Detailed Walkthrough

On completion of the quest, Wellness Check, speak again to Nalvs Andolin for further duties. He will ask that you seek out Ravur Othravel, a temple novice, and ensure that she has not spent too much money on restocking the bare Temple kitchens.

"I sent her to the western docks to procure supplies for the Temple kitchen. I had heard that there was an opportunity for a good bargain with one of the fishermen, you see. Our stores are almost empty, and we have not got a lot of money to spare. Seemed too good to pass up, and Ravur didn't have anything better to do. But she's not been back for a while now. Go find her. And while you're at it, make sure she doesn't spend money we don't have."

Ask around about the topic Ravur Othravel on the western side of the city, and you will quickly be directed to Vonos Arendas, who is standing at the end of a wooden pier on the western docks. He has indeed spoken to Ravur, but refuses to tell you where she went unless you purchase his 10 gold crate of 'mystery meat', supposedly found floating in the seawater. Doing so, or raising his disposition to 90+, will get him to open up - Ravur has in fact gone to the east side of Andothren to seek better quality supplies. She can be found outside of Gavros Falos' store, and will ask for your help in negotiating a deal for better quality food. You can handle this in two ways.

Rat-atouille for days

If you bought the crate of rat meat, you can say so, and she will reluctantly agree to return to the Temple. In this case, return to Nalvs to complete the quest - if you speak to Ravur on your way past, she will ask that you speak to her afterwards. Nalvs meanwhile will reimburse your 10 gold, completing the quest.

Free-range Guar for everyone

If you agree to help Ravur negotiate, speak to Gavros. He will offer high quality food for two years, for the lump sum of 2,000 gold. You can bring this down to 1,500 gold simply by noting "That price is outrageous."

You can then further reduce the price to a minimum of 500, by utilising both the Haggle and Sway options. Each are tests. Sway relies on a combination of personality, luck, speechcraft and fatigue to succeed, and you will have a better chance to succeed at the test if Gavros is at a high disposition. Haggle relies on a combination of personality, luck, mercantile and fatigue to succeed. Again, high disposition improves your chances here.

You will also of course have to have the gold on you to actually make the purchase, no matter the price you ultimately settle at. Speak to Ravur Othravel following your purchase, and then return to Nalvs at the temple. Regardless of how low you haggled the price, he will be deeply disappointed, and will refuse to reimburse you.

Notes

• If spoken to after quest completion, Ravur will be eager to question you about the events of Wellness Check, and whether ultimately your course of action was 'right'.
• You can speak to the kitchen staff later in the Temple questline, who will reward you with a small amount of gold and Hlaalu Company Scrip if you obtained decent supplies for them.
• If the quest The Missing Merchant was started, Gavros Falas will be gone from his station. Ravur Othravel will mention that she is waiting for the merchant, but buying rat meat will be only option to finish this quest.
