Dialogue

Helga in the Outer Camp

When you meet her for the first time, she will greet you with: "Sorry to see another innocent in Stormhold. I need crystals for my work; should you find some in your digging I will gladly help you for those."

She will also provide you with some basic background of the situation: "Varus opens new tunnels, seeking some Stormhold crystal. But his scheme, removing evil from one man to place in another, is madness. The earth itself oozes corruption as a result of afflicting far too many for me to help."

If you die, Helga will revive you with the words: "Ah, you're awake now. Overseers dragged you in here; but I thinked [sic] they lined their pockets first. You should be fine now."

If you give her something, she will respond with either:

• Crystal - "Thank you. I'll be able to do wonders with this."
• Other - "I have no need for that. Please keep it."

With the aid points earned from giving her crystals, she can offer you several essential magical services:

• Recovery: "All fixed. Try not to push yourself too hard down there."
• Bless:
  • "Drink this. You should notice an improvement to all of your skills for a while." (2 AP)
  • "There is no need for me to bless you now, since you are already blessed."
• Cure: "You had a few nasty ones, didn't you? No matter. You're all better now." (1 AP)
• Warp:
  • "Ready to warp back to your last location?" (1 AP)
  • "You haven't use [sic] a warp crystal yet, so there's no where [sic] to return you."
• Enchant:
  • "Here you go - all spiced up and ready for action." (3 AP)
  • "There is no need for me to enchant that."
• If you don't have the required number of aid points she will deny you the service, saying: "Sorry, I'll need more crystals before I can do that."

She has several rumors which advance the storyline, often opening new dungeons for exploration:

• "They have broken through to new areas in the north. Seek more crystals there."
• "Excavation in the south has opened new tunnels."
• "Varus executed four tunnel rats for knowing the secret of what he seeks. Rumors are that it is a crystal."
• "Workers whisper of new areas to the east."
• "There has been a breakthrough in the west."
• "Varus threatened me, saying I was after his Storm Crystal. He will kill me I know it, and I don't even know what the crystal does."
• "Varus is on his way to the Storm Crystal in the XX [sic]. Please Hurry! You must stop him."

Notes

• There is also a female Nord in Morrowind with the name Helga.
