Dialogue

First seen in Nebo Terrace

"Nothing to see here, move along. I'm not up to anything. Just minding my own business, I am. Just a private citizen, that's me. I can certainly assure you I'm not thinking about stealing any clothing. And if I was, the last thing I would steal would be socks. That's just ridiculous. Good Wintersday to you."

After approaching Villager Gessel during A Very Grentchie Wintersday

"Mercenaries! You'll never catch me! I am a leaf on the wind! I, Dreier Dane, the infamous clothing bandit of lore and song, cannot be captured! I know why the caged moa sings!"

When he is cornered

"Curses, you've left me no place to run! Perhaps it is time that I, Dreier Dane, the infamous clothing bandit of lore and song, reconsider my choice of occupation!"

During collection of the socks

"Do not blame me, blame society! I grovel before you, a lowly, mangy dog. My wife, she is sick; my thirteen children, limbless and afflicted with the dreaded whooping vapors. My cat, she has kittens, and... not buying it, are you? Look, can I talk to you thief to mercenary for a moment? All that I have will be yours if you leave me be. Of course, all I have are these unwashed socks, but free me, and they are yours! Gloriously filthy socks they are, blights on the stocking industry, but perhaps they might be of use to you. Socks are rare in these lands, and these are... okay, please, I'll shut up, just don't hurt me. Pain makes me break out in cuts, bruise, and open wounds. I'm terribly allergic to it."

Notes

• The area of Nebo Terrace you chase him through is normally well populated with monsters. During this chase, the path he follows is unusually empty of them.
• If you lose sight of him, just head northwest, partway towards the portal to the Cursed Lands, as shown in the location picture.
• After you collect the socks from him, both he and Villager Gessel disappear from their locations right outside Bergen Hot Springs.

Trivia

• His dialogue includes a reference to the film Serenity.
