. Our new friend will use the bloodstone to lay the bait in the well at the center of town."
:Zungarg :  "I love this part."
:Sabonn :  "Drop the bloodstone into the well. Blood will spout forth, and it'll draw the vampires out of hiding. We'll be waiting to cut them down."
:Sabonn :  "The vampire lord won't sit by while we thin his flock. If you see him, whistle."
:Sabonn :  "If everyone's ready, let's get into position."
:Zungarg :  "Whoever kills the fewest bloodsuckers buys the drinks!"
:Agalir :  "Don't joke, lest the Divines punish your frivolity."''

Speak to him before heading into the stronghold and he'll say:
:''"I'm going to do one last perimeter sweep and hold the north gate. Don't worry, if anything gets past us, I'll be there to help you."''

Once you've used the bloodstone, Sabonn will join you in the stronghold and warn of attacks:
:Sabonn :  ''"Look out! They're coming from the stables!"
:Sabonn :  "I think I hear something in the old smithy. Stay sharp!"
:Sabonn :  "I could kill these things all day."
:Sabonn :  "They are swarming out of the longhouse! Stand firm!"
:Sabonn :  "That's the last of them. Good work."''

Speak to him and he'll say:
:"Damn it. What went wrong? The vampire lord should have appeared by now.  Where are Zungarg and Agalir?"
:'''I haven't seen them.
:"Everyone was in their places. The plan was working perfectly. This doesn't bode well. I'll go west and see if I can find Zungarg. You go to the east gate and look for Agalir. But keep your guard up. There's no end to vampire tricks."
:Agreed.'''

Find Agalir's body and Sabonn will come running:
:Sabonn :  "Oh no, not Agalir."

:''"No. Not Agalir. I'm such a fool. Clearly the vampire lord saw through our trap. Agalir's death is on my head."
:Did you find Zungarg?
:"No. No body either. That's no comfort. When dealing with vampires, the lack of a body usually only means one thing. I pray I'm wrong."
:What do we do now?
:"We need to keep looking for Zungarg, and if he's—oh, praise Stendarr! There he is! I never thought I'd be so happy to see that stupid Orc in all my days."''

You turn to see Zungarg standing quite far away.  He'll say in a peculiar stilted way:
:Zungarg :  ''"I followed the vampire lord right to his lair. It's in the cave, north of town."
:Sabonn :  "Quick, follow him. Slay the vampire lord. For Agalir!"''

If you speak to Sabonn, he'll say:
:''"Zungarg said the entrance to the vampire's lord lair is in the valley north of town. We need to get there immediately."''

Once inside the lair, Sabonn will exclaim:
:Sabonn :  ''"Zungarg! It's as I feared. He's turned. You'll pay for this, vampire scum!"''

Despite Sabonn's previous remark, if you speak to him, he'll say:
:''"This is it. The monster's lair. But no sign of Zungarg. This is … discomfiting. Keep your guard up."''

Once Lenendore is defeated, he'll yell:
:Sabonn :  "Meet me outside. I need to get out of here."

:''"So that's it, then. The vampire lord is dead. As are Zungarg and Agalir. I've lost partners before, but you never get used to it. I feel responsible."
:What are you going to do now?
:"I'll bury my friends. Then, I suppose I'll seek out more companions in the next vampire lair. I can't rest until this scourge is wiped from Tamriel. Zungarg and Agalir felt the same. Thank you for your help, friend."

:"I need to think about what I'm going to do next."''

(Sabonn never leaves the spot outside Lenondore's lair.)
