Detailed Walkthrough

Carnius Magius

Carnius will tell you that the crazy Nord you through out of Raven Rock earlier, Hroldar the Strange, is actually one of his men. Carnius needs you and Hroldar to intercept a report from Falco. You are to meet Hroldar in the courtyard of the Fort, follow him and then go and deliver the messenger to Hroldar. It is important that the messenger never reach the Fort alive though it must not be obvious that he was killed for the report. Instead, Hroldar will sic some Wolves on him to look like an accident.

Meet With Hroldar

Hroldar is in the center of the Fort's courtyard in front of the well. Speak to him and he'll start off towards the West...follow him. He'll lead you a little way out of town and then tell you to go and fetch the messanger.

Finding the Messenger

Finding the messanger seems to be a little more difficult, however, as you are not given a clear indication where he might be found. The obvious guess would be to check around Raven Rock for anyone around who might know something or for people leaving the colony in the direction of the Fort. Fortunately, it won't take long as you'll find one Tirvel Balen on the East end of the colony who will readily confess to having to deliver a report. In fact, he will actually ask if you'd help escort him to the Fort...agree of course.

Eliminating the Report

Once you are escorting Tirvel make your way back to Hroldar. As soon as Tirvel gets near the two Black Wolves near Hroldar will attack the messenger (and you if you get too close). Wait until the messenger dies and then talk to Hroldar who will give you a letter and some scrolls. Read the letter to learn that Carnius wants you to kill Hroldar for him. You can use the scrolls or not, but get rid of the Nord in any way you can.

Back to Carnius

Return to Carnius to report the 'good' news about the death of the messenger and Hroldar. Carnius will reward you with 1000 gold.
