[edit] Detailed Walkthrough

[edit] Orders

Eydis Fire-Eye in the Balmora Fighters Guild will give you this quest to exterminate a few cave rats in Drarayne Thelas' house, just across the Odai River in town.

[edit] Meet Drarayne

Drarayne's house is located on the east riverbank, in the center of town. Enter Drarayne Thelas's house and have a conversation with her about cave rats. She will inform you that she has one rat closed up in the bedroom and two rats upstairs in her locked storage room, giving you a key to the storage room door. Take out the three rats and return to Drarayne to receive an increase in Disposition and 100 drakes.

[edit] Return to Eydis

Return to Eydis Fire-Eye to let her know you've completed your task. Ask about an advancement to receive a possible promotion. Ask about orders if you're ready for your next assignment from her.

[edit] Notes

In Drarayne Thelas' bedroom there is a skill book on the shelf (36 Lessons of Vivec, Sermon 20) which increases your Long Blade skill.
Drarayne has a locked level 20 chest on the shelf in her bedroom; if you have lockpicks, shut the bedroom door and pick the lock to snag some additional drakes.
Don't forget to check out the loot in the storage room upstairs; nothing expensive, but it can be fenced for additional cash.
Completing this quest makes it impossible to complete another quest for Drarayne without using the TES Construction Set or a console command. See Thelas' Pillows for more.
This quest is subtly referenced in one of the first Fighters Guild quests in Oblivion. Arvena Thelas (note the common last name) is also having A Rat Problem of a different sort.
