Hentold

Hentold is a grave robber in the Valley of the Tombs area east of Carnival, who is trying to run away from an undead Revenant that he disturbed by taking its dagger.
When you first come within sight of Hentold, he will call out for help. He is very near a random spawn point that can produce between three to four wild dogs or kobolds, or the occasional Ankheg. It's possible that you may initially take the spawning of these monsters as the cause of his distress, but they are not. He has broken into a nearby tomb and angered its undead occupant by stealing a dagger. Now he begs you to take the dagger and return it. He'll permanently leave after the dialogue has finished, no matter what dialogue options you choose and whether or not you take his dagger.
Although this seems very much like a typical side quest setup, but nothing is recorded in your journal.
==Dialogue==
"Please, no! Don't let him get me... please..."
"AHHH! Who are you?! Don't kill me! Please! I'm so sorry! I'll give it back, just don't kill me!"
:1. Settle down, sir, just settle down. No one here is going to hurt you. Tell me what your problem is.
::"Wha... my problem? My problem is the horrible death replaying in my mind! I canna concentrate, my mind is... my mind... I didn't mean it! I'll give it back! You! You can take it to him! Here! Give it back!"
:::1.1 - I will help thee, but what must I return? Who should I return it to?
::::"A cave! It's but a short way's east... there was a grave... I opened... Oh, by all that's good, I disturbed its lonely slumber with my foolishness! It haunts me, and I get no rest in sleep! Please! I shall go mad if it is not returned! Take this dagger to the tomb..."
:::1.2 - I am no messenger pigeon! Your problems do not interest me, though I shall keep this trinket as compensation for suffering your company!
::::"Just take it! I will have nothing more to do with it! Take it to his lonely grave and I swear I'll never rob another tomb as long as I hope to live! Blast the southern sun for leading me that way!"
:::1.3 - It would seem that you have brought this on yourself. Whatever happens to you shall be your own fault. I'll not help a petty thief.
::::"Know you no charity? Shall I be condemned for one slight against someone long since dead? I'd wager you have looted the far more recently deceased in your own travels, and yet you judge me? Fie! A pox on you! Begone and leave me to die!"
:2. Yeah! You had better... give it back. Right quick too!
::"Here! Take it! Just get out of my dreams so I can rest! I swear I'll never go grave robbing down there again! Blast the southern sun for leading me there in the first place! I swear I'll no do it again!"
:3. Yeah! You had better... give it back. Right quick too!
::"You... By the Nine Hells, who are you? Bah, I care not. You want this trinket? So be it. But I warn you, take it back lest you suffer as I have! Take it back lest you die as I would have! He gets in your head, he does! I disturbed his lonely slumber, so he ruins mine as penance! Return it east lest you pay as well!"
:4. Relax, you simpering fool. I am just passing by. You do not interest me in the least."
::"Why SHOULD I interest you? I am to be dead soon enough! Leave me then, leave me to my doom!"
:5. I fear I do not have the time to assist you.
::"Fine! Go then, and leave me to my fate! May the Nine Hells take you for leaving me to die, and may they take me for ever going near that damnable tomb in the first place!'
other replies to dialogue attempts:
::"Nooo... who... You again! Have you come to quicken my death, or just to watch me suffer?"
If you haven't returned the dagger to the Revenant:
::"Please hurry! I canna bear this sleepless torment much longer!"
== Charmed Dialogue: ==
"If you're my friend, you'll let me get away from this place! A ghoulish creature pursues me in my head. I canna sleep a wink of restful sleep. I didn't mean to steal from its grave! Well, maybe i did... But I'm still sorry! Please take it back to his lonely grave for me, friend. Pal?"
