Rising to Retainer

While asking around Vos looking for someone wanting to sell land.

"If you need food or drink, this one can summon a server. otherwise, Zashanti has a floor to sweep."

I'm trying to find someone interested in selling land near Vos.

"Zashanti sweeps the floor. After that, she peels mushrooms. After that, she scrubs dishes and stacks chairs—then, if she is truly fortunate, she gets a few hours rest before the sun rises again.
I am sorry, but this one has no time for gossip."

Objections and Obstacles

Approach her location near Shashpilamat, and she'll call out:

Zashanti: "Who are you? What do you want?"

Speak to her and she'll say:

"You stink of incense and hookah smoke. Did that beast Gothren send you?"

Something like that. His servant sent me here to gather up Gothren's stolen goods.

"We are not goods! Zashanti and her friends prepare to leave this cursed island. No more lashings. No more bitter food. Only the light of the moons drifting across the Topal Sea.
We only took Gothren's belongings to pay the smugglers."

I won't keep you from escaping. I just need the tome, the gold, and the amulet.

"Bright moons. This one thanks you, walker.
We stored Gothren's trinkets in crates nearby. The smugglers will groan at their absence, but we would rather face the wilds alone than go back to Tel Aruhn."

(If you are Khajiit) I won't keep a fellow Khajiit in bondage. I just need the tome, the amulet, and the gold.

"The moons are kind. I knew you would not betray a fellow child of Jone and Jode.
We stored Gothren's trinkets in crates nearby. The smugglers will groan at their absence, but we would rather face the wilds alone than go back to Tel Aruhn."

I'll tell Gothren I couldn't find you. Good luck.

Before you can leave, the following scene will play:

Zashanti: "Wait. What was that noise?"

Captain Giravel: "Greetings, Outlander. Sedura Ralasa sends her regards. Gathering up these slaves on our own would have been exhausting."

Zashanti: "No, no, no."

Captain Giravel: "Damned cats. You lot are going back to Tel Aruhn. Move out!"

Telvanni Guard: "You heard the captain. Get moving, cur!"

Darsho: "No! Darsho will not go!"

Darsho: "Darsho is … free at last."
