[edit] Detailed Walkthrough

[edit] 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 Raven Rock 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.

One of the four Spriggans

[edit] 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 from Falco. Another spriggan can be found among the new construction on the East end of town. The last one is located 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).

[edit] 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.

[edit] 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.

[edit] 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 route might be to cast a Mark spell then Almsivi over to Gnisis. Just inside the Temple you'll find Zanmulk Sammalamus 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.

[edit] 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).

[edit] Bugs

If you have trouble with the Spriggans not spawning on the east edge of the colony, you can enter the following commands in the console (hit ~) to spawn the four Spriggans.

placeatpc "BM_spriggan_co1" 1,1,1
placeatpc "BM_spriggan_co2" 1,1,1
placeatpc "BM_spriggan_co3" 1,1,1
placeatpc "BM_spriggan_co4" 1,1,1

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 it is far more likely #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. Or to avoid the bug completely, when you meet your third Spriggan, open up the console (PC only) and click on it - if the ID shown at the top is BM_spriggan_co4, make sure you save that one for last, and look around for BM_spriggan_co3 instead.

[edit] Quest Stages

These Codes can be used along with the Journal Console Command and Quest ID given above the chart(s) to update the quest to a certain point.

CO_10
Index	Journal Entry
10	Carnius has gotten word of problems with Spriggans at the colony, and wants me to get rid of them. I should talk to Unel Lloran when the Spriggans have been dealt with.
20	Falco is concerned about recent Spriggan activity at the colony. He wants me to get rid of any Spriggans near the grove of trees at the Eastern end of the colony. When I'm done, I need to let Unel Lloran know. Falco thinks he's probably in the bar.
30	The Spriggans have been killed off for now.
40	Unel Lloran has told me that the colonists have tried cutting down the trees to no avail. He guessed that something could be done if he had access to the roots, but believes them to be too far underground for him to dig down to them.
50	The miners have mentioned that a cavern was discovered in the mine that was filled with tree roots too difficult to cut through, so they abandoned work on it. It's at the bottom level of the mine, in the passage to the north.
55	I checked the passage and found the roots. I should let Unel Lloran know about them.
60	I've agreed to show Unel Lloran the place in the mine that's overrun with tree roots.
70	I've brought Unel Lloran to the abandoned mine shaft with the tree roots.
80	Unel Lloran has said that if he can poison the tree roots, it may weaken them enough to cut down the trees. He'd like me to bring him five bittergreen petals, which I'll likely have to find someplace outside Solstheim.
90	I've delivered the bittergreen petals to Unel Lloran, who will use them to poison the water and weaken the trees. There's nothing more I can do to help; I should relay what's happened.
100	Falco was glad to hear that the trees are being dealt with, and has asked me to keep an eye out for Spriggans in the future.
110	Carnius was relieved that the Spriggans would no longer pose a threat to the mining operation.
