A Cure for the Collywobbles 

Starring Ronja Monto as the Roawiin the Dragon/Lake Illinalta monster, Emma as Vilja, Dragonborn as them self, Anna Castiglioni as Amalee, Cassandra Wladyslava as Dirassi, Lindsey Lorraine as Jade, Jay as Rumarin, Giramor as Skjarn, Gleda the Goat as herself, Viridiane as Zora,  Lila Paws as Anum-La and Lycanthrops as Wilbert from the Vilja mod.

None of the INCP Characters should be accompanying Vilja and the Dragonborn for the Quest to begin.

Premise – A contagion of the Collywobbles (a Skyrim malady) has struck the women of Riften.   Even Maven Black-Briar has it.  The Dragonborn receives a note from Keerava at the Bee and Barb to meet with Dirassi outside in the Riften Market Place.  With her are Amalee, Jade and Rumarin.

Prerequisites for the quest include Vilja joining the Bards College, The Sleeping Giant, Honors Proving, Bards Beasts and Beauty and The Children Fair.

A courier will deliver a note from Keerava to see her at the Bee and Barb.   Vilja will comment on the note.

Vilja: Sounds like we should see Keerava and find out what she wants.

Once at the Bee and Barb the Dragonborn speaks to Keerava

Dragonborn talk to Keerava

Dragonborn: We got your message to see you.

Keerava hands the Dragonborn a note.

Vilja: Well, what does the note say?

Read the note.

 

Urgent Note to Dragonborn

Dear Savior of Tamriel (yes that means you if you are the Dragonborn.  If you are someone else, please return this note to him)

We need your help desperately.  See me in the Riften marketplace.

Dirassi

 

When we get to the spot, Vilja will say:

Vilja: Why don’t you introduce me to your friends?

 

(Unless the INPCs have been introduced to Vilja earlier so she is aware of those she will meet during the quest).  Vilja-style introductions to present company Dirassi, Rumarin, Jade and Amalee if necessary.  Vilja will have previously met Amalee, Rumarin, Anum-La and Zora in their quests.  Time to introduce them if not accomplished previously.

Talk to Dirassi

Dragonborn:  We got your note, what is so urgent.

Dirassi:  Before I tell you Dragonborn, Rumarin asked that he might have a few words.

The camera shifts to Rumarin who steps forward.  It is a scene so others stand still.  Hopefully, no one is blocking the view of Rumarin.

Rumarin:  I would like to break character at this time and try something new.  Most of you know me as a handsome leading Elf, but right now I want to serve as the narrator.  As you know, many parts of our stories involve heroic quests to save the world, but what of the everyday medical needs of the people?  We have heroic Bladebinders, but what of equally heroic Curebinders?  Bet you never thought of that!  Okay, I’m done.  Unless anyone has any other pressing matter or a pie, let’s get back to why Dirassi asked us here.

Amalee: Onward for the glory of nature.

Jade:  And the blessings of the Lady Mara.

Vilja:  Hear  hear!  So what are we talking about?

Dirassi: We have a problem in Riften.  Not just any problem but a problem with a capital P and that rhymes with Collywobbles.

Rumarin: Collywobbles?

Vilja:  You know, like Collywobbles.

Amalee:  You mean like the Collywobbles women sometimes get?

Jade:  Exactly like those Collywobbles but they don’t go away.

 

Talk to Dirassi

 

Dragonborn:  Tell us about these Collywobbles.

Dirassi: Oh, it is awful.  Most of the women in Riften have it.

Even Maven Black-Briar has it and she wants a cure to be found.

 

Dragonborn:  Tell us how this started.

2. Could you please tell us more about how this began?
3. Tell me more before we need to beat it out of you wench.

 

Dirassi:  We are not completely sure, but we believe it all began with Helga.  We think she might have caught it from Bolli, who picked it up somewhere down at the Riften Fishery.  Then it just seemed to spread to everyone.

 

Dragonborn: Have you sought out the shrine of Mara or Talos for a cure?

