"You are being difficult. You've only yourself to blame if we are forced to discorporate you permanently."
Dremora are not as strong as other enemies, but can prove dangerous in the early going. They will often cast three or four spells at the start of combat, but it is possible to avoid these by hiding behind something (such as another enemy) or quickly closing the gap into melee range. Their melee attacks are also fairly strong, so you may wish to use ranged attacks instead of engaging in close combat. Dremora are somewhat intelligent; it is possible to speak with them, but they will likely attack you.
Your pardon, Syndic. So this is the original form, then? No point maintaining the Mariel form any more, I suppose... though it was not an unpleasing form, was it, heh, heh?

You presume upon my genial disposition. Perhaps that is not wise. Perhaps you would leave me in peace.
Kaid. We know who you are, so spare us the cunning conceits.
You are bold to present yourself thus, Kaid. I presume you have something you'd like to say?

Don't get huffy. It's not my fault if you've been played for fools. Now. Do you want to listen? If you'd rather have extreme violence, that's fine, too.
This is not about Josian Kaid. This is about you, my friend. You can go away, or I can send you away. Far away, into silent darkness, enduring pain, and withering despair.
No more tricks, Master Trenelle. Cute, but tiresome.

Splendid. I have the pleasure to inform you that you are to be captured, not destroyed, and in keeping with this objective, I guarantee you your life, on my sacred oath of honor to the Great Powers, if you drop your weapons and shed your armor, and give yourself into my custody.

Please forgive me, but I must decline your gracious offer. I have a previous commitment which obliges me to refuse your hospitality.

Don't trouble yourself on my account. And accept my apologies in advance if I should inadvertently cast your spirit into Everlasting Darkness through the intemperate violence of my mighty blows.
I'm afraid we're not interested in anything you have to say, Kaid. But if you have not yet spoken with Dremora Tanchelm, do so, please. That is all I have to say.
To me it is no matter if you are the Emperor of Illimitable Splendor. Your presence is requested in the library. That said, I have followed my orders, and may return to the sport of chastising you.

Well. I hope I am proving a diverting challenge for you.
Nice speech, kid. But let me give you a hint. If Clan Dremora has a fault, it is the fault of pride. Perhaps threats may daunt other daedric clans, but they only inspire Dremora to greater risks and dares.

Thank you. Then perhaps we should prefer the more proper challenge? Your health, or mine, my lord?

That is intriguing. What does a mere mortal have to say to a Dremora?
Player Response

I've had a chat or two with some of your oathbrothers, and I get the distinct impression that, despite your threats and assaults, you plan to preserve my skin for some schemes of your own.
Well, we don't all get what we want, do we? Perhaps I know something. But nothing I'm willing to share with you. At present. Now. Is there something else on your mind?
Player Response

I'm more interested in what's on your mind. Because I can't match my actions to your interests without a clearer idea of what you're trying to do.
Hmmm. You are clever, for a mortal. And you have backbone. Perhaps we can make use of you.

I'm fed up with these pokes at my mere mortal nature. Let's see how an immortal with a careless tongue proves his honor in the court of war.
END MONSTERATTACK
Oh, yes, sir, indeed. Most pleased I am to be your tool. Your willing servant. Lap dog. You don't have lap dogs, do you? Well, you know what I'm saying here. Say the word, and I'm your faithful little manling.
To do that one would travel beyond the gates of this land, thru the Chimera of Desolation, thru the Havok Wellhead, and finally to Dagon's personal pleasure palace.
Only Jaciel Morgen, the immortal Nocturnal Lieutenant, can send you through the great locks that separate this realm from the next. But she has somehow hidden herself within the Shade Perilous. The great Daedra Lord, Mehrunes Dagon, was persuaded that this realm would be an essential waystation toward the conquest of Battlespire, and sanctioned our passage. But he did not sanction the overthrow and occupation of this realm.
Understand. Dagon's Oathkin and Proteges, Faydra Shardai and Xivilai Moath, crushed this realm where they should have simply obtained passage by negotiation, or with limited force. These spawn of Dagon became -- overzealous in carrying out Dagon's orders. The dark temptations of this Nocturnal land proved far too appealing to them, and they overthrew the Shade Perilous while their Oathfather was occupied with weightier matters.
Player Response
Result
Okay. So you think Dagon will be none too pleased by what has happened here? And you Dremora are trying to distance yourself from Faydra Shardai and Xivilai Moath and their retainers, just in case the wrath of Dagon might fall upon them.
Yes. Faydra unleashed her Fire Daedra and Xivilai's unchained his Frost Daedra, granting them free rein to lay waste to this precious corner of the Nocturnal realm. They relished the chance to revenge themselves on their ancient enemies, the Nocturnals.
Player Response
Result
Well, you can't embark on a campaign of conquest without ruffling a few feathers.
Quite true, but they have gone too far, and must be chastened. Now that Battlespire is ours, we no longer need to hold this land. But many Daedra minions of Faydra and Xivilai decided that this land was now their domain, and remained here instead of continuing to the next step on the invasion route. They must be expunged and good order restored -- in order to redress the balance.
One who would free your friend must gain the secret of passage from Shade Perilous to the Chimera of Desolation through the fugitive, the Nocturnal Lieutenant, Jaciel Morgen. But I have said too much. No one must know of our discussion. I will deny all knowledge of our colloquy. Now be off. Count yourself luckiest among all mortals that we have deemed you useful to our purpose. For had our goals not come into alignment, the last wisps of steam would now be rising from your lacerated lungs.

Thank you ever so much for the information, But excuse me if I take offense at your boorish threats, and insist on proving my honor upon your body with cold steel and hot sorcery. On guard!
END MONSTERATTACK
I thank your lordship for such kindness. But tell me, who do you serve? Who is the prime mover behind your schemes? Surely not Lord Dagon himself?
