Skyrim talk:Kolskeggr Mine (quest)

Quest Reward

After finishing this quest, the orc miner said he would send word to the orc strongholds that I was trustworthy, and I was allowed to enter them without doing the Forgemaster's Fingers quest. A nice reward along with the tons of gold ore. 71.163.235.35 01:51, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

But...Gat... What? How?! Why!!

I just finished the quest. Then shortly after (I smelted all my Gold, explored a house in left-hand mine, and exited) a courier found me and told me I had inherited Gold... And the letter said it was from Gat Gro-Orcname. Why did he die? Is it scripted, or something, or did it just happen randomly? I was able to find his friend along the road, and he seemed fine, and hadn't even entered the wilderness. Do NPC's just randomly die and sometimes leave you money!?!?

NPCs who like you will leave you an inheritance should they die. Gat was probably killed by the respawning Forsworn in Kolskeggr Mine. --Legoless 19:43, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Is there a way to stop the forsworn from respawning?

What if i use the console to 'disable' them? ForsakenOne 14:39, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

"Disable" or "Kill" are only affecting the particular instance, so it does not do more than simply killing them. Whenever the zone is reset, all old enemies will be disabled anyway, and new ones created according to the tables used for that area. The only way I could think of to stop them from respawning is to prevent the area being reset - i.e., visit regularily. Although this does not stop all areas from being reset, so it is not a safe bet - and probably quite annoying. To keep my moral reward of Pavo and co. leading a happy worker's life, I just leave the whole area. --Ulkomaalainen 22:07, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Unlimited reward bug?

Encounter a serious glitch. After I finish clearing the mine of Forsworn, both Pavo and Gat go back to work. After some time, this quest happens AGAIN. You have the option to tell them the mine is cleared again, and get the reward (inside the barrack). Then you watch them heading out the miner's barrack. When you go out, they will return to the barrack. And the quest happens AGAIN. Loop and Loop. Non-stop. (Only happen with patch 1.4)