 

Dirassi:  Oh my yes! That is the first place we started seeking help, but the Lady Mara and the Great Talos were not listening.  Maybe they have the whitbane, or rockjoint.  I know that I do.  Even now I can feel a case of rattles coming on.  I’m sure I would have it too if the collywobbles were not keeping it away.

Jade: We prayed at the shrine of Mara for the longest time but it did not work.  Something was blocking our prayers.  The case of the collywobbles almost seems like a curse.

 

Vilja:  We need to do something about this for the women of Riften.

Amalee: Yes, for the women of Riften and the beauty of Dibella!

Jade: And the blessings of the Lady Mara.

 

Dirassi:  Will you help us Dragonborn?

 

Talk to Dirassi

Dragonborn:  Yes, we will help.

 

Quest begins:  A Cure for the Collywobbles

 

Vilja:  So now that we have the quest, where should we begin?

Rumarin:  Why not start at the Riften Fishery where this all began?

Amalee: Starting at the beginning can lead us to the beauty of nature. Onward and fish ward.  Left and right, it doesn’t matter.  We will find it all.

 

Objective 1 – Visit the fishery.  Fishery doors to open.  Objective arrow will point

to a trunk labeled Locker of Draugr Jones.  Inside there is a Journal and a purse of gold,

an ebony dagger and a flawless diamond, ruby, sapphire and emerald.

 

Enter the Fishery

 

Rumarin:  I don’t know about you, but my nose is detecting a hint of collywobbles.

Vilja: It smells like fish to me.

 

Objective 2 – Read the Journal

 

Journal – This be the last Will and Testament of I Draugr Jones, who being of questionable mind and judgment do hereby bequeath my property to the depths of Lake Honrich which I have sailed on for too many years.  If anyone finds me booty, then a curse be upon ye womin’ folk!

If anyone reads this and every finds my old friend Roawinn, tell her how much I missed her.  I wandered away from our home and could never find my way back.  I miss her so much.  I keep sailing on this lake but I never find her.  The folk in the village of Riverwood call her the Lake Illinalta Monster, but I know better.  She was my best truest friend.

Alternate:

This be th’ last Will ‘n Testament o’ I Draugr Jones, who bein’ o’ questionable mind ‘n judgment do hereby bequeath me property t’ th’ depths o’ Lake Honrich which I ‘ave sailed on fer too many years.  If anyone finds me booty, then a curse be upon yer strumpets!

If anyone reads this ‘n every finds me ole heartie Roawinn, tell her how much I missed her.  I wandered away from our galleon ‘n could ne’er find me way back.  I wench her so much.  I keep sailin’ on this lake but I ne’er find her.  Th’ folk in th’ village o’ Riverwood call her th’ Lake Illinalta Monster, but I know better.  She was me best truest heartie.

 

Vilja: Something makes me think that someone must have read this note and put it back in the trunk.

Rumarin:  Well that seems pretty clear.  We need to stay completely away from Lake Illinalta and Riverwood if there is a monster.

Vilja:  Don’t be silly Rumarin.  That is where we should look for the next clue.  Besides the note said she was friendly.

Rumarin:  Friendly with a Draugr maybe.

Amalee:  Maybe he was a Draugr like Moris the Draugr?

Vilja:  That is probably it.  A real Draugr wouldn’t be spending his time in a boat on the Lake.

Rumarin:  You might be right, but I say we keep the Dragonborn in front of us just to be safe.

Vilja:  What do you say Honey, should we go to Riverwood and ask around.

 

Talk to Vilja

Vilja:  What do you say Honey, should we go to Riverwood and ask around.

Dragonborn:  Okay, let’s have Dirassi stay here in Riften so there is no danger of spreading the Collywobbles and the rest of us will go to Riverwood.

Dirassi:  That’s fine.  I will stay here.  I wouldn’t want to also catch Brain Rot or double Ataxia going to Riverwood.

Jade:  I need to stay too for my duties at the Temple of Mara.

