Sickly Bernice in her Taphouse

Sickly Bernice is a hypochondriac Breton living in Crucible, New Sheoth. She owns Sickly Bernice's Taphouse. As her name suggests, she has taken ill (or so she thinks) and requests that you find a cure for her.

At different stages in the Main Quest, Bernice will share different rumors with other NPCs:

• Someone different come to the Isles? Don't like to think what kind of diseases came along.
• The Gatekeeper has died. Wonder what got him. Collywobbles? Greenspore?
• The Resonator is active once again? Perhaps it will draw the disease from my body.
• How can Thadon drink from that Chalice? Who knows what germs are on it?
• I heard something strange happened in the House of Dementia. Probably disease-related.
• The Great Torch burns once more. Perhaps there's hope for all. Except me. Can't shake this cold....
• Syl is gone, and a new ruler presides over the House of Dementia. Perhaps they can cure my malady.
• Thadon has passed the mantle. I heard he was in bad health, anyway, and I know how that is.
• Order has attacked Passwall. Probably brought horrible disease with them, as well.
• A new Gatekeeper protects the Fringe. But he does nothing to stop the spread of disease.
• The Daedric armies are whole again. If only I could live to see them in battle. The chills are getting worse, though.
• Sheogorath gone, and me not far behind. I think this cold will finally be the death of me.
• Order is defeated! I think I actually feel a little better. No... I don't.

[edit] Notes

• Sickly Bernice is actually very healthy: she is marked as essential and therefore will never die, whether or not you complete the related quest. As a result, her gravestone in the New Sheoth Graveyard (stating "This time, she was right.") will never be seen in game.

• People who talk about her inn in Bliss will say "I wouldn't be caught dead at Sicky Bernice's, Though I imagine her customers might."
