A Pinch of Sugar

While you are exterminating the rat nests, Inspector Tarma and his aide will have arrived.

Juranda-ra: "We did not expect you so soon, Inspector Tarma."

Inspector Tarma: "One must arrive early to see the truth of things."

Juranda-ra: "The truth? But we have nothing to hide, Inspector."

Inspector Tarma: "I hear that often, Clan Mother. Far too often."

Before you successfully deal with the rat infestation, he'll say:

"A lapse in control leads to smugglers brewing skooma. If there's a reason, I'll recommend Headwoman Harrani shut this plantation down."

You can also overhear Tarma questioning the Clan Mother:

Inspector Tarma: "I can't help but notice the abundance of vermin about, Clan Mother."

Juranda-ra: "The great storm was not kind to us. Still, we have the matter in hand."

Inspector Tarma: "Do you?"

Juranda-ra: "Indeed, we brought in a specialist. This one assures you, Inspector, the matter will be resolved shortly."

Inspector Tarma: "Clan Mother, tell me your thoughts on the skooma trade."

Juranda-ra: "Moon-sugar is more than a spice, to some of us. Using it to brew skooma is an abomination."

Inspector Tarma: "Then you would have no idea who might supply such an operation …?"

Juranda-ra: "None in this one's employ. We want nothing to do with skooma, Inspector. If we learn any of our customers brew the stuff, you'll be the first to know."

After you've dealt with the rats, you can overhear comment to Juranda-ra about your capacity as a exterminator.

Inspector Tarma: "Tell me, Clan Mother. Wherever did you find this specialist of yours?"

Juranda-ra: "Rajhin's own luck, Inspector. As though ja'Kha'jay provided us with the one we most needed."

Inspector Tarma: "Quaint. Might I suggest a more rigorous selection process? Freelancers are not always so … competent."

Juranda-ra: "As you can see, vermin aren't tolerated at Laughing Moons Plantation!"

Inspector Tarma: "A spectacular display. If all your hirelings are as capable as your specialist, you've no need to worry."

Juranda-ra: "This one is delighted by your words, Inspector."

Inspector Tarma: "I said "if," Clan Mother."

Inspector Tarma: "There's no question, Juranda-ra. Your specialist certainly showed the vermin their place."

Juranda-ra: "Of course, Inspector. We could expect nothing less of our specialists!"

Inspector Tarma: "Haldoril, make a note. "Unorthodox methods, but vermin-free."

Haldoril: "Sir."

If you speak with him at this point he will remark:

"Crude, but effective in your methods. Perhaps you've heard that before."

Once you have spoken with Juranda-ra and received your payment:

"If this place remains open, as has yet to be determined, the Clan Mother should hire you in a more legitimate capacity."

Afterwards you can overhear him talking to Juranda-ra about the details of his future stay at the plantation.

Inspector Tarma: "I'll require accomodations [sic] for myself and my aide. You'll provide them, of course?"

Juranda-ra: "Naturally. Will you be dining with us, as well?"

Inspector Tarma: "Erm … that will not be necessary. Khajiiti fare is too … cultural for my palate."

Juranda-ra: "Will you be staying with us long, Inspector?"

Inspector Tarma: "As long as necessary. One can only tolerate so much fresh air."

Juranda-ra: "Truly? Then we'll endeavor to make your stay comfortable."

Inspector Tarma: "Don't fret overmuch. If my duty requires it, I can tolerate such … rustic accommodations."

Juranda-ra: "How was your voyage to our island? You arrived before the great storm, yes?"

Inspector Tarma: "Yes, we arrived in Mistral before it struck. I understand the rest of the fleet was not so lucky."

Juranda-ra: "My condolences, Inspector. Khenarthi's price's not always so high. We can only hope she'll return some of those she has taken."