Rumarin:  Being a Priestess of Mara, could you give us a blessing to keep us from getting eaten by this Lake Illinalta Monster?  Not that I am superstitious or anything.  I just want to be safe.

Jade:  Hope I am better at this than marrying couples. Okay, here goes: May the blessing of Mara be upon you.

Rumarin: Is that it?  Are you sure I do not have to stand on one foot or eat a chicken or something?

Jade: That is it.

Rumarin: Well that spells relief, or perhaps it spells brevity or some other word I never use.

 

 

Objective 3 – Travel to Riverwood.

The Dragonborn, Vilja, Rumarin and Amalee travel to Riverwood.

 

Incidental scripted lines with Rumarin and Amalee may take place when traveling together.

 

The arrow marker points to Zora Fair-Child in Riverwood.

 

Talk to Zora

Dragonborn: Good to see you again Zora.  We are on a quest to find the Monster of Lake Illinalta

Dragonborn:  Have you ever heard of such a creature?

 

Zora:  Maybe,  my hero.  What do you want this creature for?

 

Dragonborn:  We believe the monster might know how to remove a curse that has afflicted the women of Riften with the collywobbles.

Zora:  Then say no more my hero, of course I will help you. But let me ask whether you intend to hurt this creature or not?

Dragonborn:  No, we are going there to ask for its help.

Zora: Then I will mark the location on your map and I will go with you.

ra

Rumarin:  Speak for yourself.  If a monster tries to attack us I will let you fight till I find someplace safe to help you.

Amalee:  All creatures are a part of nature.  We should appreciate nature unless it tries to kill us.

Vilja:  Then let us go.

Amalee: Onward and upward or maybe sideways if that is where we need to go.

Zora:  This will be fun.  Why don’t we spend the night at the Sleeping Giant Inn and start our pilgrimage in the morning.

Vilja:  That sounds good?  What do you think honey?

Talk to Vilja

Dragonborn:  Yes, that sounds fine. I was hoping we could stop and have a mead.

Vilja: Oh this will be fun.  There is nothing like a good drink when one is thirsty.

 

At the Sleeping Giant

 

Vilja:  Amalee, since you are a bard, why don’t we sing a song together?

Amalee: Great!  What shall we sing?  Do we have time for me to make up a song?

Vilja:  Why don’t we sing Mogo’s Mead?

Vilja and Amalee sing Mogo’s Mead.

 

I knew meself a maiden fair

With em’rald eyes and fire-red hair

She owned a tavern by the sea

And served warm drinks of mellow honey

 

Drink ye merry, drink ye thirsty

Bring thy crew n’revel freely

For on one thing we’re all agreed,

That Mogo made the finest mead

 

Mogo’s mead, Mogo’s mead

The only drink we’d e’er need

Take a flask and take a seat

And drink thyself a sweety-treat!

 

Vilja: I’m so thirsty.  Do you have anything I can drink?

Talk to Vilja:  Usual choices of Ale, Mead or Wine.

 

Vilja:  I know, why don’t we dance on the table?  I can show you how we do it in Solstheim.  Why don’t you join me, it’s fun.

 

Now here would be a fun occasion to have Amalee, Zora and Vilja all dancing, whether they could all fit on the bar top of the Sleeping Giant Inn or a combination of bar top and adjacent floor is up to you if this is indeed possible.  (BTW, Vilja won the table dancing competition in Solstheim three years in a row).  Amalee and Zora would use Vilja normal table dance movements. Vilja would sing her normal table top song.

 

Objective 4 – Spend the night in Riverwood.

Dragonborn rents a room and sleeps.

 

Objective 5 – Travel to Lake Illinalta

Good time for some incidental dialogue between the characters.

 

The group travels to the location Zora marked on the map. The Lady Stone Island. Roawinn the Dragon makes her first appearance in the game and on the island.

 

Zora:  It looks like something over on that Island.

Rumarin:  I’m not certain this is a good idea.  Does anyone know what time of day a Dragon eats?

Vilja:  We could go ask the monster.  I have a homemade meal I could give it.

