Approaching ThunderEdit

Thane Unnvald can be found on his throne in the main hall. If you have already spoken with Sergeant Sjarakki, he will say the following:

"Who are you, then? Another spy from the Jarls? Eh? Sent to put a knife in me, I'll wager. Well? Speak, dog!"
Wuuthrad has been shattered. I'm looking for its shards.
"Ha! You think me a fool, child? Ysgramor's axe is safe in Fallowstone Hall."
It's been taken, Thane.
"Even if that yarn were truth, what makes you think I have such a thing? Eh? Planning to blame me and slit my throat?"
I'm only interested in the shards
"Fair are your words. And fair you may be. But I see Jarls in the shadows behind you. It's not enough they exiled me here. Swept me under the rug. Now they plot to make me disappear! Dark Elf fanciers. All of them."

If you ignored Sergeant Sjarakki, he will instead say something different.

"Who are you, then? Another spy from the Jarls? Eh? Sent to put a knife in me, I'll wager. Well? Speak, dog!"
I'm looking for shards of Wuuthrad. Ysgramor's axe has been shattered.
"Shattered? Wuuthrad? What is this nonsense? You think to decieve me with wild tales?
I know why you're really here. The Jarls sent you to spy on me. Either that, or you're in league with the risen dead!"
The risen dead?
"My fortress is besieged. Or haven't you noticed. No doubt a plot of the Dark Elves. The dead won't take me. The Elves won't break me. Take that news back to your Jarls!"
If dead are here, the Worm Cult may be too. Let me help.

No matter how you accept the quest, Housecarl Thorulf comes in after you finish the conversation.

The Thunder BreaksEdit

If you talk to him before raising the banners, he will comment on your presence.

"The nightmare begins again. You should have left sooner. Now you're trapped here with us, to the bitter end."

If you help Thane Unnvald instead of running after Thorulf, you must speak with him.

"Stay back. I know what I have to do."
What's the torch for?
"Hah! I won't let a damn necromancer use me! I'll burn. Just like my daughter, all those years ago. I will not be raised!"
There's no need to do this.
"Liar! Thorulf warned me you'd say such things. My soldiers are dead, my fort lost. I won't let you raise me as a puppet of your dark magic!"
Thorulf's the necromancer, not me. We have evidence. Ask Hallfrida.
"What? No! Thorulf has been my Housecarl for - I would have known! Just a few weeks ago, he gave me a token of his faith."
A token?
"See for yourself! Part of a weapon. Said it came over with Ysgramor. Had been in his family for generations. No faithless Nord would give such a boon."
This is a shard of Wuuthrad. It's what I came here for!
"My mind ... everything seems so much clearer now. It had some sort of hold on me. Shor's bones.
What was I thinking? What have I done?"
Thorulf did something to the shard. He used it to muddle your mind.
"Right. He's mine to deal with, and I will. As for you, you saved my hall. I owe you.
I want you to keep Bonebane, use it as I did. My adventuring days are over. As for this cursed shard, Hallfrida will keep it safe until you need it again."

If you finish speaking without accepting the reward, when you speak to him next he will pick up where you left off.

"You said the undead were taken care of. And Thorulf? Where's that bastard?"
He escaped. I let him go to save you.
"Right. He's mine to deal with, and I will. As for you, you saved my hall. I owe you.
I want you to keep Bonebane, use it as I did. My adventuring days are over. As for this cursed shard, Hallfrida will keep it safe until you need it again."

Speaking to him after the quest:

"We'll hunt Thorulf. You live with a man for a decade, he gives up some secrets. I know places to look for him.
If we find him, I'll contact you. I can't think of a better mate to have at my side for that fight."

If you choose to run after Thorulf instead, Thane Unnvald kills himself in his panic.
