Quest-Related Events

He will be on your list of targets to interview during the quest.

"I love wandering the merchant stalls. Examining all the goods that we helped bring to the Gold Coast.
I get a certain amount of pleasure from experiencing the result of all my paperwork and negotiations."

I understand that you received a threatening sweetroll recently.

"How did you know about that? I didn't tell anyone. Of course, it was delivered to the Trading Company building, so I suppose someone could have seen it arrive.
Yes, I received a sweetroll. Came in a small box. At first, I thought nothing of it...."

And then?

"I took a bite and found a slip of paper inside. With a message. But it didn't sound very threatening. Not until you mentioned it. "Tomorrow is your last day in Kvatch."
I just assumed I'd be going to Anvil in a few days. For business."

I think you've been targeted by the Sweetroll Killer.

"What? You really think so? I've heard of the Sweetroll Killer, sure, but why would he target me?
I... I think I'd better just keep doing what I've been doing. Remain in the market, near all the merchants and their customers. That's safe, right?"

Do you know anyone else who received a sweetroll?

"There was that Wood Elf merchant we worked with. Found him floating in a river not far from here.
He got a sweetroll with a message. Kept to his daily routine despite the warning. Then one day, he never showed up at the Trading Company."

Do you work with Reman Mevavius?

"Reman? I'd … I'd rather not discuss my relationship with Reman, if you don't mind.
He's everything I abhor about a certain class of trader—greedy, self-indulgent, and interested in nothing more than increasing his hoard of gold."

I was hired to find and stop the murderer.

"You were? Well, that makes me feel so much better! If anyone can stop the Sweetroll Killer, I imagine it would be someone just like you.
I'm going to finish my tour of the merchant stalls, unless you think that's unwise ….

You should continue to wander the market. Stay near other people.

"That's excellent advice, friend! I'll stay in the market until closing time and then I'll head over to the Gold Coast Trading Company building. That place is built like a fort!"

You should find someplace to hide until I catch the killer.

"I knew this day was going too well. Now I'm being threatened by a tasty dessert and an insane murderer!
I'll go and hide inside the Gold Coast Trading Company. It's sturdy as a fortress and there are always people around. I'll be safe there!"

I need to continue my investigation before I suggest what you should do.

"Of course. Put thoughts of imminent death in my head and then leave me to fend for myself!
Once you've had a chance to consider my situation, do come back and let me know. Hopefully, I'll still be alive when you get here."

If you tell him you need to continue your investigation before deciding on what he should do, when you come back to him, he'll ask:

"You're back. Have you figured out what I should do? Standing around out here in the open is begin to make me nervous."

If you tell him to go hide, speak to him again and he'll say;

"I'll wrap things up and get out of here. I know just the place to hide.
Thanks for dealing with this. You're an honest to goodness hero!"

If he survived and was brought to Engra's Hostel:

"I took your advice and kept myself in the company of others. Though I was a little surprised when your companions here grabbed me from the oub.
I thought I was a goner, but here I am, safe and sound."

If you instructed Dobias to hide somewhere, he will be abducted and poisoned by the Sweetroll Killer. He will be found at Louna's Farmhouse, where you must decide to either kill Louna and let him die, or let Louna go in order for her to give you the antidote to the poison.

Notes

• When you come back to him after telling him you will resume your investigation before making him commit a change in his location, he will ask if you now know what he should do. However, from this starting dialogue, the discussion unfolds like when you meet him for the first time and ask him about the sweetroll, which he then questions you for, which doesn't make sense in this context.

Bugs

• After telling him to remain in the market, speaking to him again afterward will still have him use the dialogue tied to telling him to hide instead. ^?
