Hides-His-Foot

Hides-His-Foot is an Argonian slave who can be found on Dren Plantation. Ilmeni Dren will ask you to free this slave and guide him safely to Sterdecan's Farmhouse.

His only possessions are the common pants and slave's right bracer he wears. Like all Argonians, he is immune to poison, has a resistance to disease, and can breathe underwater; otherwise he knows no spells.

After he arrives at Sterdecan's Farmhouse, he'll tell you about an incriminating note hidden in a locked room in Dren's cellar. The room is well guarded, but you'll have to take those guards out at one point or another in a variety of other quests.

Quest-Related Events

Free Hides-His-Foot

If you try to free him before the quest, he'll refuse by saying:

• "Yes, %PCRace? What can I do for you?"
• go free
  • "Go free? No, I am old and could not make it on my own."

Once you have accepted this quest from Ilmeni Dren, you can start your attempt to free Hides-His-Foot from the Dren Plantation:

• "Ilmeni sent you? Shall we travel together?"
• go free
  • "Are you here to set me free? Should we travel together?"
• travel together
  • "Shall I follow you now?"
  • Follow me.
    • "I will follow you. I must get to Sterdecan's Farm."
  • Wait here.
    • "I will stay here until you tell me it is safe to go on."

While he is acting as your follower, he can tell you which way to go to help you escort him to his destination:

• travel together
  • "Do you want me to wait here?"
• Sterdecan's Farm
  • "Sterdecan's Farm is north and east along the road from Dren Plantation. I think we are southwest of the farm."

Even though this response will likely never been seen during actual gameplay, he also has an additional line of dialogue which is the response that he would give if you are neither northeast nor northwest nor southeast nor southwest from the farmhouse:

• Sterdecan's Farm
  • "I am lost, %PCName. I do not know how to get to the farm."

Finally, when you have taken Hides-His-Foot to Sterdecan's Farmhouse, he has the following things to say:

• "Thank you for my freedom, %PCRace. I know a little secret about Orvas Dren you might find useful."
• little secret
  • "I delivered a message to his assassins, Ranes and Navil Ienith. The message was a plot to kill his brother, Duke Vedam Dren. This message is in the basement of Dren's Villa, behind two locked and trapped doors, in a small chest on a bookshelf. If you ever need to influence Orvan Dren, this book would be ideal."
• go free
  • "Yes, I am free now."
• travel together
  • "Perhaps, but not today. I must travel with Sterdecan until he passes me on to another. If all goes well, I will see my homeland again."
• Twin Lamps
  • "I thank you, %PCRace. You have truly led me to freedom."
