[edit] Detailed Walkthrough

[edit] Receive Quest

Once you've finished with Azzan's and Burz gro-Khash's quests, speak with Vilena Donton in Chorrol for your next duty. She'll direct you to Modryn Oreyn for now.

Modryn will want you to speak with Maglir who has defaulted on a contract in Skingrad.

[edit] Maglir

Find Maglir and see why he defaulted on the contract. He can be found drowning his sorrows in the West Weald Inn in Skingrad. He was supposed to find Brenus Astis' Journal, which was reported to be in Fallen Rock Cave, but Maglir thinks it's not worth the money the guild is paying him to do it.

[edit] Fallen Rock Cave

Head over to Fallen Rock Cave, which is a little northwest of Skingrad. The cave has its share of undead to avoid or kill. The journal can be found in a half-water filled room towards the north end of the cave.

[edit] Reward

You can first stop by and talk to Maglir again to let him know you've found the journal. He doesn't seem to care whether you tell Modryn Oreyn the truth or not. It's up to you whether to inform him of Maglir's actions.

Return to Modryn with the journal to receive a standard level-dependent gold reward. If you tell him you were the one who accomplished the task, you'll earn one Fame point; if you tell him that you convinced Maglir to complete the contract, you'll earn no Fame.

[edit] Notes

While Maglir's statements make it seem like he doesn't care, he will reveal his feelings in More Unfinished Business, and how you handled this quest will slightly affect that quest.

If you encounter any ghosts or wraiths in Fallen Rock Cave, be sure to keep some of their ectoplasm. You will need five for the next quest, Drunk and Disorderly. You will only encounter ghosts or wraiths if you are at least level 6 when you enter the cave.

30		I have been told that I can find Maglir at the West Weald Inn in Skingrad.
40		Maglir tells me his contract was to find the scholar Brenus Astis' journal within Fallen Rock Cave. He doesn't believe he's being paid well enough for the dangerous assignment, so he has chosen not to complete it. He has told me I should complete the contract instead.
50		I have found Brenus Astis' journal. I should either speak with Maglir or tell Modryn Oreyn that the contract is now completed.

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.
