Quest-Related Events

When you walk near him, he will say:

"Filthy Goblins stole my wine!"

If his outburst prompts you to approach him, he will abruptly ask you a question:

"Why's it called blue wine? It's not actually blue."

I'm sorry?

"I'm a wine trader! Balmora Blue Wine is my most shuck … my most pop-lar … my best selling wine. Of course, I'm ruined now.
Those Gob-bins over there! In the camp. Knocked over my wagon and killed my horse. Took most of my shipment."

Do you want me to help you?

"Yeah. Yeah! That's a great idea! I need my shipment back. For the selling.
Can you get the wine back frumma camp over there? And bring it here? To me?"

Try not to move. I'll be back with your wine.

If you approach him before retrieving the wine, he will attempt to give you a helpful tip:

"Remember, wine comes in bottles: round, thin bottles. Probably on the ground. Can't miss them."

Are you okay, Drothan?

"Oh, sure! Sure! I'm a topnosh … I'm a good wine seller. I'm Drothan. The Winemaster! I sell from Fort Virak to Davon's Watch and ever'where in between.
Are you real? Your ears look funny."

After you have recovered the wine, he will be overcome by joy:

I've recovered what's left of your shipment.

"Thank the Three! All three of them! This wine is perfect for selling. To other people.
You are my new and bestest friend. If you ever have need of wine, remember my name—Drothan. The Winemaster."

If you speak to him after returning the wine, he will repeat his thanks:

"Thank you again, my fine, fine friend.
Don't worry about me. I'm going to sit here and inspect every one of these bottles to make sure they're all still good. For the selling."
