Before you turn to leave, you quietly ask Rothog why he is helping you. The half-troll stares impassively down at you and says nothing.0/1

'We have our own tasks to complete, stranger, and have no time to speak with such as you.'
You apologize for interrupting, and ask if they could use any help with their task. The servant stares at you suspiciously.
'Why?' she asks.0/1
4 Speak toWater-bearer Ushu (Show dialog)
'Forgive Enât her distrust, stranger, but we have reason to be wary. Our master is very particular about the means by which we carry out his commands. We bring sea-water through the city to the fountains inside Sûr Birix, the Citadel of Winds, every morning, and every night those fountains are emptied to await our return the next morning. It is hard, heavy work, and there are fewer of us now than there used to be. Azagath has dismissed some of our fellows before now, but... no one seems to know where Sadûkh has gone.'
Enât hisses at Ushu to not say anything more, and the woman nods.
'He may be fine, and he may not. But without Sadûkh our work will be more difficult. Azagath smiles with his mouth, but his eyes are unmoved, and if we do not find some way to replace Sadûkh's burden we may be the next ones to disappear.
'Prove to me you can carry this bowl of sea-water without spilling a single drop, and perhaps you can accompany us into the Citadel. Bring it to the courtyard of the Teeming Net Tavern, to the south-east, and we will see if you are steady enough to join us.'0/1

6 Speak toWater-bearer Ushu (Show dialog)
'You did well-enough, stranger. You may accompany us when next we perform our duties, and I will ask no questions of you. Your reasons for wanting to gain access to Sûr Birix are your own, but you must endanger none of my friends. If such treachery seems possible, I will alert the guards at once.
'Let this last warning guide your steps. Neither Enât nor I know what happened to Sadûkh, but of this I am certain: he saw something he was not supposed to see, some secret of the Sea-shadow, and now he has paid for it.
'Azagath is dangerous. We water-bearers may be beneath his notice... but it may not be possible to always remain so.'0/1
