[edit] Detailed Walkthrough

[edit] Receive Quest

Modryn Oreyn wants you to speak with Maglir who has defaulted on yet another contract, this time in Bravil.

[edit] Maglir

Travel to Bravil and ask around town or the local Fighters Guild about "Maglir" and you'll be directed to The Lonely Suitor Lodge in town. Once you locate Maglir and speak with him he'll reveal he's defected to the Blackwood Company for work (as if his new armor wasn't a dead giveaway).

If you covered for Maglir before, he'll tell you about Aryarie directly.
If you dutifully told Modryn Oreyn the truth about Maglir's first defaulted contract he'll get quite upset with you, calling you a rat and refusing to speak with you any further. At this stage you can either return to Modryn Oreyn, who will tell you to talk to Aryarie or speak directly with her in the Bravil Mages Guild for details on completing the contract.

[edit] Robbers Glen Cave

Aryarie needs 10 portions of Imp Gall for her research and doesn't trust the Blackwood Company to do the job. She suggests Robber's Glen Cave as a likely place to find it and marks the location on your map.

Travel to Robber's Glen Cave north along The Green Road from Bravil and inside you will indeed find many imps. They seem to have an uncanny ability to detect stealth but they're fairly spread out and relatively easy to dispatch so this shouldn't be a problem.

One of the larger areas is divided by a long and shallow chasm with logs across it. Try to get across this quickly or you could end up with imps blasting you at range from both sides, forcing you to hurry across logs to get to the other one and possibly fall into the chasm where they can continue to blast you. Alternatively, jump into the chasm to find a tunnel leading to the other side. Getting back across the logs to exit the cave can be a little tricky.

Kill imps and other cave dwellers, collect 10 gall. Even if you have 10 imp gall in storage, there are many enchanted weapons and armor in the chests of the cave so fresh imp gall is worth the effort.

[edit] Reward

Return to Aryarie to receive a leveled Ring of Aegis, which has a constant Shield enchantment. These rings are available at a much lower level (4 levels lower) than anywhere else in the game.

Level	Item Name	Enchantment
1-4	Base Ring of Aegis	Shield 12pts
5-9	Ring of Aegis	Shield 15pts
10+	Grand Ring of Aegis	Shield 18pts

Return to Modryn Oreyn for the rest of your rewards: a standard level-dependent gold reward, one Fame point, and advancement to the rank of Defender. Now that you have finally earned some respect from him, Modryn will suggest it's time to talk about the Blackwood Company, which leads to your next Fighters Guild quest for him.

[edit] Notes

If you are the Arch-Mage and have at least one Imp Gall, you can use the Archmage's Enchanted Chest to create the remaining Imp Galls required. (An Imp Gall can be found in the smaller of the 2 baskets next to the Archmage's bed.)

Or, if you have bought the Wizard's Tower Official Mod then you could kill the Imps in the vault and harvest them for Imp Gall.

Notes

Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in random order.
If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage quest stage. Where quest is the internal name of the quest, and stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages. See SetStage for more information.
