[edit] Walkthrough

[edit] A Lost Friend

In the center of the Godsreach District you'll find the simple-tongued Thrud wandering around looking for his lost friend Dilborn. Inquire further and you'll learn that Dilborn the wizard has been missing for three days now and that he was last seen entering the sewers in the area. Thrud will insist on helping you find his friend.

[edit] Rescue Attempt

The sewer's entrance are in the northwest corner of the Godsreach District. You'll find Dilborn and three of his "friends" not far from the sewer entrance in the central area of the Residential Sewers, at an eastern dead-end. Dilborn has nothing interesting to say except for a few cries of help, and the nearby goons will direct you to their leader, Drathas Nerus. Apparently the wizard owed Drathas money, and he is determined to get it one way or the other. If you attack Drathas, his henchmen will attack and kill poor Dilborn. If you are quick and skilled enough, however, you can attack and take the three of them out with help from Thrud. Drathas has a weapon that paralyzes for twenty seconds, so try to keep your distance or have anti-paralyzation enchantments or potions. If you choose to pay the money Dilborn owes, speak to Drathas to find out the sum is a whopping 3000 gold. If you ask to lower the fee you can get it down to 1000 gold. If you threaten him he will order his men to attack Dilborn (who doesn't last too long). To regain your money it is possible to kill Drathas and his gang after rescuing Thor and Dilborn (Drathas has a few nice items.) You are rewarded by Thrud with the skill book Trap. If your character isn't the greatest and you have problems taking on all three of the gang, do the quest as normal by paying Drathas but then walk away and sleep for a while (the length doesn't matter) and return. Drathas and Dilborn are still there but the cronies have left and you can then kill Drathas for some rather nice glass boots and greaves, plus your money back.

[edit] Notes

  • It is possible to complete the quest without speaking to Thrud, if you rather not have a naked Nord following you. You can free Dilborn on your own, but you will not receive the reward if you choose to do it this way. Thrud de-spawns, if he's not in the sewers with you.
  • You can use a form of Command Humanoid to maneuver Dilborn out of harms way, before dealing with the thugs.
  • If you still have any PoisonGrip Arrows, they can make for effective crowd control.
