Grisvar in Cidhna Mine

Grisvar the Unlucky is a Nord thief who has been locked up in Cidhna Mine for life after committing many crimes. He carries two shivs. In exchange for a bottle of skooma, he will give you a shiv.

If you decide to accept Madanach's help he will order you to kill Grisvar as a "show of loyalty".

Dialogue

His potential greetings are:

"I got locked up one too many times. Now I'm in for life."

"Jarl decided I was too much of a problem. Threw me in here with the Forsworn."

"I swear, if I ever get out of here, I'm giving up thieving. Really."

When spoken to directly:

How long have you been here?

"First it was 6 months, then a year, then 2 years. Now I'm in for life."

What are you in for?

"The first time? Thieving. The second time? Thieving. The third time? Thieving. It kind of keeps going like that."

After speaking to Borkul the Beast:

I need a shiv.

"Ah, you want protection? I can get you what you need. Maybe you can do something for me, first? Duach has a bottle of Skooma. Finest distilled Moon Sugar. I'm shaking just thinking about it."

I'll get it for you.

"Thank you, friend. Don't worry. I'll have that shiv ready for you."

I don't think so.

"All right, but if you change your mind. Not like we're going anywhere."

If you already have skooma:

I already have some skooma.

"Ah, you're a clever one aren't you? Now, here's your shiv. Promise you won't ever use it on me, okay?"

Once you return with skooma:

I have your skooma.

"Here's your shiv. Promise you won't ever use it on me, okay?"

When spoken to after Madanach asks you to kill Grisvar:

Madanach says hello.

"What? No. No don't kill me. Please!"

Conversations

Throughout the day, Grisvar can be seen talking to Braig:

Grisvar: "Hey, remember that girl, Eisa? The one who sliced open that pickpocket they threw in here?"

Braig: "The Blackblood [sic] girl? Now there was a fighter. If I didn't know better, I'd say she was a Forsworn woman."

Notes

• In the scene between Braig and him, they are actually talking about Eisa Blackthorn, who, despite them misremembering her last name, can actually be found in-game. Her journal mentions having served in Cidhna Mine for a year.
  • The same scene is internally also number "02", but there is no previous scene between the two men to be found.