Rumarin:  It might be better not to mention any food, at least not till we are back at an Inn.

Vilja: If you say so. Remember the journal said the dragon was friendly.

Rumarin: May I remind you that we do not know whether this monster knows anything about that crazy Draugr or knows anything about curing collywobbles.

Amalee:  Let’s go meet the monster and find out.

Vilja:  Should we go meet the monster now?

 

Objective 6 – Talk to the Lake Illinalta Monster

 

Talk to Vilja:

 

Dragonborn:  Yes, that is what we came here for.

2. We will not find a cure if we back out now.
3. Yes and save that homemade meal for later.

 

Zora: Just remember that we should not call it the Lake Illinalta Monster.  No one wants to be called a monster.

 

The Dragonborn leads the swimmers to the Island with the Lady Stone.

 

Dragonborn to the Dragon (Roawiin)

 

Dragonborn: Greetings.  We mean you no harm.

Dragon: Zu’u valokein Dovahkiin! That is good for I mean you no harm as well.  Pruzah grind.  I am Roawiin, Dragonborn.  It is good to finally meet you.

Would you do me the honor of greeting me with your Thu’um?

 

Dragonborn gives shout.

 

Dragon:  Thank you for honoring me with the Dovah tongue.

Dragonborn:  We have come seeking information.

Dragon:  And what is the information you seek?

Zora: We found an old locker with a journal from Draugr Jones.  He mentions you in the journal.

Dragon: Draugr Jones, now there is a name I have not head in a long time.  Jones was once a Prince of Windhelm before we met.  He became my lifelong friend and companion, living in a small village across the lake.  He would visit me every day.   When he grew old and was about to die, he asked if I could save him.  I told him I could but it would change him forever.  He begged me and so I turned him into a Draugr.  He could still think and talk and he lived with me on this island for a long time.  One day he wandered off and he never came back.  I searched for him, but never found him.  Krosis!  Grik los lein.

Rumarin:  He apparently spent all his time on Lake Honrich. The Journal said he was looking for you.

Dragon: Poor Jones.  He must have wandered away and something happened to make him disoriented.  He probably found Lake Honrich and thought it was his home.  Pruzah wundunne, Jones!

Vilja: He left the journal putting a curse on the women of Riften if anyone found it.  Now they have the collywobbles and not even praying at the shrines can help.

Dragon:  Jones mast have been distraught and disoriented if he left a curse. Probably the shrines cannot remove it because the curse is also disoriented.  I think I can break it, if you bring me a bottle of Alto Wine so that I can sing an enchantment into it.  But I will need something else as well.

Rumarin:  Oh, here we go.  One dead bandit chief, a black Nirnroot and Elswyre Fondue.

Dragon:  Why would I need those things, although some Elswyre Fondue does sound tasty.

 

Talk to Dragon:

Dragonborn:  1. What do you need?

2. What can we bring you that would help?

Dragon:  The honor of your Dovah greeting was sufficient from you Dovahkiin, but I would like each of your companions to sing me a song.  Songs that will inspire me to weave an enchantment cure into the bottle of Alto Wine.

Dragonborn: Where will we find such songs?

Dragon:  Ask your companions Dovahkiin.  Perhaps they know where they will find their songs.

 

Quest:  Finding the Songs (cue the quest sound)

Objective 1 – Talk to Companions

 

Rumarin: So it seems we need to find some songs.  I hope everyone can sing.

Vilja:  Yes, we need to find some songs.  You are so quiet my pumpkin, are you thinking?

 

Dragonborn to Vilja:

Dragonborn:  Do you have a song Vilja?

Vilja: Oh, I have several songs.  I even have a special one that I have been saving, but we could check with Wilbert at the Bard’s College and see if he has any songs we could use.

 

Dragonborn to Amalee

Dragonborn:  What about you Amalee?

Amalee:  I could always use that song I wrote for my cousin’s uncle’s birthday.  Hey, I know.  Why don’t we check and see if that bard at Dragonsbridge, who thinks he is Dibella’s gift to the world, might have a song?

