Journal

Sevrin has made off with a burlap sack of oranges with the intention of fencing it to Goblin Mugger. Staelwyrn bids you seek out Sevrin and cast /doubt on his actions, that he might be compelled to return the oranges.

Sure enough, Sevrin attempted to hock Staelwyrn's oranges to goblins. When the deal went sour, Sevrin got away, but his three henchmen are still in need of rescue.

Inform Sevrin that his henchmen are alive and well, and talk to him about the burlap sack of oranges.

Sevrin is grateful to you for saving his henchmen, and pledges to honor his word. Retrieve the sack of oranges.

Deliver the sack to its rightful recipient, Ossine at the La Thagran Checkpoint.

Judging by Ossine's reaction, this is not the first time Sevrin has attempted a stunt like this. Return to Summerford Farms and relay to Staelwyrn all that transpired.

Staelwyrn bemoans the fact that Sevrin is more trouble than he will ever be worth. Good help is hard to find.

Dialogue

Staelwyrn: Pains me to say, but all the gil in the world can't buy loyalty. There are some, like you, who can be trusted. But then there are others...

Staelwyrn: Until now, I've had no choice but to rely on that charlatan Sevrin, even though I am full aware he's been doin' shady deals behind my back. More than once I've heard tell of improper tradin' with goblins.

Staelwyrn: I wouldn't be the least surprised if that were happenin' right now. Not a bell ago, a sack of oranges vanished, as did Sevrin. I want you to find and confront the bastard for me, [Surname]. I'm sure there's wrongdoin' afoot, so be sure to doubt anythin' that comes out of his mouth.

If you talk to Sevrin without using /doubt:

Sevrin: Bloody hells! I'm up the strait without a paddle!

You /doubt Sevrin.

Sevrin: What's this now? Staelwyrn sent you for the oranges? Huh... So the old bugger had known all this time... Argh, what does it matter anyway?

Sevrin: Listen, you're one o' those goody-goody adventurer types, right? Go rescue me mates from those double-dealin' goblins! They're just over yonder by the bonfire.

After you render aid to Sevrin's henchmen:

Eyrimhus: Sevrin sent you? Hah! The way he flew out of here, I was sure he'd sold us down the river!

Sozai Rarzai: If you hadn't come, my dodo would've been cooked! Mmm...cooked dodo.

Aylmer: I owe you one. Would've gotten away meself if not fer Sevrin shovin' me aside.

Sevrin: You saved me mates, and for that, I owe you.

Sevrin: S'pose I should be ashamed I couldn't clean up my own mess...

Sevrin: ...But a pirate knows no shame! I've no qualms about goin' back on my word! I'm only givin' you this sack 'cause I like the cut of your jib. Take it to Ossine, an' send him my regards.

Ossine: What have we here? A delivery from Summerford Farms, and as scheduled? Hah! There's a first time for everything!

[You hand over the sack of oranges.]
