Quest-Related Events

Near the entrance, you'll find a nervous Nord hiding in one of the alcoves. When you approach him:

"If I survive this, I swear I'll never drink again!"

He got separated from his friends during a dare and he fears for the safety of his friends:

"Ysmir's beard, it's good to see a friendly face! I never thought I'd find my way out of here."

You're not that far from the exit.

"I got separated from my friends. We were drinking at the festival. I guess you could say we overdid it. Then Jofarr dared me and Nivene to explore those old catacombs.
It was a lark. We didn't expect to find undead right here beneath the city!"

I'll help you find your friends.

"I'd be very grateful. Jofarr's so drunk he ran off after a draugr. Thought it was a girl he knew. I hope he didn't try to kiss it."

Let's go.

If you speak to him again, he'll only say:

"I need another drink. Let's find my friends and get out of this accursed place."

If you started the quest through his friends and find him:

"Ysmir's beard, it's good to see a friendly face! I never thought I'd find my way out of here."

Come with us, Borald. We'll get you to safety.

"Safety sounds good. Is there mead?"

If he's the last one to be found:

"Rescue, at last!"

Ready to get out of here?

"You have no idea. I hope to never see another dead thing for as long as I live."

Find Jofarr and convince him to follow the two of you to Nivene. Nivene is by far the most level headed and sober one of the group and she'll tell you she can lead the boys out from there.

Nivene Orthil: "I should think you've gotten quite enough of running blindly into draugr-filled caves. Let's get out of here."

Borald: "Oh, yes please. Let's do get out of here."

Jofarr: "But, I wanted to punch a draugr!"

Nivene Orthil: "Jofarr, outside is where they keep the mead."

Jofarr: "An excellent point. Let's be off, then!"

Nivene Orthil: "Well, that was easy. Come on, Borald."

Borald: "At last!"

As you leave the crypts, you'll find Borald back in his original starting spot:

"Thanks for getting us out of those crypts. I think I'll do my drinking right here from now on. It's sufficiently Draugr-free."
