[edit] Detailed Walkthrough

[edit] The Captain's Note

At the Anvil harbor you will come across a ship on the far side of the harbor; The Sea Tub Clarabella. Entering its top deck you will encounter the violent captain of the ship, Captain Baszone Patneim. He will attack you on sight. After killing him, loot a note from his body (take the key too) and read it. The note is from his first mate, Filch.

Apparently the pirates of the Clarabella are illegally shipping sheep, and Filch wants to be doing more action-packed pirating. It's time for an investigation...

[edit] Illegal Cargo

Enter the mid deck of the ship through a hatch in the top deck. Here you will fight two pirates - an Argonian and an Orc. After you kill them, search the deck. You will find a locked door. Unlock it with the keys from the pirates' bodies, and enter. In here you will find illegally shipped sheep wandering about.

[edit] Filch

At the end of the mid deck is a hatch to the lower deck. Enter the lower deck. Here you will encounter a wood elf pirate and Filch, and they're angry! After a small duel Filch will die. Congratulations! You have successfully stopped a gang of shady, sheep smuggling pirates. Now to claim your reward.

[edit] Baszone's Treasure

Head back up to the top deck and you will find a locked chest between a bed and a barrel (the chest is in the image at the top, behind the Captain on the left). Unlock it with Captain Patneim's Key. The chest contains three pieces of leveled jewelry, a Potion of Seastride, a Potion of the Sea, 100 gold and a copy of The Lusty Argonian Maid. Good Work!

[edit] Notes

• If you have installed the Thieves Den official plug-in, you will encounter the captain on the mid deck rather than the top deck. The reason for this is that Dahlia Rackham will be on the top deck to sell you goods for Dunbarrow Cove, and you wouldn't want a crazy captain attacking you while you're buying stuff.
• Due to their high aggression, the pirates will attack the sheep, as well as yourself, when you enter the mid deck.
• The captain's chest is a safe storage place, probably due to the fact that it is quest-related. You can store any items you like inside and they are not in danger of disappearing after a few days. Therefore, with the free bed, you could use this ship as a house.
