When you approach a fountain, she appears:
:Sister of Pools: "You dare return, little pig? To firghten more of my beloved frogs? Very well. What happens next is on your head!"

When you bathe Deet-Loh, she will appear and turn him into a chicken:
:Hokatsei: "Oh, great water spirit. See how my brother grovels. Can you remove his porkish nature now, please?"
: 
:Sister of Pools: ''"You call this humble? If a pig doesn't suit him, how about a fowl?"''

Online:Deet-Loh's Notes: Nereid Curses

The ancient nisswo in the Argonian village told me I'd find the happiest, most musical frogs in all of Blackwood within the ruins of Vunalk. He also told me to beware the resident Nereid. She's apparently known for imparting curses on anyone who ventures too deeply into her lair.

I'm sure that once she sees how devoted I am to my craft and how talented I am as a musician, she'll be more than happy to let me adopt a few of the frogs that live in the ruins.

Dialogue
You'll hear him speak as you approach.
:Fire-From-Nowhere: "No sign? Good. Carry on."

Tell him what you and Faric found.
:''"Sun's greetings, beeko. Your friend's eyes seem gray with worry. What troubles you both?"
:This is Faric Gemain. We've been investigating the murder of Priestess Rolaine.
:"Rolaine. Ah yes, the prophet-woman these smoothskins mourn. She has been dead for a very long time, but still they cry. It is very strange, but that is the Imperial way, I guess. What did you discover? Something to quiet their hearts, I hope?"
:I have evidence that proves Priestess Rolaine was a necromancer and a serial killer.
:"Well then. That is not what I expected you to say. If this is true, there will be a great wailing in the Dibellaseum. Disbelief, also. They curse the woman, Cerise Gemain, and all who hatch from her clutch. Your proof must be hard as stone."
:It is. Cerise did kill Rolaine, but only to save others. Faric holds all the proof you'll need.
:"I can tell you speak the truth. In the name of Keshu, I claim the Breton, Faric Gemain, as my charge. I place my hand upon the Hist and swear—no harm will befall him here, and the truth of this will come to light, no matter how grim."
:Thank you, captain.'''

If you speak to him again after giving him the evidence of Rolaine's treachery, the captain will assure you that Faric is safe with him.
:"Do not worry for your friend. The dryskins of Gideon and the children of the Hist do not always agree, but in the end, they do as the Black Fin Legion says. If the Dibella-worshipers come for Faric, they will have to deal with me."

Fire-From-Nowhere traveled with Keshu the Black Fin in her youth. He is mentioned in Keshu: The Black Fin Goes to War, Part 1.

Dialogue	
When you first meet Zahsbi in the wilds of Blackwood, he will offer to reveal your fortune for a small price:
:"This one has fortunes if you have coin. All divinations subject to interpretation, of course." 

:"Have you ever wondered what awaits you in the coming days? Wonder no more! For a small fee, your fate and fortune will be revealed. Accuracy guaranteed up to five days."

:"Zahsbi sees you have questions. Who will be your true love? What will be your demise? Will those questions have the same answer? This one could tell you. For some coin, of course."

:"Avoid tragedy! Avoid fate! Avoid an upset stomach from that strange berry you ate! Let this one tell your fortune. A few coins is a small price for defending against disaster."

:'''What's my fortune?
: 
:Pay. [ ]

He will then give you one of several predictions:
:"Zahsbi sees only good things in the future. Bright Moons ahead for you, my friend."

:"Your path is clouded and rocky, this one cannot tell what lies in store.   It may be wise not to eat fish until the future clears."

:"I cannot say what it was I saw, but know that it was under a Dark Moon. You are ill-fated, my friend. Keep a sharp eye out for danger. Do not be angry. Zahsbi does not control what he sees."

:"Soon, you will visit a dark place of lava and fire. Keep your weapons and your wits sharp. Do not ask Zahsbi for more information. He cannot say."

If you try speaking to him after your divination:
:''"No more fortunes for you today, my friend. Looking at the future of one so bright as you makes Zahsbi's eyes hurt."''

:"Imperials took it back. Then when the Longhouse Emperors ruled, they controlled the city until Sai Sahan, at Varen Aquilarios's request, liberated it. Now the city supports a harmonious mix of races. Argonians find this acceptable."''
