Detailed Walkthrough

Falco or Carnius

Speak to Falco/Carnius about your next assignment to be told about the recent attacks by Spriggans, apparently concentrated on the East of town near a cluster of trees. Falco/Carnius wants you to investigate and clear up the matter and report back to Unel Lloran in the bar.

Spriggans

The directions Falco/Carnius gave you for the Spriggans are quite misleading as the four Spriggans you have to kill are all actually inside the town. Two are lying on the ground at the back of a building just SouthEast or so from Falco (the second one appeared the first time I killed the first one). Another Spriggan can be found among the new construction on the East end of town. The last one can be found at the back of the round building beside the tavern. Kill all the four Spriggans three times each until you can loot their corpses. There will be a journal entry when you are finished (but see the bug note below).

Quest Bug

There is a possible quest bug if you kill the Spriggans in the wrong order. The quest is setup to spawn Spriggan #1 (East of town) on the start of the quest. Once #1 is killed once #2 is spawned (SouthEast of Falco). Once #2 is killed once, #3 (North of bar) and #4 (beside #2) are both spawned. The quest can only continue if you kill #4 three times after the other three have been killed three times. Unfortunately, the way it works out is that #3 will be killed last, thus causing a problem in the quest where you cannot advance further (Unel will not speak to you).

To fix this, enter the following console command once you've killed all 4 Spriggans:

Journal, CO_10, 30

This should allow you to continue further in the quest.

Unel Lloran

Once the four Spriggans are taken care of, you can visit Unel in the bar (he'll dismiss you if you talk to him before the four are dead). He'll say that although you've taken care of the Spriggans, the trees still cannot be cut down, mumbling something or other about finding the roots. He suggests checking around in the mine to see if you can find the roots or anything else down there.

The Mine

Speak to anyone in the mine about roots to learn that, indeed, they encountered some nasty roots in the mine off of the Northern passage. Explore the mine until you find a door to the Abandoned Mine Shaft. Enter and shortly inside you'll receive a journal entry telling you to inform Unel about what you've found.

Return to Unel

When you return to tell Unel of what you found about the roots, he'll want you to escort him down to the mine to see for himself. Once you've escorted him to the roots, an uneventful trip, he'll ask you to get him five Bittergreen Petals in order to poison the water with. He also mentions that the petals are unlikely to be found on Solstheim (which appears to be true). The quickest root might be to cast a Mark spell them Almsivi over to Gnisis. Just inside the Temple you'll find Zanmulk who sells an infinite supply of Bittergreen Petals.

Once you have the 5 Petals return and give them to Unel. He will thank you and tell you go and visit Falco to tell him the news.

Return to Falco/Carnius

Return to Falco/Carnius with the news about the roots and receive a gold reward (2000 if with Falco and 1000 if with Carnius).
