Quest accept

Taoshi says: You keep them off me and I will get SI:7 here out of his cage.

Taoshi

We must get Shaw out of this cage.

Fighting

Taoshi says: Here they come!

The rogue adventurer deals with the first wave.

Master Mathias Shaw says says: Get me out of here so that I can help.

Taoshi says: You'll get your chance soon enough, Mathias.

A second wave appears and meets the same fate as the first. Meanwhile Taoshi picklocks one of the fel locks.

Taoshi says: One down, one to go.

A lone felguard appears, but is no match for the rogue adventurer either.

Vaultwarden Umbra yells: Enough! I will deal with you myself.

Vaultwarden Umbra yells: My chains will shackle you.

Vaultwarden Umbra says: ... I have failed you my lord, Detheroc...

Master Mathias Shaw says: What's wrong, Taoshi?

Taoshi says: I can't pick the lock. It is up to you, <name>.

Mathias Shaw freed

Mathias walks out of the cage.

Master Mathias Shaw says: Thank you.

Taoshi says: I will get Mathias to safety through the sewer tunnels.

Taoshi says: We will see you back in the Chamber of Shadows, <name>.
