"Defeat me, and I taste bitter Oblivion... but I WILL return. For you, there is no return from death. Is this affair worth such risks?"
Perthan Vorn is a notably stronger spider daedra found in Level 2a: Caitiff. The player may learn that he serves Wonshala Keriayn, found later on in Level 2b. Most of his dialogue leads to combat. A fight is inevitable, as he holds a Meht Sigil of Entry.
I admit... I like what I see, and your proposal is appealing... but what assurance can you give of my safety if I make myself more... accessible to you?
[Female] That's a difficult question. But I can't abandon a friend. Please... tell me where Josian Kaid is, and I swear you'll have no further trouble from me.
[Male] That's a difficult question. But I can't abandon a friend. Please... tell me where Vatasha Trenelle is, and I swear you'll have no further trouble from me.
I am a great fool, I concede, and terrified of death. Buth [sic], then again, at least I serve whom I choose, and am no creature's slave.

[Metats Name] I know my risk, though I thank you for your concern. I am curious, though. What do YOU fear? Why do you serve Methats? Have you no pride?
