Watchful and Understanding Molto,

Wretched, nasty, foul puzzle does not register the weight of a lofty and ambitious Banekin such as myself! Terrible design, narrow in its view of curious explorers!

As such, I beseech thee! While it is customary for mortal aides to partner with one or a handful of Daedric Thousand Eyes, I wish for more! More mortals for Firfaal!

My current aid, the meek and meager Tlishee, refuses to cut off her tail to use as a weight! Do Argonian tails not grow back? I am certain they do! Pah!

By my estimate, I will need six mortal aides as I expect half will die on their way to me. Tlishee and the survivors should be plenty of help in solving this puzzle.

With haste, Molto! Haste I say!

Yours humbly,
Empiricist Firfaal
as transcribed by his mortal aide Tlishee
