A Question of Murder

If you are not an Argonian:

"What do you want, dryskin?"

If you are an Argonian:

"What do you want, Warrior?"

Either will lead to:

Just wanted to ask a few questions.

"Oh? What about?"

A combatant was murdered.

"Ah, so the rumors about Volusianus are true, then? Well, I'm sure he had it coming."

There are two possible replies to this with the first being:

Were you two at odds?

"What? No! I didn't have anything to do with this. I didn't particularly care for him or his teammates, but neither does anyone else."

Why is that?

"Well, combatants are like a big family, right? A family where we hit each other with a weapon, but still...

The second reply is:

What do you mean?

"He and his teammates act like they own the place. They keep picking fights left and right."

Isn't that what combatants do?

"People in this business don't hate each other. You go in, do what you have to do. Nothing personal. Sometimes you'll have a drink afterward with the person you just fought."

What do you mean?

"We form a family, us combatants. Sure, we fight against each other, but we'll go drinking afterwards, you understand."

Regardless of which option is picked, it will lead to him saying:

"These guys just keep to themselves, though. If you try to get into their little circle, they'll just kick you out. Literally. Ask that one over there. He was Volusianus' training partner. You'll see."

If Metundus has already been spoken to you can say:

I did. He wasn't very helpful.

"They're all like that. Good luck getting anything from them."

If spoken to again:

"You can ask around, but don't expect much cooperation from Volusianus' mates. Still, I hope you find the murderer. An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us."

Tournament: Dalan Silver-Skin

As you approach him he will say:

"Good to see you again, Warrior. How goes your inquest?"

As it should.

"I hope you find that murderer. If you're still able to after this fight, naturally."

Don't worry about me.

"What a coincidence, that is also what the arrogant Imperial before you said. Perhaps you can go keep him company in the infirmary? "

Let's get to it, then.

"Straight to the point. I erect the spine of satisfaction. Have at me, Warrior!"

Once he is defeated he will say:

"I cannot... win this fight... You are too strong for me, Warrior. I yield."
