'This Jajax is a Corsair, and will betray you at the first opportunity, if he has not already! My scouts report that he has gone in the direction of Abadec's Watch, south-east of Dol Amroth, likely to meet with those of his fellows encamped there. They are a danger to Gondor, and always will be! I hope you know what you are doing. If the King believes this is the right course I will not speak against it.'0/1

'Well look who turned up, and just in time!
'I have learned what happened to Dax, my friend, and I was just about to go inside and rescue him... but now that you are here I see the blessing of happy chance is upon me! I have always been one of the lucky ones, Player; that is why I have lived so long!
'Now get in there, kill his captors, and keep my brother alive. We'll talk once you've done that... and not before.'0/1

'Player! Are you here to rescue me? Please say that is what brings you here, for otherwise I fear I might die bound to this post, and that would make my brother very displeased, I am sure of it!'
You tell Daxamat that Jajax waits for him outside Abadec's Watch, and untie him.
'Thank you for this! I will not forget it!'0/1

'I told you I was lucky, Player. All I had to do was wait, and you rescued my brother for me! How very fortunate. The stars truly smile upon Jajax... they always have, and they always will! Now what brought you in search of me?'
You tell Jajax that you are assembling a crew to sail to Umbar to rescue the kidnapped heir of Pinnath Gelin from the Kindred of the Coins, and you want him to join you. When you have finished, Jajax laughs, but his laughter is free of mirth.
'Why would I do this? What could you possibly offer to me that would make it worth my while to return to Umbar while it is under the control of the Kindred? I told you what happened when Dax and I returned there! No. My answer is no. You will sail to Umbar without us.'0/1

'Wait.'
Daxamat stares off into the distance, as if gathering his courage.
'I will join you, Player, if you will have me. I fear the Kindred of the Coins, but I fear the Heirs of Castamir more, and they still have supporters throughout these lands; the Corsairs here in Abadec's Watch belong to that number. They imprisoned me as a traitor to the Heirs, and would do so again if given the chance.
'My brother says he is the lucky one, but I think in recent days I have had the best fortune in our family, for your path brought you here to rescue me. I cannot be certain you will be near the next time, unless I go with you on your ship. Count me among your crew, Player.'0/1

'So that is the way of it, Dax?'
Jajax scowls at you.
'My brother has always been one who follows, Player. First he served Balakhôr the Scourge as a deckhand on the Night-jewel, and then he served Azgarzôr his brother until we slew him, and only then! Always Dax needs someone to tell him what to do! Well, I am different.'
The Corsair's scowl deepens.
'Jajax is a captain, not a crew-member! He gives the commands! He is the one who leads!'
Jajax shakes his head at his brother and gives you a curt wave with one hand.
'This is where we part ways, Player. I will find a crew and a ship of my own. May my brother serve you better than he served the Heirs of Castamir! Without me to keep him in line, I believe your ship will be doomed. A pity, that! A pity! Farewell.'0/1
