Quest-Related Events

You'll find Gadinas with Mel Adrys inside the cave's entrance. The vampire is on his knees, begging for his life. If you address him before speaking to Mel, he'll say:

"No more. Please. I'm not like them!"

You'll need to talk to him after speaking with Adrys.

"You must have mercy! The Dark Elf won't listen, but you will, won't you?
We were different! I didn't want this!"

What do you mean?

"Kept to ourselves. Didn't prey on the living! The beasts, the hoarvor glutted themselves on the blood of hunters. We fed on them. We didn't kill anyone. It was a natural way. Until he came."

He?

"The veiled one. Altmer, I think. Sought an alliance. Promised power. Told us we didn't need to hide anymore.
Others in my clan agreed. He taught them a ritual using an ancient vampire's skull. Said it would allow them to make countless thralls."

Tell me how to put a stop to this magic.

"The skull rests in the back of this cavern. Its curse seeps into the mists all around us. Destroy the skull and the magic goes with it.
I never wanted this. Spare me and I can bring others to my side. We can be of use to you!"

Was Faenir among those that accepted the veiled one's offer?

"Yes, he was the loudest of the supporters along with Athraedal and Lathriel. I saw them speaking with the veiled one often. They'd never listen to me. You'll have to go through them if you want to reach the skull.
Now please, just let me go."

If you speak to him again before making your decision:

"Reason with this mad Dunmer! You'll have to kill some of the clan, but there are those of us who only want to coexist alongside the living without harm. Wouldn't it be better to have us as allies to call upon?"

If you convince Mel Adrys to spare him:

Mel Adrys: "Run along, little worm. A brief reprieve only. I'll find you and your kin."

Gadinas: "Oh, thank you. The rest who opposed Faenir have already escaped."

<Gadinas flees>

Mel Adrys: "Filth."

If not, Mel slays him immediately.
