How high Speech do you have to have to Persuade him to talk about what happened to Thorald Gray-Mane?

Still haven't completed that quest chain yet.

Spoiler

If it is at the beginning of the quest chain and you need proof of what happened to Thorald then what I did was sneak into the battle-born house and steal a book/note explaining what happened. I don't think I had to talk to the battle-borns to find out.

Be warned though; if you kill the woman inside (that was right infront of the note I needed) then her husband will send hired thugs to kill you.

Yeah, I know there is another way do do it but I would like to hear it from Idolaf Battle-Born to se if you get some more info on what happened.

Or is the line where he only say that Thorald was on the wrong side of the war and got killed and that it was all he had to say, the Persuaded one?

Um; save before and try everything imho. I am not sure if there is a required speech level, if there is it is probably a bit low because it is in the "starter" town. Dunno though; good luck.

I finaly found it out for myself. I had to get 55 in Speech plus the Pursuasion perk to make him talk. But it was worth it. I found out that

Spoiler

Battle-Born hade nothing to do with Thorald Gray-Mane being gone and that his former bestfriend Idolaf Battle-Born had been worried about him and looked in to it just to find out that the Thalmor hade him so he told everybody he was dead because the true fate was far worst.

It was a really nice twist, I think.

I love Idolaf, when I started a killing spree in Whiterun he whacked out his claymore and started swinging at the only child in the city. Quality.
