Decide what to do with the axe

[edit] Detailed Walkthrough

[edit] Another Naked Man?

You'll find another of the half-naked Barbarians scattered across the land south-southeast of Vos by the name of Botrir. Speak with him to hear his painful tale of being seduced and cursed by a witch, Iveri Llothri, who stole his clothes and prize axe, Widowmaker. He asks you for your help in the matter, saying that the witch ran off to the northwest.

[edit] Finding the Witch

The witch's campsite is not too far in that direction and she leaves you little choice in your options: she attacks as soon as you and Botrir draw near. Botrir will likewise attack and you can aid him or watch the battle at your leisure.

[edit] Widowmaker

Once the witch is dead, loot her corpse to find the axe. If you give the axe to the barbarian you will receive a bonus to your Axe skill. If you decide to keep the axe, Botrir will attack you. You could hand the axe over for the skill bonus and then kill him to take back the weapon. Alternatively, just pick his pocket and take the axe right back.

10	Botrir is a Nord barbarian I met on my travels. I found him nearly naked and extremely angry.
20	Apparently, Botrir was escorting a young woman, Iveri Llothri, to Bal Ur, when she apparently ensorcelled him and took his prized axe, Widowmaker. He is out for the witch's blood, and would like my help in recovering his axe. As she has taken all of his armor, it is no surprise he needs the help. He's big, but doesn't seem too sharp.
30	I've agreed to go with Botrir to recover Widowmaker. The witch apparently headed northwest, so that is the direction in which we should probably travel to find her.
40	I've decided not to get involved in the affairs of this barbarian and the witch that stole his belongings.
50	We found the witch camped not far from where I found Botrir, Iveri Llothri did indeed seem to be a powerful witch, but we were able to recover the axe.
60	I have decided that the axe is much to powerful for one the likes of Botrir to keep. There is murder in his eyes.
70	Botrir was ecstatic about the recovery of Widowmaker, and it is easy to see why. It is a beautiful axe, and looks enchanted. I can imagine he is a formidable warrior indeed, wielding an axe such as this one. Botrir has little to me in return for my help, but he has offered to teach me something of the way of the axe. I'm certain he has much to teach when it comes to cleaving bone with that weapon.

90	Botrir has been killed while attempting to recover his prized axe, Widowmaker. It is a shame I'll never get to see him wield it.
