Talking to Olaf

If The Fremennik Trials has not been completed

  • Olaf Hradson: Get lost, outlander! I've no time for you!
  • (End of dialogue)

If The Fremennik Trials has been completed

  • Olaf Hradson: Who is that? Identify yourself!
  • Player: It's me, [player name]. What are you doing out here?
  • Olaf Hradson: Nothing... Just carving these horribly broken pieces of driftwood.
  • Olaf Hradson: In the middle of nowhere.
  • Olaf Hradson: In damp clothing.
  • Player: Okay...
  • Player: Well, have a nice day.
  • Olaf Hradson: Wait! Would you do me a favour?
  • Player: What kind of a favour?
  • Olaf Hradson: Look, you see that heap of driftwood over there? That is my ship, and all that is left of my one shot at making my ancestors proud of me.
  • Olaf Hradson: My family have always been great explorers and seafarers, and I recently set off on my maiden voyage.
  • Olaf Hradson: However, a big storm - yes, a huge storm in fact - blew my ship onto the rocks. Three times.
  • Olaf Hradson: I've been sitting here ever since, trying to think of a way to make my family proud, and if you will help me...I think I have a way.
  • Start Olaf's Quest?
  • Yes.
    • Player: Okay, I'll help you out.
    • Olaf Hradson: Thank you! I don't have much apart from my carvings, some driftwood and the map that I was following when I had my little...
    • Olaf Hradson: ...accident.
    • Olaf Hradson: If you help me out, then I'll gladly hand it over.
    • Player: So, what is your plan?
    • Olaf Hradson: Well, I have a little food left, although it's a little briny.
    • Olaf Hradson: If you take a couple of carvings to my wife and son in the village over the hill and tell them that I sent you with them from a distant island, then I can wait out here for a week or so before returning.
    • Player: Alright, hand me over the carvings and I'll be on my way.
    • Olaf Hradson: Well, none of these are any good. I'll need some fresh wood from a decent tree.
    • Olaf Hradson: When I was swimming for my life I saw an odd-looking windswept tree to the east of here, up that cliff.
    • Olaf Hradson: Could you bring me some of that wood so I can work it?
    • Player: Wow, you must have pretty good eyes to be able to see a single tree from the water during a heavy storm.
    • Olaf Hradson: Yes...great eyes...they run in the family.
    • (End of dialogue)
  • No.
    • Player: Possibly later, when you don't smell so damp.
    • Olaf Hradson: Bah! Well, if you aren't going to help, do me a favour and jump off that cliff!
    • (End of dialogue)

Talking to Olaf again without the windswept logs

  • Olaf Hradson: So... Got the logs for me yet?
  • Player: Not yet. I just popped back to see how you were doing.
  • Olaf Hradson: Still cold. Still damp. 'Bout average, really.
  • (End of dialogue)

Talking to Olaf with the windswept logs

  • Player: Olaf, I cut some logs from the tree. Here's the wood.
  • Olaf Hradson: Wonderful! I'll carve them up now.
  • Olaf carves furiously.
  • Olaf Hradson: Done!
  • Player: That's it?
  • Olaf Hradson: Yep!
  • Olaf Hradson: This is for my wife, Ingrid. I'm sure she will love it. Tell her it's tribal or something.
  • Player: Sure...
  • Olaf Hradson: And this one is for my son, Volf. Kids love planks in my experience. Tell him I said hello.
  • Player: Alright. They live in Rellekka, right?
  • Olaf Hradson: Yes. Hurry back! And don't forget the story: I'm not here, I'm someplace far away.
  • (End of dialogue)

Delivering the presents

Talking to Olaf again

  • Olaf Hradson: So, how did my wife like her carving?
  • If Ingrid's present has not been delivered yet:
    • Player: I don't know... I've still got it.
    • Olaf Hradson: Well, hurry up and give it to her then!
  • If Ingrid's present has been delivered:
    • Player: She was very happy with it!
    • Olaf Hradson: Wonderful!
    • Olaf Hradson: I wish i[sic] could see her again...
    • Player: Well, if this plan works out you will be able too, right?
    • Olaf Hradson: Yes, you're right.
  • If Ingrid's present has not been delivered yet:
    • Olaf Hradson: Did my son like his present? I'll bet he was thrilled.
    • Player: I'll bet he will be... but I've still got it.
    • Olaf Hradson: Well, take your time over it, why don't you.
    • (End of dialogue)
  • If Volf's present has been delivered:

    • (End of dialogue)

