Stage 5

I honestly don’t even know anymore. I encountered Gavan Dakrih once more, this time in the waters deep below Manaan’s surface. As expected, he was lost once again. I question this man’s ability to even take basic care of himself.

How this stage is set:

• Dialogue INFO 9231114051226815506 under topic Greeting 5; speaker Gavan Dakrih (ManaanGavan). locations: Manaan, Ignatious' Reef. conditions: Function/TalkedToPc Equal 0; Journal SW_GavanQuest3 Less 5. response: “What on earth… It’s you! What are you doing out here?! Oh, this must be fate itself! I had never believed in it before but this just proves it! How are you doing? It’s been a while, yes? I’ve been up and down myself… Right now, I’m trying to get my bearings… I’m a little lost.”.

Stage 10

I’m not exactly certain why, but I decided to help Gavan once more against my better judgement. He needs to get to Ahto City. He hasn’t promised me anything, but if our last two encounters are anything to go by, I may get something out of this.

I hope one day I can repay you…. Alright. Let’s go. I need to get to Ahto City. When we get to Ahto City, I’ll speak with you again.”.

Stage 20 — Finished

After bringing Gavan back to Ahto City, he thanked me profusely before proclaiming that he’s giving up the life of a hunter. He said he doesn’t know what he’ll do, but he finally realizes that he can’t take care of himself. As a token of his thanks, he increased my credit account and gave me a spear from one of the Liphos that he had claimed to have killed. For his sake, he better not go around boasting about that….

Ahto City. Amazing. You truly are something, my friend.Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I wish I was half the adventurer you are… And that makes me believe that being a hunter isn’t the life for me. I’m gonna stop this nonsense starting now… but I’m not sure what else to do. I’ll figure it out, I suppose. Here. As thanks. Some credits. Oh, and this spear I got from one of those freaky Liphos. It was a daring fight, but I got the better of that fishthing. See you around!”.

QA console reference

Current journal state can be inspected with the OpenMW/Morrowind journal tooling for SW_GavanQuest3. Manually forcing journal indices is useful for diagnosis, but does not substitute for testing the scripts/dialogue that normally cause the transition.
