A Khajiit skooma dealer

Skooma Dealers are randomly encountered merchants. There is a 20% chance they will appear as a male Argonian, Bosmer, Khajiit, or Orc, and a 20% chance they will appear as a female Orc. When you encounter them, their display name will be their race.

The dealer wears a roughspun tunic, along with leveled heavy boots and leveled heavy gauntlets (both up to Daedric in quality). They always carry six bottles of skooma, three samples of moon sugar, two bottles of sleeping tree sap, and at least twenty gold. In a fight, they will consume the bottles of Sleeping Tree Sap to stay alive.

DialogueEdit

If you approach the dealer they will say:

"Greetings, brother/sister. You look weary. I have something to help you relax, if you're interested." (if they are an Argonian, Bosmer or Orc)
"This one has something sweet for the fellow traveler, if it entices." (if they are a Khajiit)

If you ask them to elaborate, they will explain:

What are you talking about?
"The finest skooma, the sweetest moon sugar. At a fair price, of course."

You can also try to intimidate them. If you are successful, they will hand you the skooma; otherwise, they will turn hostile.

Just give me what you have and we both walk away from this. (Intimidate)
"No need to get so... hostile. Just take it. Sounds like you need it more than I do." (Passed)
"Yeah... That's not going to happen." (Failed)

Similarly, questioning the legality of their actions also results in turning them hostile:

This doesn't seem legal.
"Ah, a snitch, eh? Can't have you running to any guards now, can I?"

If you remain civil and just say no, they will be diplomatic in response and you can leave without angering them:

No Thanks [sic]
"Each has their own way."

If you bought any items from them, when you leave they may say, "Nice doing business with you, friend."

NotesEdit

  • Skooma dealers are members of the warrior class, which determines the level of their skills.
  • They may mine ore veins if found nearby.
  • You can yield to a hostile skooma dealer by sheathing your weapons. After this, trading with them is still possible, but not asking what they are talking about, so you cannot provoke them to attack you again.
  • If you kill a Skooma Dealer after you buy goods from them, you will not find the money you spent in their inventory. It doesn't seem to be available to be pickpocketed back, either.