 

Dragonborn to Zora

Dragonborn:  What about you Zora?  Do you have a song?

Zora:  Maybe.  The necromancers who usually captured me never really asked me to sing and the heroes who rescued me never stuck around long enough for me to sing.  Still, I think I know someone who might have the lyrics for a song that would be just right for me to sing.  I think we can find Anum-La in Morthal or near her favorite tree in the marsh.

 

Dragonborn to Rumarin

Dragonborn:  You must have a bunch of songs Rumarin if your parents were Troubadours.

Rumarin:  Oh, I know a few but I only sing them right after I have drunk  nearly a barrel of Honningbrew Mead.  Maybe I can think of one along the way.

 

Objective 2 – Find Anum-La near Morthal or Folgunthur

Objective 3 – Find Skjarn at Dragonsbridge

Objective 4 – Find Wilbert at the Bard’s College in Solitude

 

Upon meeting Anum-La

Anum-La: Well, if it isn’t my old friend the Dragonborn and his companions.  Greetings travelers.

 

Dragonborn to Anum-La

Dragonborn:  1. It is good to see you again Anum-La.

2. Greetings to you too my friend.
3. Still hanging around the marsh I see. Greetings.

Anum-La:  And what brings all of you here this fine day?

Dragonborn:  We need a song for a Dragon.  Best to let Zora explain this.

Anum-La:  Well girl, out with it.

 

Zora:  We are seeking to find a way to cure the women of Riften from the horrible collywobbles they have been cursed with by a Draugr.   There is a friendly dragon at Lake Illinalta who will help us make an enchanted cure if we each sing her a song.  That is why we were hoping you might have a song that I could sing to the dragon.

Anum-La: Zora, you lost me at the Draugr.  I must tell you that I am not a singer unless you want your ears to bleed.

Zora: But we have come all this way hoping you might know such a song that could inspire the dragon. Now we must look elsewhere.

Anum-La:  Hold on, I said I didn’t sing, not that I don’t know any songs.  I heard this girl in Solitude who wanted to be a bard.  Her name was Fironet.  She sang a song that I liked so much that I wrote it down on a scroll.  Here, you take it.

 

Anum-La hands the scroll to Zora

 

Vilja:  Thank you so much Anum-La.  Now we have to find songs for Amalee, Rumarin and me.

Anum-La: So long travelers till we meet again.  Good luck with that cure.

 

Vilja: So where should we go next?

Rumarin:  Seeing as how Dragonbridge is on the way to Solitude, how about we go there next unless you like traipsing aimlessly around Skyrim.  In that case how about doubling my salary, but since nobody is giving me a salary, how about doubling my allotment of strawberry pie.

Vilja:  I have a strawberry pie for you.

Rumarin:  Throw in a lockpick and that will work.

Amalee:  Then it is onward, upward and bridge ward.  To Dragonsbridge we will go. The beauty of Dibella, as well as Skjarn awaits.

 

At Dragon Bridge find Skjarn behind the Four Shields Tavern

 

Skjarn:  We’ve been over this.  You’ll just have to realize that I am a gift to the world.  Everybody wants me once they realize how truly amazing I am.  You, Gisli, Julienne Lylvieve, and every wench who passes through the tavern door.

Gleda the Goat:  Baaah, Skjarn.  I love you Skjarn. Baaah.

Skjarn:  At least with you I do not have to hide my beast side.

Gleda the Goat:  Baaah, beast Skjarn good. Baaah

 

Skjarn Looking at the travelers

Skjarn: We were in the middle of a personal conversation.  What do you want?

Vilja: Maybe we should come back later.

Rumarin:  Skjarn is always trying to romance someone.  There will always be something to interrupt.  At least this someone is as wooly as himself.

Amalee:  This is important Skjarn.  We are here to end the suffering of the women of Riften.   We are here to seek a cure for the collywobbles.

Skjarn:  What pray tell are collywobbles?

Rumarin:  That is what I am still asking myself.

