"Alright fine." They say lowering their arms.

"...Good", Anaya said simply, accompanying them. "...I had a feeling the rumors about you being new Dwarven Automatons were too simple to be true", she said, wondering if they were from the same world as Black Widow, following them along.

You head deeper into the ruins were you see several more armored beings, as well as other people working on Automatons, and some other strand machine... You are taken before a man in the same armor as the others... but no Helmet revealing a head of grey hair, and piercing blue eyes.
"I am head Paladin Josiah... Welcome to the Brotherhood of Steel... We come from a world that experienced an Apocalypse... Through an experiment with a dimensional portal, and ended up in these ruins... We have been settling the area since, but we are short on food and supplies."
(OOC: Completed Investigate the Dwarven Ruins.)
"We cannot leave the ruins for safety concerns... But we would be willing to trade with you specifically... If you bring us the needed supplies. We can make it worth your time and effort."

"I am head Paladin Josiah... Welcome to the Brotherhood of Steel... We come from a world that experienced an Apocalypse... Through an experiment with a dimensional portal, and ended up in these ruins... We have been settling the area since, but we are short on food and supplies."
Anaya listened with interest, nodding at the man's words.
"Intriguing. My name is Anaya Rosethorne, and this is my dear wife, Serana... I'm a lot of things, to be honest, but to make this short, I'm sort of a heroine to this general region. I'm also not exactly human, but let's not get too much ahead of ourselves just yet. You are not the first offworlders I have encountered recently", she said with a playful smirk.
"We cannot leave the ruins for safety concerns... But we would be willing to trade with you specifically... If you bring us the needed supplies. We can make it worth your time and effort."
Anaya folded her arms.
"I am interested... but I have to ask. Why are you willing to deal with me in particular? What made you hold your fire in the first place?"

"To be honest desperation." He said. "We've been down here for days trying to get the portal back to our world running, and our provisions have hit a critical low. If you can bring us back at least 150 lbs of food, we are more than willing to make it worth your while. As you can see we have a fair bit of technology that is advanced by the standards of this world. While we can't trade anything of... significant firepower yet... I am prepared to offer you this as incentive."
he pulls out a long wooden weapon with a steel tube. "This is the Martini-Henry .577 rifle very primitive by the standards of our world, but ages above anything you might have." he said showing you how to load, safely carry, aim, and fire the weapon... and here are some bullets for it." He said handing you two boxes. "Just remember it only takes .577 ammo, so if you find other guns, and other bullets don't load the wrong one in the wrong gun... the results can be dangerous."
(OOC: Quest updated: Bring 150 lbs of food to Head Paladin Josiah... Received Martini-Henry .577 rifle (+4 2x damage, range 4 single shot), and 41 rounds of .577 ammo.

Committing all this new information to memory, Anaya nodded gratefully as she accepted the weapon and bullets.
"I will remember. Thanks. And yes... I will help you. I actually already have some food on me, from which I can part easily... and I can probably buy most of what you need in the city close to those ruins, and hunt for the rest if some is missing. Here... take what I have on me, at least", she said, handing them some food. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Using my Photographic Memory to commit to memory all I learned about that gun and its uses.
Then, handing them over all the food I might have picked up and carry - which I don't need much for neither Serana nor myself, being vampires who can feed on blood anyway and all - and using the Carry Gear shout to get more if necessary; 6 stones (Ef.) in Dragon Shout (Carry gear) to do so.
Also, 5 stones into Intelligence to figure out how much more I need to give them after this.

You give them about 35 lbs of food in the form of various apples meats, and a few pasties.

"Well now... we shall take our leave, and seek out the rest. We will return as soon as possible with all you requested. Unless there was something else we needed to know before we left?" the Dragonborn asked.

"Yes... If you find any writings or research on the technology of these ruins we should greatly appreciate them."

"Hm. I'll keep an eye out for those too", Anaya said with limited confidence she'd find plenty of that anywhere close. She had plenty of books on the Dwemmer back at Volkihar castle, but the best she could hope for in Markarth was any local books, and there as no way those would equal her own collection. Still, who knew. Maybe they'd get lucky. "Come on, Serana, my dear... let's head back to town to buy food."

"Of course dear." She said following you out of the ruins as you get...
another gem in your shoes.

"Ow! Ow ow ow..." Anaya let out, hopping somewhat comically on one leg as she removed the gem. "W-Why does it always have to be the shoes? ...My poor feet...", she said, looking at the gemstone in question. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5 stones into Intelligence to see what sort of gemstone it is.

It was a flawless emerald.

"Oh, nice. I like emeralds... also, this should cover nicely for our food expenses for these gentlemen", Anaya noted, as she resumed walking along with her dear wife towards the city.

You arrive inside the city of Markarth no problem.
