Quest-Related Events

During the quest if you blacked out, you will wake up with Darva standing over you.

Darva: "Oh good, you're awake! Can you talk?"

She will reveal that she gave you an antidote to help with your drunken state. She created this wine but it has unintended side effects and you do not remember what you did. The housecarl Innarrek wants to speak to you:

"I was worried for a moment there. I gave you the antidote but then you passed out. I thought I mixed it wrong!"

What happened?

"I'm afraid you fell afoul of my self-replenishing wine. The bandits in Fort Greenwall stole it from a caravan last week."

Self-replenishing wine?

"Yes, I created it for my alchemical purposes. It's still experimental though, so it has some unintended effects."

Such as?

"It replenishes your thirst along with the wine, so you can't stop drinking it. We found you stumbling around outside Fort Greenwall."

I can't remember anything.

"You know, it's better this way. That poor cat. Some things you just can't unsee.
But I digress, our housecarl Innarrek wishes to speak to you, and I must get back to my work."

If you didn't blackout during the quest, you must speak to her inside the Scent of Serenity.

"Don't fool with alchemy unless you know what you're doing!"

I found this strange wine in Fort Greenwall. Do you know what it is?

"Let's see ... oh, dear. Did you drink any of this?"

If you didn't drink any of the wine	If you drank the wine
No.	Only once, though I had to resist the urge to drink more.
"Oh, thank Vivec! This is my experiment in self-replenishing wine. Bandits stole it from my caravan a week ago."	"What self-control! This is my experimental self-replenishing wine. Bandits stole it from my caravan a week ago."

Self-replenishing wine?

"Amazing, isn't it? It'll make me rich someday, if I can ever work out the wrinkles. There are ... unintended side effects."

Like what?

"Well, the wine replenishes itself, but it also replenishes your thirst. The more you drink, the more you want to drink, until you wake up the next town over, and everyone's calling you Mrs. Bedingfield.
Not that I speak from experience, of course."

Most of the bandits in Fort Greenwall were drinking it.

"Oh, my. At least we won't have to worry about raids for a while. Although that could get very strange.
Our housecarl Innarrek has been concerned about Fort Greenwall. You should tell him what happened."
