===The Wayward Son===
At the start of the quest:
"What will I do now? Without the Shornhelm Guard I'm nothing. I told the general. I'm a soldier, not a recruiter. But now I'm to be discharged if I fail? It's not right. I've tried to do my duty, but I can't force people to enlist."
:You can't find new recruits for the Shornhelm Guard? "Not a single one. Montclair's war has decimated our ranks and people now see enlisting in the guard as a foolhardy proposition. I have a few prospects, but they seem to have no sense of duty. I don't know. Maybe my manner is just too harsh."
::Is there some way I can help? "Certainly. I have one prospect who should be simple—Martin Dathieu. He's in the stocks for Mara's sake, but I can get him released if he enlists. When I spoke to him, however, he was stubborn and rude. Perhaps you could talk to him?"
:::I'll go see if I can convince Martin to enlist. "I've already spoken with the constable, and he agreed to release Martin if the young man will enlist. I simply can't understand why a criminal would choose the stocks over doing his duty for his kingdom."
::::Can you tell me why the guard needs new recruits? "Because Rivenspire is a mess. Bloodfiends roam across the land. Montclair loyalists attack our towns. Need I say more?"
:::::Can't the other noble houses provide soldiers? "Yes, but this. Let's face it, this new civil war has taken its toll.
After getting Martin Dathieu to enlist:
"You've certainly done your due diligence. I really appreciate the efforts, but I had a feeling it wouldn't work. Some people just have no sense of duty, and I guess Martin falls into that category."
:Actually, I convinced Martin to enlist. "You did? Excellent! I don't know what you said to him but I don't care. It's my duty to get new recruits and you helped me fulfill it. Thank you. I'll have the deputy release him and we'll get him whipped into shape in no time."
===The Bandit===
At the start of the quest:
"You really have the knack for this. While I'm getting Martin released, I wonder … would you be at all open to taking a crack at another one of my stubborn prospects? Her name's Shuga. She's got a mouth on her, but she'd make a good soldier."
:Why doesn't Shuga want to enlist? "She wouldn't admit it, but I think she's some kind of bandit and that's why she doesn't think much of the Shornhelm Guard. She called me some rather rude names. In fact, I lost my temper. But you … you have more patience."
::Are you sure you want to recruit a bandit? "If it was up to me, no. But our numbers are low and we can't be picky. Besides, I'd rather risk the life of a bandit in battle than some poor girl who's never even swung a sword. If you're willing to speak to Shuga, she's over by the ironworks."
:::I'll talk to Shuga and see how it goes.
After getting Shuga to enlist:
"Oh, well. It was worth a try. I knew she was something of a long shot, with an attitude like that. I'd probably have been forced to beat her down every other day just to keep her in line. Maybe it's better that she won't enlist."
:Actually, I convinced Shuga to enlist. "You did? Well, I'll be an Argonian's aunt! I really didn't think you could pull that off. You missed your calling, my friend. You should have been a recruiter. You can't seem to fail."
===The Lover===
At the start of the quest:
"While we're waiting for Shuga to finally get here, what do you say to taking on the most unlikely prospect of the bunch? If you can recruit this young man, I'll eat my dagger. He's … awkward."
:What makes this recruit so difficult? "Julien Rissiel. That's his name. He seems like a sharp young man, and he's had a little training. The problem is that Julien is more interested in chasing girls than glory. Some might even say he's pathetic. But he is a prospect."
::Any ideas on how I should approach him? "I don't know. I tried to tell him that no girl can resist a man with a few scars, but that didn't seem to sway him. Unfortunately, I lost my patience after that and now he won't even come near me. If anyone can convince him, though, it's you."
:::I'll talk to Julien Rissel.
After getting Julien Rissiel to enlist:
"Don't feel bad. I knew Julien was a hopeless case. A man who's sick in love is a sad man indeed. I feel sorry for him, really. Enlisting would have probably helped set him straight."
:Actually, Julien's decided to enlist. "I can't believe it. I said I was going to eat my dagger, didn't I? I hope you'll let me off on that one. I'm really embarassed. Here I couldn't manage to get a single recruit, and you come behind me and get three."
::Are there any other prospects? "None that are worth our time, and I'll have my hands full whipping these three into shape anyhow. The general's jaw's going to hit the dirt when I march them in. I'll tell him I had help, of course. I don't want him assigning me this duty again."
==Conversations==
Captain Thayer: "I'm sorry, sir. I tried, but no one here is willing to enlist."
General Tibbin: "Unacceptable, Captain. Either deliver me recruits or deliver me your resignation."