Skjarn:  Look, I don’t want to know.  The women of Riften only need to look at me and anything wrong will simply melt away.

Zora: No, that won’t do at all.  The Dragon specifically said we need a song.  If we brought her Skjarn she might simply eat him.

Rumarin:  After she tasted Skjarn I doubt she would help us at all.

Skjarn: Joke all you want.  I’m not going to be part of any Dragon’s supper.

Vilja: That is why we need you to teach Amalee a song.  A song that might help inspire the Dragon to make an enchantment.

Skjarn:  No one can do a song justice like I can.  When I sing it is like a golden gift from Sovngarde.

Rumarin: If your head gets any bigger it will pop, which might be a worthwhile improvement.

Skjarn: Listen Elf, if you don’t watch it you and I are going to have a duel.

Rumarin:  No need to get upset.  Besides, I can always run faster.  I’m in the best shape of a Sload’s life.

Amalee:  Why not save your dueling for your Breton friend Edwayne?

Skjarn:  He is not my friend, but you are right.  Why waste time that could be spent on loving the ladies.

Gleda the Goat: Baaah, love you Skjarn, baaah.

Vilja:  That is sweet.  It reminds me of how Aerin loves Mjoll.

(To Dragonborn) Maybe you could talk to him and convince Skjarn to help us.

 

Dragonborn talks to Skjarn

 

Dragonborn:  1. How about you giving a song to Amalee

2. Please give Amalee a song to sing (Persuade).
3. Before Zora needs to get rough, how about giving Amalee a song to sing (Intimidate).

Skjarn: Alright. Alright.  Here is a song she can sing.

Skjarn hands scroll to Amalee

Amalee:  Thank you Skjarn.  Maybe you and Gleda could go check out the beauty of nature in Handsome Man’s Grotto.

Vilja: Maybe the two of you could play Rock, Paper, Skizzors while you are there.

Zora: Laughs

Gleda the Goat:  Baaah, love you Skjarn, Baaah.

Rumarin:  I couldn’t have said it better myself, except for that part about loving Skjarn.  I can’t think of anything more distasteful except possibly having to drink some Black-Briar Mead and eat some horker stew.  No, cross that out.  Skjarn would be worst.

Zora: Now that we have Amalee’s song, should we go to Solitude to find another song?

[Anna Castiglioni will be writing an inspirational song for this quest.]

 

Objective 4 – Find song from Wilbert in Solitude

 

Vilja: Now this will be fun.

 

Good time for incidental Vilja-INPC traveling dialogue

 

Arrive at the Bards College at Solitude

Wilbert:  Greetings it is always good to see you.

Vilja walks up to Wilbert

Vilja: It is good to see you too Wilbert.  We have come to ask you for a favor.  We need to find some suitable songs for Rumarin and myself to sing that will help inspire a Dragon.

Wilbert:  Well I have never written a song for a dragon.  What do dragons like?

Vilja: I suppose it should be something fun.  Something the dragon has not heard before.

Wilbert:  Well I do have a song I wrote after that first night when our ship arrived in Dawnstar.  I will be happy to give it to you, but it might be best if your friend here sings it, since it is about you.

Vilja:  A song about me?  Oh Wilbert, how sweet of you.

Wilbert:  I will give it to your friend.  (hands off to Rumarin).

Rumarin:  Thanks, I guess.  Luckily, reading music is easier to do than reading spell tomes.

Song from Wilbert for Rumarin sung to the tune of What do you do with a Drunken Sailor to be sung for the Dragon when he returns:

 

What do you do with a drunken Vilja?

What do you do with a drunken Vilja?

What do you do with a drunken Vilja?

Earl-eye in the morning!

[Chorus:]

Way hay and up she rises

Way hay and up she rises

Way hay and up she rises

Up onto the table

 

Watch her dance upon the table,

Watch her dance upon the table,

Watch her dance upon the table,

Just like they do in Solstheim!

 

Way hay and up she rises

Way hay and up she rises

Way hay and up she rises

Up onto the table.

