Family Reunion

Enter the fortress and Veya will run ahead. Suddenly you'll hear:

Vatola Telem: "Who's there? We won't let you take us without a fight! Wait—Veya, is that you?"

Veya Releth: "Thank the Three, you're all still alive!"

"I'm not sure what you and Veya are doing here, but let us out. Then we can return Veya to her father. Councilor Eris has been terribly worried since she disappeared."

First, we want to know what happened to Ulran.

"This isn't the time or the place to have that discussion.
Get the key to this cage and then we can find a private place to talk."

Any idea where I can find the key to your cage?

"One of the cultists carries the key. I don't think he's too far away. We hear him patrolling around every so often.
Free us and I'll tell you whatever you want to know. You have my word as a Redoran and as an officer."

Go to find the key and Veya will stay behind:

Veya Releth: "You find the key. Me and Vatola, we're going to have a little chat while we're waiting."

Vatola Telem: "Veya, I'm just trying to protect you …."

Veya Releth: "From what? The truth? Oh, please! I want to know who did this to my brother."

Talking to him again: "I've never seen that look on Veya's face before. Get the key and let us out, please. You don't know what those crazed cultists are capable of!"

Deal with Curate Skaliz and you'll hear from elsewhere in the fort:

Vatola Telem: "Veya, wait! You can't leave us like this!"

After you recover the key and return to the cells, Vatola Telem will say:

"I knew I shouldn't have told Veya the truth. I just made everything worse. Please, let us out of here. We have to stop Veya before she does something she'll regret."

Where's Veya? Tell me what happened.

"I told her what she wanted to hear. I was with Captain Ulran the day everything happened. I was commanded to lure the Ashlanders to town and set up a situation for Ulran to deal with."

What kind of situation?

"My orders were to invite the Ashlanders to Balmora to trade, send some local toughs to instigate a commotion, and then get Ulran to investigate. It was just supposed to be a loyalty test. Who expected Ulran to kill his own soldier to save a savage?"

You said you were following orders? Who gave these orders?

"Captain Brivan, though he was still a lieutenant at the time. As soon as I explained all this to Veya, her face turned dark and she stormed out of here. I think she's going to Balmora to kill him! You need to let me out so I can warn the captain!"

Here's the key, but I want you to stay out of this. I'll deal with Veya. [Vatola goes free]

"Thank you. Now get to Balmora and stop Veya before she does something she'll regret."

You led Ulran into a trap and sent Veya off in a foul temper. I'm just going to leave you here. [Keep Vatola trapped]

"How dare you! When House Redoran hears about this, you're going to regret your actions!"
