[edit] The Paralyzed Barbarian

On the road west from Ald'ruhn, you should run into Hisin Deep-Raed, a half-naked Nord. Speak with him to learn that he was escorting a witch and, in the process, got himself cursed, paralyzed, and stripped. He might not be telling you the whole story...

[edit] Helping the Nord

If you have it in your heart, or at least inventory, you can cure him with a regular Cure Common Disease spell or potion. In return, you'll receive the magical helm named The Icecap, which bestows a good frost resistance to the wearer. Unfortunately, you do not appear to be able to give him any clothes though...

[edit] Notes

You can give him pants if you open the console, click him and enter:

additem "common_pants_01" 1

Decency restored!

Index	Journal Entry
10	I encountered Hisin Deep-Raed standing along the side of the road today. Well, "standing" is not the correct term; he was rooted to the spot.
20	It seems the Nord was traveling with a woman as her "escort." He must have offended her in some way, which is not hard to imagine, and she magically infected him with a disease, leaving him paralyzed. Though he is loath to admit it, the fool is completely helpless. It's clear he needs my help, and in his own way, he is asking for it.
40	I have decided to try and find a potion that might cure Hisin Deep-Raed's disease. While I would generally hurry to get back and help a poor soul, a little time spent like this might be good for the big barbarian.
50	The barbarian deserves whatever has happened to him, and I don't feel he deserves my time.
60	I've told the barbarian I would attempt to cast a spell on him in order to cure the disease that has been placed on him. Leaving him here for a while wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, but perhaps the big fool has suffered enough.
65	I was able to cast a spell on the barbarian to cure his disease.
100	Hisin Deep-Raed is free of his disease. He seems a bit shamed by his ordeal, but maybe a little better for it.
110	Though his other faults are too great to number, the oaf is nothing if not grateful. He has given me his fur helm, which he calls the Icecap. It reeks of barbarian.