Ingrid's present

  • Player: Excuse me, but are you Ingrid? The same Ingrid that is married to Olaf Hradson?
  • Ingrid Hradson: Yes I am. Why do you ask?
  • Player: I am a friend of your husband. He sent me here with a gift for you.
  • Player: An expensive, exotic gift from the far-flung and tropical shores of the Island of Obscurity.
  • Ingrid Hradson: How wonderful! I assumed from the way the big oaf always referred to the rigging as 'big strings' that he couldn't navigate his way out of a soggy paper bag. So, can I see the gift he sent?
  • Player: Certainly! Here it is. He sends his best wishes along with it.
  • Ingrid Hradson: I see. It looks like a log with 'Olaf was here' carved in it.
  • Player: It's tribal! Very tribal! I watched the natives carve it myself.
  • (Player receives Bread.)
  • Ingrid Hradson: Well, since you have come such a long way, you can have this. I baked it this morning, so it's still nice and fresh.
  • Player: Oh, thank you! Enjoy your Obscurian Tribal Artefact(tm). It has a million-and-one uses!
  • (End of dialogue)

Talking to Ingrid again

  • Ingrid Hradson: Hello again! Have you any word from my husband?
  • Player: Err, no, not yet. It takes a while for the messages to reach me, you know.
  • Ingrid Hradson: Well, when you do, tell him we'll be more than happy to see him again.
  • (End of dialogue)

Volf's present

  • Player: Volf? Son of Olaf Hradson?
  • Volf Olafson: Yes. Do I know you?
  • Player: No, but I do know your father. He sent me with a present for you from, err...
  • Player: From the Island of Obscurity.
  • Volf Olafson: Oh! That was fast! He only set off recently, and I was wondering how he was doing. So, where is this gift?
  • Player: Right here. Enjoy!
  • Volf Olafson: What is it?
  • Player: Very valuable. Have a nice time!
  • (Player receives Shark.)
  • Volf Olafson: Wait! Here, take this. I was going to have it for my lunch, but I suppose you can have it in payment.
  • Player: Thanks! Enjoy your new...thing!
  • (End of dialogue)

Talking to Volf again

  • Volf Olafson: Hello again! Does my father send any word...or treasures like before?
  • Player: Not today, but if he does, you will be the first to know.
  • (End of dialogue)

Talking to Olaf after the presents have been delivered

  • Player: Olaf, are you all right?
  • Olaf Hradson: So...cold...need...fire.
  • Player: I delivered your carvings as you asked. Your family would like to see you again.
  • Player: Here, let me get you to the village before you freeze to death.
  • Olaf Hradson: I won't...go...anywhere. I don't...care if I...freeze.
  • Olaf Hradson: I'd rather...die...than suffer...the shame.
  • Olaf Hradson: Just get the...fire burning. Use...these.
  • (Player receives damp planks.)
  • Player: Well, at least give me the map like you promised!
  • Olaf Hradson: Too...cold...to...hear...whining.
  • (End of dialogue)

Talking to Olaf again if the fire has not lighten up

  • Olaf Hradson: So...very...cold. Almost cold enough to tear up an old map with my fevered shivering. Cough, cough.
  • (End of dialogue)

Lighting up the fire

  • You managed to get the fire going!
  • (End of dialogue)

Talking to Olaf afterwards

  • Olaf Hradson: Ahhhhhhhh... Much better.
  • Player: Well, I'm glad you're happy. Can I have that map now?
  • Olaf Hradson: Well, okay...but could I have a little of that food first? I've had nothing but seaweed and biscuits for the past week.
  • Alright, here, have some food. Now give me the map.
    • (Transcript missing. edit)
  • Not a chance.
    • Player: Not a chance.
    • Olaf Hradson: Okay, okay, I was only asking.
    • Olaf Hradson: Well, regardless, you've more than earned this map. It was the last one my grandfather, Sven the Helmsman, ever made.
    • Olaf Hradson: It is supposed to show the location of one of his stashes of treasure, but I have never been able to decipher the strange, runic inscriptions that point the way.
    • Olaf Hradson: I wish you luck!
    • Player: Well, thanks. What will you do now?
    • Olaf Hradson: I'll sit here and practice carving.
    • Olaf Hradson: If you pass this way again, I'll be glad if you drop my next load of work off with my family.
    • Olaf Hradson: That or bring me some food before I starve. Whichever.
    • Olaf hands you the map.
    • (End of dialogue)

Talking to Olaf again after getting Sven's last map

  • Olaf Hradson: Hey! I'm trying to carve and you're standing in my light! Move it!
  • (End of dialogue)

Reclaiming back the map if lost

  • Player: Olaf, I seem to have lost your map, can I have another?
  • Olaf Hradson: You lost the treasured map of Sven the Helmsman? How dare you!
  • (Player receives Sven's last map.)
  • Olaf Hradson: You'd best take better care of this one, or else!
  • (End of dialogue)

Entering the Brine Rat Cavern

When digging beside the Windswept tree

  • You dig a hole...
  • ...and fall into a dark and slimy pit!

Attempting to open the picture wall

  • This 'wall' has some disks set into it showing a picture and some levers. I should try pulling the levers to see what happens.
  • (End of dialogue)

Opening the picture wall

  • Something in the wall goes 'clink'.

Opening the chest inside the shipwreck

  • You open the chest and the vengeful spirit of a fremennik captain appears!

After Ulfric has been defeated

  • You find a note in the chest...
  • ...and a huge heap of treasure!
  • Congratulations! Quest complete!
