Dialogue with Juranda-ra[]
First the hurricane, then rats from the sea. What next, flying mudcrabs?
S'rendarr's mercy, we need more time before the inspection!
- Inspection? What inspection?
- Dominion inspectors. Headwoman Harrani requested their aid to stop smugglers.
- We're honest farmers with good customers. Our moon sugar is used to spice food, not to brew skooma! When the inspectors learn we can't protect our fields, we're finished!
- Protect them from what?
- Hairy, squirmy, squeaky little rats! They've infested the plantation since the storm.
- The inspectors will ask, if we can't protect our fields from those dung-dropping sugar-eaters, how can we protect them from skooma- brewing thieves?
- What can I do to help?
- (A} Find out why Cinder-Tail's senche-tigers roll on their backs instead of filling their bellies with rat.
- Does that one expect to keep his jon if the inspectors find vermin in our fields?
- What will the Thalmor do if they find rats?
- (B} At best? The inspectors will recommend our moon-sugar be confiscated.
- What about "at worst?"
- To the east, a plantation burns. Was it due to the inspectors' recommendations? Who can say?
- Either way, Mistral will weep for our passing. With Laughing Moons gone, skooma will flow through the streets!
- Why is that?
- When moon-sugar runs dry, people turn to smugglers. With smugglers comes skooma.
- But the inspectors aren't from here. If we tell them, they will not listen!
- If I help you, where should I start? Go to (A}
- What is moon-sugar? Go to (C}
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
- Why is that?
- What is moon-sugar?
- (C} Ha! You pull this one's tail, yes? A white powder, very sweet, used as a spice for food.
- Some of us believe it gives true insight into ja-Kha'jay, where all fates are bound. Others use it to brew skooma.
- Skooma? What is skooma?
- Poison.
- Skooma-peddlers claim a single drop lets you escape from the world. It's because drinking the stuff makes you want to drink more of it, until you want nothing else.
- What will the Thalmor do if you fail the inspection? Go to (B}
- Goodbye.
- Tell me about ja-Kha'jay.
- It is not this one's place. The monks at Two Moon's Dance might instruct you, if you seek them out.
- What will the Thalmor do if you fail the inspection? Go to (B}
- Goodbye.
- It is not this one's place. The monks at Two Moon's Dance might instruct you, if you seek them out.
- Goodbye.
- Skooma? What is skooma?
- Goodbye.
- What about "at worst?"
- (B} At best? The inspectors will recommend our moon-sugar be confiscated.
- Goodbye.
- What will the Thalmor do if they find rats?
- Goodbye.
- What can I do to help?
- Goodbye.
- Protect them from what?
- Goodbye.
“Awash in a sea of rats, Laughing Moons Plantation is in dire need of assistance. Juranda-ra asked me to help with the infestation.
Cinder-Tail may know how mere rats have defeated hi senche watch tigers.

Dialogue with Cinder-Tail[]
Want to buy a carpet? How about three? They aren't good for much else.
Yes, Afeh, even you?
- What's wrong with your senche-tigers?
- "Do not eat the rats," this one says. Do they listen? No!
- Stupid senche. Lazy senche!
- Why can't they eat the rats?
- They already did. That's the problem! Moon sugar makes you sleepy if you eat too much.
- Rats eat moon suger[sic], senche eat rats, and then? Lazy senche! Especially you, Gobani.
- Can you get them moving again?
- (A} Not with sugarbellies. These useless senche could only kill a rat if they fell on it. From a great height.
- If the senche won't move, what about the Thalmor inspectors?
- Go inside, lock the doors, wait until they leave? No, let this one think. Without senche hunters, what could….
- Thunderbugs… heh. No, it would never work.
- What about thunderbugs?
- Thunderbugs nest nearby. They defend their delicious eggs from anyone who'd make a meal of them, yes? If you grabbed an armload of eggs….
- Won't they try to protect their eggs?
- Undoubtedly! But they'd hesitate to harm the eggs, once you possess them. Smash an egg into each rat nest, and the thunderbug's electric frenzy kills the rats before the inspectors arrive.
- You're sturdy, yes? A little shock won't stop you!
- All right. I'll see if it works.
- Wonderful! Save some eggs for Cinder-Tail, yes? They are so very tasty!
- Goodbye.

- Can you get them moving again?
- It doesn't matter why. Juranda-ra said you need to get them moving. Go to (A}
- Goodbye.
- Why can't they eat the rats?
- Goodbye.
“...
According to Cinder-Tail, Thunderbugs are fiercely territorial, following their eggs wherever they are taken. Perhaps they can be used against the rats.

“...
By throwing Thunderbug Eggs into the rat nests, I should be able to take the fight to the rats.

{====Dialogue with Juranda-ra====
Clever, luring thunderbugs out of their mounds like that. A scheme worthy of Baan Dar, himself!
They're all gone, then?
- I cleared away all the rats.
- Excellent, our gracious Inspector has been most patient with us. Perhaps witnessing your ingenuity will affect his findings.
- Is there anything more I can do?
- Jone and Jode dance kindly with you, walker. Whatever the findings of our esteemed Inspector, we're in your debt!
- Complete Quest.
- Never mind.
- Jone and Jode dance kindly with you, walker. Whatever the findings of our esteemed Inspector, we're in your debt!
- Goodbye.
