Third-Tier Quests

Cheydinhal: The Fugitives

If you speak to Burz in Cheydinhal, he'll tell you of a prison break in Bravil, where a group of fugitives is preying on the local populace. It's up to you to find the convicts and put them down for good: a little hard justice, Cyrodiil style.

Head down to Bravil and ask around about the fugitives. Most of the locals will be hesitant to talk about the matter with an outsider, so you'll probably need to either bribe or Speechcraft your way until your Disposition with one of them is above 60, then ask again. Doing so will net you the info you seek: there are four fugitives, and they're probably hiding out in Bloodmayne Cave.

After checking out the cave, you'll discover that there are indeed four fugitives inside. They've spread themselves out throughout the cave, though, so you'll be able to take them on one by one. For the most part, they'll be fairly easy to beat, although Enrion (the unarmored one) can cast plenty of spells, so you may want to hit him with a Silence poison or something similar before fighting him.

Beyond that, though, this is a straight-up slaughter. There shouldn't be any other creatures in the caves besides the odd Rat, so take all of the fugitives down before returning to Burz to turn the quest in.

Anvil: The Wandering Scholar

Azzan will give you a contract to track down and protect Elante of Alinor, a scholar who's interested in studying Daedric Shrines. She's holed up in Brittlerock Cave north of Anvil, so head on up and see what she needs.

Now, as you might imagine, the cave with the Daedric Shrine in it is going to have a lot of Daedra running around. If you're worried about keeping Elante alive, your best bet is to run ahead of her after reaching the cave and start taking down the enemies on your own. As in most escort missions, she'll stop moving after you get a bit ahead of her, so take advantage of that to move into the cave and take out any monsters that are in your path. Note that there are two levels of the cave, but that Elante will only need to reach the shrine on the first level. She doesn't go down to the second level, so if you don't want to explore, don't bother.

Trolls...why'd it have to be trolls?

When you've cleared out the entire level, return for Elante and walk her down to the shrine. She'll repay the favor by giving you a book that bumps your Blade skill upwards by one point. You can then return to Azzan to receive your gold reward.

Chorrol: Trolls of Forsaken Mine

When you reach Modryn again, he'll give you a sensitive quest: Viranus was sent to the Forsaken Mine to clear it out of trolls, and hasn't checked back in yet. You're to go there, and find out what happened to Viranus.

Before you set out for the mine, nab a fire damage weapon from your stash, if need be; trolls are primarily weak to fire. With that accomplished, warp to Leyawiin; the Forsaken Mine is located just south of there. A cursory examination of the opening areas will reveal the depths to which things sunk. The corpses of Fighters Guild members litter the caves, along with a solitary corpse of a Blackwood Company member. Hmmm....

You'll find Viranus in the Lost Passages section of the mine...or his body, at any rate. Gather the Bloody Journal from it as proof of what transpired, then exit the mine and bring it to Modryn. And that's the end of the quest!
