[edit] Detailed Walkthrough

[edit] The Angry Trader

Tinos Drothan can be found just north of Vivec's Telvanni Canton. Drothan is reluctant to yield anything useful at first, but raise his disposition to 50 and he'll tell you that his two "escorts" have stolen his shipment of Raw Glass. Of course, he asks you if you'd like to help and retrieve it.

[edit] Find the Thieves

The two escorts, Alvur Hleran and Dondir, ran off towards the south-east, to the cave Beshara. The cave actually houses a number of people of ill-reputation, including the two in question.

[edit] Retrieve the Contraband

The glass itself can be found in a locked chest at the very end of the cave. Pick the lock or get the key from Alvur (by any means necessary). When you return to Drothan with the 10 pieces of glass, you'll receive a bonus to your Mercantile skill. If you kill both thieves, you will get a 5 point bonus. Killing only one of them nets you 3 points, and if you don't kill either of them, you'll only get a 2 point bonus. Note that you can't cheat and give him 10 pieces of Raw Glass from somewhere else. Only the 10 in the chest in the cave will do, even though they are identical in appearance.

[edit] Notes

• After completing the quest, you can taunt Drothan into a fight, kill him and take back the 10 pieces of raw glass.

The Angry Trader (MV_AngryTrader)

5		I met a traveler near Vivec. He looked like a trader, but he was furious about something and refused to speak to me.
10		I met an angry trader near Vivec. His name is Tinos Drothan, and his "guards" have run off with the goods he was carrying.
20		Tinos Drothan has told me if I can find the guards who stole his glass, kill them, and return the glass, he'd teach me some trader's tricks that could save me money in the future. The guards' names are Alvur Hleran and Dondiir, and he believes they are still in the area, perhaps holed up in a cave southeast of here.
23		I've agreed to help Tinos Drothan recover his stolen glass.
25		I've decided not to help Tinos Drothan recover his stolen glass.
30		I've found where Alvur Hleran and Dondir were hiding, and was able to recover the glass.
100		I've returned the raw glass shipment to Tinos Drothan, and although he was happy to have it back, he was unhappy I hadn't killed off his former guards. I guess that was enough, though, and he taught me a few tricks to dealing with merchants that could come in handy.
105		I returned the raw glass that had been stolen from Tinos Drothan, and he was fairly happy that I had also killed off one of his former guards. In return, he taught me some "tricks of the trade" that should help me in future dealings with merchants.
110		I returned the raw glass that had been stolen from Tinos Drothan, and he was very happy that I had also killed off his former guards. In return, he taught me some "tricks of the trade" that should help me in future dealings with merchants.
