;Questionable Contract
In his tent:
"Oh, hello. You're not from Willowgrove. You're … looking through my things. Can I help you?"
:You're Pircalmo? I'm here to help. "Thank the Eight! I really could use some help. Something's gone terribly wrong, and I don't know what I did. I should never have told them I was a powerful mage. My poor Alanya … I don't want to eat her!"
::I found a ritual in your tent that might help? "A ritual? Oh! The ritual Master Telenger sent for me! You're right! This should absolutely work! We'll just need to gather the right ingredients. Err. Will you gather them? I really should attend to … things on the hill."
:::I can do that. What do I need to get? "The chitin of a hoarvor, five torchbug thoraxes, and a heartwood fragment. I don't know … maybe Ranneth will know where you can find these things? I have to get back up the hill. Just find me when you have them. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
::::I'll see you there, Pircalmo.
After gathering the ingredients:
"My friend from the tent! How good to see you. Did you find the ritual components?"
:Pircalmo, what's going on up here? "I don't know what you mean. Nothing's wrong. Nothing at all."
::'The forest is full of Atronachs!" "Ah … you noticed them. Well, that's true. I intended to summon up just a simple magical force to clear the trees. My people, we don't make pacts with Daedra. You know. Hmm … but something went wrong. Very … very wrong."
:::What are you going to do? "Cast the ritual! I've got everything ready here. Double-checked, just to be sure. Just needed those components you gathered and … yes! Ready to go! I'll just get started."
After he fails to cast the spell:
"Nnnn! It's … just barely holding together!"
:Is it working? What's wrong? "Since the spell I cast didn't … wasn't intended to bring in the Atronachs. I'm having trouble … sending them back!"
::How can I help? "I need to link the spell with the Atronachs. Cores … destroy the creatures, and get me a core of each element type. And … agh … hurry!"
:::I'll be right back.
When returning with the Atronach cores:
"She seemed very upset. Very upset!"
:I've got the cores. What was that all about? "Alanya! No! Ranneth will cook her up now that she's seen what's happening here. I have to go, I … I'm such a failure! Please, you have to help me set this right."
::Yes? That's why the Atronachs are here, right? "I normally fail at everything. You have to understand: this spell worked too well! I wanted a simple magical construct, and it summoned dozens of atronachs. Something has to be corrupting my ritual. Twisting it."
:::So what do we do? "Take this wand. I … borrowed it from Master Telenger before I left the Guild. You can use it to pinpoint the source of the corruption. I have to go after Ranneth. I have to save my wife!"
::::I'll see it done. Good luck, Pircalmo.
In Treethane Raneth's house:
"My friend! They hit me over the head and dragged me in here. Is Alanya safe?"
:Alanya is safe. I've convinced Ranneth not to kill her. "Truly? Thank the Eight! My friend, without you, I would never have found out what was going on. Thank you. Alanya and I are deeply in your debt. Where is she?"
::She and Ranneth should be just down the ramp. "What are we waiting for, then? Let's go!"
:::I'll be right behind you.

;Questionable Contract
When returning to Pircalmo with the Atronach cores:
Treethane Ranneth: "What's going on here? You've summoned Daedra into our forest!"
Pircalmo: "We're working on it … please, I'm trying to …."
Treethane Ranneth: "You're a monster! Our contract is broken. The Green has spoken."
Pircalmo: "No! Wait!"
After telling Pircalmo he has been cleared of the blame:
Treethane Ranneth: "Master Pircalmo, Lady Alanya. Please accept my apology."
Pircalmo: "Um, don't worry! I thought it was my fault too!"
Alanya Softpetals: "… What he means to say is, these sorts of misunderstandings happen. We're not the type to hold a grudge."
Pircalmo: "Right. Yes. That. That's what I meant."
Treethane Ranneth: "I'd like to extend you a more permanent offer here. We could use someone with your diligence and knowledge."
Pircalmo: "I don't really follow. I don't want to put Alanya at—"
Alanya Softpetals: "Dear, she's offering you a job. You'd be the town mage."
Pircalmo: "Really? I mean, yes! Absolutely. Uh, if it's all right with you, dear."
Alanya Softpetals: "I think I'd quite like that. No more stone tables, though, Ranneth."
Treethane Ranneth: "It would be our honor to have you both here."