 

Wilbert:  Vilja, since you are a member of the Bards College, don’t you think you should be able to write a song by yourself.  Surely you must have tried writing some already?

Vilja:  Well I do have one special song I was saving for a special someone, but since they will be there I will share that song.

Zora:  All good now.  We each have a song to sing except for my Thane who has already shouted a great big hero’s shout.  We need to return to Lake Illinalta and sing.

Vilja:  This will be better than when we return home all bloody and muddy and sweety to play a game of rock, paper, skizzors and some bandit attacks us.  Us.  I loved that blank look on your face when I said that Rumarin.

Rumarin:  You had me lost at sweety.

Amalee: Onward and upwards and lake wards then, for the beauty of nature and Dibella.

 

Objective 5 – Return to Lake Illinalta

Rumarin: I need to remember not to mention Elswyre Fondue, strawberry pie or any other type of pie.

Vilja:  Maybe you could mention Solstheim horkers.

Amalee: Or snowy sabre cats.

Zora: Or cave bears.

Rumarin: Oh my. Perhaps I will not mention anything edible.

 

At Ladystone Island

Dragonborn to Dragon

Dragonborn:

1. Greetings Roawiin, We have returned with all the songs.
2. Ready for some singing?
3. After a lot of walking we returned with the songs.

Dragon:  Drem yol lok Dovahkiin, Zu’u lost frolok amativ wah hin daal.  I have been looking forward to your return Dovahkiin.  Have you brought the bottle of Alto Wine?

Dragonborn:  Yes,  we have it right here,  Roawiin.

 

Vilja places the bottle on a tree stump.

 

Dragon: Pruzah. Vos mii ativut.  That is good.  Let us proceed.  Let the Joor, the mortals, sing.

Zora:  I will start the singing. Anum-La gave me this song from Fiornet of Solitude

Zora’s Song – Skyrim Come Spring.

Snow falls on all the land, all the land, all the land, snow falls on all the land, shrouded by dark wings.

A child prayed unto the Gods, save the land, save the land, and the Gods said unto the child, to Skyrim comes spring.

For a hero does walk the land, walk the land, walk the land, a hero does walk the land, and the dragons will flee.

Flowers bloom on the land, children walk hand in hand, sun shining on white sand, to Skyrim comes peace.

 

Dragon: Zok studen.  Thank you, Zora.  Give my thanks to Anum-La and Fironet for that excellent song.

 

Amalee:  I will be next. May the beauty of nature guide me.

Amalee’s song — Anna Castiglioni is going to write and include an original song of inspiration.

 

Rumarin:  Well, I hope everyone understands I am not normally a bard and I usually require a number of bottles of Honningbrew Mead before I will ever forget myself and start to sing.

Dragon: We will wait if you want to drink.

Rumarin: Since you put it like that, I suppose I could sing without them.

Rumarin’s song from Wilbur (to the tune of What Do You Do with a Drunken Sailor):

Everyone dances while Rumarin is singing.

 

What do you do with a drunken Vilja?

What do you do with a drunken Vilja?

What do you do with a drunken Vilja?

Earl-eye in the morning!

[Chorus:]

Way hay and up she rises

Way hay and up she rises

Way hay and up she rises

Up onto the table

 

Watch her dance upon the table,

Watch her dance upon the table,

Watch her dance upon the table,

Just like they do in Solstheim!

Way hay and up she rises

Way hay and up she rises

Way hay and up she rises

Up onto the table.

 

Dragon:  Zok studen, Rumarin.  Thank you for your song.  Vilja sounds like a Joor after my own heart.

 

Vilja: Thank you.  Having a good mug of something to drink and then dancing on the tables is a proud tradition of the Nords in Solstheim.  Now that I have spoken, I guess it is my turn to sing.  I was saving this song but now, now it seems like the perfect time to sing it.  I wrote this especially for the Dragonborn.

