[edit] Detailed Walkthrough

[edit] Job

Sugar-Lips Habasi in the South Wall Cornerclub in Balmora asks you to recover some Dwemer artifacts stolen by Ra'Zhid in Hla Oad (south-west of Balmora on the coast).

[edit] Find Ra'Zhid

It's a moderate walk to Hla Oad from Balmora through some fairly rugged terrain; alternatively, you can travel to a port city with a dock (e.g. you can take the Silt Strider to Vivec), and take a transport ship to Hla Oad (although this will take longer).

Ask about town, and you will be directed to Fatleg's Drop Off, where Ra'Zhid can be found loitering inside. Chat with Ra'Zhid, and he'll play dumb about the artifacts in question, claiming that he hasn't received them yet. Speaking with Ra'Zhid leads nowhere, no matter how much you attempt to persuade him. As is often the case, though, he can be taunted into attacking you fairly easily, removing (some) legal complications.

[edit] Recover the Artifacts

The artifacts are a Dwemer goblet, bowl and tube (note that you can return any items that you find, e.g. from any Dwemer ruin, not just the ones in Hla Oad, although the goblet MUST be 4 pounds; there is a 3 pound version, and it will not be accepted). The artifacts are in a locked (35) chest behind some crates and Ra'Zhid will likely attack you if he notices you attempting to open it or taking the items. Ra'Zhid has a key to the chest on his person, and you can attempt to pickpocket the key from him. Even if you taunt Ra'Zhid into attacking you and you subsequently kill him in the battle, the owner of the store, Trasteve, will still report you for robbery if he sees you trying to open the chest, with or without the key that Ra'Zhid is carrying but, conveniently, there is a pillar in the house situated directly between the chest and Trasteve that can block his view of you.

[edit] Return to Sugar-Lips

Return to Sugar-Lips Habasi for a reward of two Master lockpicks, two Journeyman's probes, and a Journeyman's armorer's hammer.

[edit] Notes

As in other Thieves Guild quests, you'll find it worthwhile to carefully pick the spot from which you access the chest. If you position yourself correctly, you can mask your actions and get away clean
Obviously a high Sneak skill is beneficial in completing this quest
