Quest-Related EventsEdit
As you enter the cavern from the entrance passage, you will find Byz sweeping a pile of broken furniture. Once he notices you he will start cowering.
- Byz: "No! No hit in face! Byz sweep!"
Since he isn't trying to kill you, talk with him to see what he knows.
- "Please! Byz is small and only sweeps! Do not hurt Byz!"
- You can talk?
- "Yes, chief learn talk, then Byz learn talk from chief after much time with masters. Byz very wise.
But Byz will not talk if you say not to! Byz just clean shiny things, trophies of old masters!" - Tell me what is going on here with the Goblins. Who is the Altmer I saw?
- "Elf is Nelanya. She make deal with Toothmaul tribe, weapons and armor for help! She even give … what is word … contract! Yes!
Elf kings and lords have to accept deal!" - Where is this contract?
- "Contract is in dens, down tunnel. Byz will wait by chief's den! You will see! Byz tell truth!"
- I will look for this contract and find you by the chief's den.
You can ask Byz some questions.
- "Byz will not scream for help. Byz promises."
- What is this place?
- "Chief take all from homes of old masters, put here so we see trophies! Trophies of Elf-masters who wrong us!
Byz not forget beatings. Hit! Hit! Always hit in face!" - You were slaves?
- "From big island, yes. Byz told to muck out dung pits, clean floors, run when small Elf-masters throw rocks.
Chief take us away from all this, form Toothmaul tribe! Yes. Now we look on trophies to remind of us of hardships."
After finding the contract, you can head over to the entrance to the Chief's Chamber, only to find Pirondil threatening Byz. If you talk to the goblin first, you find he hasn't been injured.
- "Elf not hurt Byz, but he threaten to.
Why people always threaten to hurt Byz?"
Once you have explained your plan to Pirondil, the Altmer will head off and Byz will go talk to Chief Koth.
- Byz: "Byz go tell chief you want talk."
When you enter the chamber, Byz will be standing beside his chief.
- "Told you chief would say yes! No hurt Byz!"
After you negotiate with his chief and receive Nelanya's key, Byz will ask you to leave him alone.
- "Byz not get in way! Let Byz alone!"
Once you have confronted Nelanya and decided her fate, you can meet Byz again at the entrance where Pirondil's reinforcements have appeared.
- "Too many elves! One will kill Byz, he knows it!"
After talking with Pirondil, Byz will reveal that he actually missed some aspects of his previous life.
- "Byz is happy going back to sweep in warm elf houses and cellars, and not caves of scum."
Deprecated ContentEdit
In the earlier versions of the game, it was possible for Byz to be killed by Pirondil before the option was removed.
If you decided to kill Koth, Pirondil will draw out his bow and kill Byz:
- Pirondil: "One less goblin to deal with."
NotesEdit
- Partway through the quest, Byz will have 400 health.
