==Dialogue==
===Divert and Deliver===
"Got a minute to help a girl out? This is a rescue that could go down in the history books. Up there is a village that's been taken over by one of the nastiest slaving outfits in all Tamriel and they've captured some of my fellow crewmembers."
:You want help freeing your friends? "We're their only hope, but I have a simple plan, fun too. The Dark Elves outnumber us by a little—actually, a lot. So first, you should create a diversion by setting fire to their tents and the stolen goods on the dock."
::Makes sense. Then what? "Well, my sailors are locked up in a cave behind the town, but the slavers' leader, Ma'jhad Kha, keeps the key in a house he's commandeered. So you'll need to steal the key first, then go down and free the guys. I guess it's not that simple, is it?"
:::I can handle it. "Well, the last thing I want is for you to go running in there unprepared. Might end up getting jumped by Ma'jhad Kha and get locked up with everyone else. The main thing is just to light the fires though. Is that what you wanted to ask about?"
::::Tell me more about Ma'jhad Kha. "You're not thinking about taking him on, are you? That's one crazy Khajiit. He was actually a slave himself but turned on his masters and took over. Killed his competition and became some kind of slaver king. Trust me. Light the fire. Distract him."
::::How do I light the fires? "Improvise. Pull a burning log from their campfire. Then light 'em up—the tents, and all those stolen goods out there on the dock. Hopefully, that'll distract Ma'jhad Kha."
After rescuing her:
"That almost wasn't as much fun as I was expecting it to be. Thank you for coming after me."
:I wouldn't abandon you. "Regardless, I owe you one. That was something wasn't it? The fires, the slavers running everywhere, getting all the guys free … quite an adventure. Hope I see you again, friend."
===The Debt Collector's Debts===
"If you're here to join the crew, today's not the day. The ship's still anchored out in the harbor. I'd write down your name, but I just don't feel like it. Too much to drink last night at the Cloudy Dregs …."
:I'm looking for Captain Marck. "Sorry, friend. He just headed back up to the Cloudy Dregs to speak with the money lender, S'rashi. If I know the captain, he may be having a drink downstairs before he goes up."
===Favor for the Queen===
In Rivenspire:
"Hey there. You the one Queen Maraya bought passage for to Sentinel? All right. I'm just glad you didn't bring along a chest full of luggage. We got to row out to the Posset in this little dinghy here. Real glamorous, eh?"
:I'm sure it will suffice. "As long as you don't mind rowing. Captain Marck already let me do all the rowing on the way in. Such a gentleman. Yeah. I wouldn't expect any rowing from him. We're ready whenever you are. Just say the word and we'll push off."
::I'm ready to go to sentinel. "Then let's get the Oblivion out of here. Come on, Captain. It's your turn to row!"
::How have you guys been doing since we last met? "Well, the captain's convinced we still haven't shaken that string of bad luck that started back in Stormhaven. That's a load of dung though. We got a new crew and a new ship, the Dawn Posset. What more does he want? Beats the Oblivion out of me."
:::He hasn't racked up any more debt with S'rashi, has he? "I don't know. He came into a pretty good-sized pile of coin not long after we saw you in Wayrest. Bought all kinds of cargo with it—legitimate cargo—things he's hoping to sell at other ports. We haven't sold anything yet, though."
In the Alik'r Desert:
"Well, we're here all right, but I'm not sure I'm going to be getting off the boat. In fact, I say we just put right back out to sea."
:Is something wrong here? "You bet your arse there is. Queen Maraya's messenger said she had heard rumors, and I guess they were true … or something. Go talk to Captain Marck. He actually walked a little ways down the dock. Better he tells you about it himself."
==Quotes==
*"And I said this would be fun. Let's get out of here, on!"
*"Good day to be out on the sea, isn't? So why am I standing around here on the docks you might ask …? That's good damn question. Ask Captain Marck." – Before "Rise of the Death" quest, in Sentinel.
*"All right you lubbers. Time to cast off!" – During "Favor for the Queen," before departing for the Alik'r
