===A Ransom for Miranda===
At the start of the quest:
"The Midnight Union has taken over Farangel's Landing. They're holding my wife for ransom, but I can't pay it!"
:A kidnapping? What do you mean? "I went to Wayrest to buy a gift for my love, Miranda. When I returned, the estate was overrun! They're holding her for ransom. It's my wife's family that has money, not me! If I can't bargain from a position of strength, they'll kill her."
::How can I help? "I need a carrot to tempt them and a stick to threaten them. You seem fearless—see if you can collect some jewels hidden in the houses, and puffball caps from a crate on the docks. Once you've got all that, meet me near the boathouse."
:::I'll get them and see you there. "Search the houses for jewels, and collect puffball caps from the dock. Then meet me near the boathouse. You could steal clothes from a dead bandit and disguise yourself …."
::::Tell me about your wife. "Miranda's the heir to the Farangel estate. Technically, this all belongs to her. When Miranda and I met, it was love at first sight. I knew we were made for each other."
::::What's your plan? "I'll use the puffball caps to mix a sleep potion. That should put most of their guards out of commission. If the potion doesn't work, we can use the jewels to pay her ransom."
:::::What's the story with the jewels? "Word is the Midnight Union just pulled off a jewel heist. We can use their stolen gems to pay the ransom. Check inside a couple of the nearby houses. I've heard they hide their loot by dispersing it that way."
:::::Why do you need puffball caps? 
After collecting the jewels and the puffball caps:
"Great work! Now we have jewels for the ransom and puffball caps for the sleep potion. It's time to execute my plan. They'll never release Miranda alive unless we have leverage on them."
:Here, take them. "Excellent. I'll hold onto the jewels in case the potion doesn't work. We might have to pay the ransom. Now, here's a reward. There's more where that came from if you'll help with the rest of my plan."
===A Woman Wronged===
"Now that we have the jewels to ransom and puffball caps for the sleep potion, we can execute my plan."
:What's the next step in the plan? "I've created a sleep potion using the puffball caps. Take it and pour some into each of the drinking kegs around the estate. Put enough of those kidnappers to sleep and we'll have some real leverage to bargain."
::When what? "The smuggler bosses are in the counting house back of the docks. After you've doped the barrels, search the counting house for clues as to where Miranda's being held. With luck, we might be able to rescue Miranda without a fight."
:::We'll see.
