Taking the quest
DahiggYou've gotta be kidding me... They tack a note to the door and vanish? Should've just thrown us into hell itself.
- YouI'll help.
DahiggOh? Then go on over and snap that pirate captain's neck for me.
- You... Will that be enough?
DahiggW-Wait, you're actually going? I was just spewing nonsense... (cough) I won't stop you...but I won't be any help if you get hurt.
- YouOkay, thanks.
DahiggHah...in any case, if you manage to wipe out those pirates, that's all the better.

MondeHow many times do I have to tell you!? That's not how you pick grapes, you fool!
- YouSo... I just need to check on the wagon?
MondeSee to that wagon, then I've a more important task for you. Go have a word with their leader. At least convince him to leave my vineyard alone.
- YouSince when do pirates negotiate?
MondeAhem, money'll win over anyone. Except a downright fool. Give them an offer they can't refuse. If you succeed, that offer's yours.
- YouAlright.
MondeHead southwest from here to the pirate hideout. I'm a busy man, so get on with it! Don't go dying on me, either.
Finishing the quest
- JecoI'm Jeco, ringleader of this circus. What brings you here?
- YouI'm here about the vineyard.
- JecoThe vineyard? Give the owner my thanks. The wine and bread were exquisite. Cart should be here by now. What will be today...more wine?
- YouI'm here to negotiate about that.
- JecoNegotiate? With that ol' coot? About what?
- YouI'll pay you to leave the vineyard alone.
- JecoMoney? Hah, now you're talking. This world runs on booze...women...and gold! That said, I've my own conditions. Run this errand for me and I'll consider your offer.
- YouAlright, speak.
- JecoYou're blunt. I like that. The Dark Blades stragglers around here have a map I need. Kill them, spare them, do whatever you want. But that map is mine.
- YouAt least tell me where they are.
- JecoFine, I'll mark it for you. As a pioneer, you should have a better grasp of the land than we pirates.
- Another version
- JecoAye, so you want me to stop messing with the vineyard? Hand over what you owe and we have a deal.
- YouStill not thinking straight?
- JecoFine, fine! Good. While our ship's under repair, we'll stay away from the vineyard. Gotta report to the captain, so I'll be away.
- YouAlright.
- JecoRight... We saw a cave on the coast nearby. Heard you pioneers love waltzing in uninvited to the wildest places. Take this. It's a rough map to the cave.
- YouOkay.
- JecoNow get lost. Let's hope our paths don't cross again.