Vilja’s Song –  A Home in Whiterun (sung to the tune of A Home in the Meadows/Greensleeves)

 

Away, away, come away with me

Where the grass grows wild and the winds blow free

Away, away, come away with me

And I’ll build you a home in Whiterun

 

Come, come, there’s a wondrous land

For the hopeful heart and the willing hand

Come, come, there’s a wondrous land

Where I’ll build you a home in Whiterun

 

The stars, the stars, oh how bright they’ll shine

On a world Akatosh himself designed

The stars, the stars, oh how bright they’ll shine

On the home we will build in Whiterun

 

Come, come, there’s a wondrous land

For the hopeful heart and the willing hand

Come, come, there’s a wondrous land

Where I’ll build you a home in Whiterun.

 

Dragon: Lotaar, Vilja!  The beauty of that song and the others is worthy of an enchantments.  Thank you.

Dragon:  Dragonborn, you have done well to seek me out and bring me such a wonderful gift as these songs.  Nox hi, Dovakiin!  I shall be happy to breath the song of enchantment on the bottle.

 

Ronja Monto sings the song she is writing for the enchantment at this point

 

Dragon: Vokras faal Collywobbles!

Dragon: Take the bottle Dovahkiin.  The women of Riften need but take the smallest sip and they will be cured.

 

Dragonborn takes the bottle and speaks to the Dragon

Dragonborn:  Thank you, Roawinn. I am honored to have met you.

Dragon: The honor is mine to have met you Dovahkiin, as well as  Amalee, Rumarin and Vilja, and to have heard the joy of your song.  May you have a safe journey back to Riften.  By the way, it was a pleasure to see you again Zora.

Back on the road

Rumarin:  So you knew this dragon all along, Zora?

Zora: Yes, that is why I did not want my Thane to hurt it.

Vilja:    Thank you,  Zora for showing us that we should not pass judgment based on what we have heard.  I rather liked Roawiin.  I feel bad that we called her a monster.

Objective 7 – Return to Riften

 

Dragonborn to Dirassi

Dragonborn: Greetings Dirassi.   We have returned.

Dirassi: Not a minute too soon.  All the women now have the collywobbles. We are trying to carry on like normal, but pretty soon it will be too late. I just know that witbane, droops, rockjoint, ataxia and brain rot will be next.

Jade: It’s just awful. We wake up each morning feeling so collywobbly.  I hope you have good news.

Zora:  We have excellent news.

Amalee:  Better than excellent, we have news that would make Dibella smile.

Vilja: We have a cure.

Rumarin: We have traipsed all over Skyrim to find this cure, but that is what being a Curebinder is all about.  Traipsing and finding and we are good at both.

 

Dragonborn to Jade

Dragonborn: Everyone needs to take only a small drop of this liquid and they will be cured.  Can you make sure they all get a drop?

Jade:  I will do so Dragonborn.  From the docks to the ratway tunnels, everyone will get the cure.

Jade: We want to thank you Vilja, Zora, Amalee and Rumarin for helping bring this cure for the collywobbles to the women of Riften

Rumarin: Let’s not forget Wilbert.

Zora: Or Anum-La and Fironet.

Amalee: Or Skjarn and Gleda the Goat.

Vilja: and we very much need to remember Roawinn, the dragon of Lake Illinalta for the enchantment.

Zora: And my Thane for leading all of us.

Vilja: And yes, My Pumpkin for keeping us all together.

Jade: We want to thank all of you and Dirassi and I have a song to show our appreciation:

 

Jade and Dirassi singing:

For they are jolly good heroes, for they are jolly good heroes

For they are jolly good heroes (pause), and so say all of us

And so say all of us, and so say all of us

For they are jolly good heroes (pause), that no one can deny.

 

Rumarin: Well this has been fun, but if nobody needs me right now, I will be on my way back to Windhelm.

Amalee: It has been fun and I am so glad we helped the all the women in Riften, but if nobody needs me further I will be on my way to the Eldergleam Sanctuary, for the beauty of Dibella awaits.

Zora:  Well my Heroes, unless you need me I will be on my way to Riverwood.
