52 2. THE ELDER SCROLLS CHAPTER 2: DAGGERFALL<br />

SHUB: You didn't let them know you were listening, did you?<br />

ADVENTURER: Of course not! What do you take me for, a priest lover?<br />

SHUB: Calm yourself, my lord ... that's better...just don't go fiddling with that katana so<br />

much. Makes us nervous.<br />

SHUB: Yes, nervous, very ...<br />

SHUB: Here, sit down. <strong>The</strong>re. Want some mulled wine? No? Oh well, just have to finish it<br />

myself.<br />

SHUB: So they seemed to know the location.<br />

(aside) Hmmmm. This means we have to act fast, quickly, speedily, and with great rapidity.<br />

ADVENTURER: Oh yes! <strong>The</strong>y were talking like they were going to get a load in a few<br />

SHUB: ...just think of all that gold...<br />

SHUB: Trouble is, son - we would like to get that stuff by the cartload, bring it down here ...<br />

SHUB: Have some trustworthy merchant ...<br />

SHUB: Put a spell on him!<br />

SHUB: ... Have some merchant act as sort of, middleman, for us ...<br />

ADVENTURER: But ... then why the delay, gentlemen?<br />

SHUB: You seem like an honest fellow. We'll tell you -- mind you, you let out a word of this,<br />

and there will be a Fire Daedra in your bed ... but no threats between gentlemen, right!<br />

ADVENTURER: Very well -- I shall be the very soul of discretion.<br />

SHUB: You see, we know where the stuff it, cartloads and cartloads of it. But we can't get<br />

there and back ...
