During the quest Under Siege, Heloise Menoit asks you to check up on the Hinault family, as she has not seen them for some time. You discover the Hinaults taking shelter in their home, and when you knock on the door Gennove answers. Gennove refuses to open the door unless you obtain weapons for his family to defend themselves.

"Go away! We don't want any trouble."

We're here to help. Are you all right in there?

"Are we all right? Soldiers have invaded our farm and you're asking if we're all right?
What is this? Some kind of trick so you can take our house, too?"

I'm here with the Shornhelm Guard. I can get you to a safer place.

Gennove requests a two-handed sword for himself, two one-handed swords for Melita and Jowan respectively, a bow for Marrec, and a pair of daggers for Mayla.

"And I should just believe you and open this door? I don't think so.
If you really want to help, bring me weapons to arm my family with. Once we can properly defend ourselves, I'll happily open this door."

All right. I'll get you some weapons.

"Not just any weapons, you hear me? I need a two-handed sword. And one-handed swords for my wife and oldest son. My youngest son needs a bow. And my daughter, she insists on having a pair of daggers.
Bring the weapons back here when you have them."

If you knock again, he will still not open the door until you bring the weapons:

"Who's that? You again? I told you. I'm not risking my family until we have a way to defend ourselves. Bring me those weapons and I'll open the door."

While you are away, the Hinault farm is attacked by a bloodfiend. Upon returning to the farmhouse you discover that Gennove has been killed, and the rest of his family has fled. Heloise then asks you to burn Gennove's body to prevent possible regeneration as a bloodfiend, before going to look for his missing family. Jowan and Mayla are found safe, however both Marrec and Melita are discovered to have succumbed to the bloodfiends, and you have no choice but to kill them and burn their remains.

After dealing with the bloodfiend threat, Jowan Hinault asks you to attend the funeral for the fallen Hinault family members. This begins the quest Dearly Departed. During the funeral, Jowan asks you to bury the ashes. After the giving the eulogy Jowan rewards you with Gennove's Blade before departing with his sister.
