[edit] Walkthrough
Talk to Burz and he will ask you to deliver weapons consiting of a bow, hammer, and sword to the Desolate Mine Northwest of town. Travel there and kill the two goblins up front,one will be an archer who tends to use poison arrows,though they are usually only drain personality anyway. Speak to Elidor and give him the sword, then speak to Brag and give him the hammer. After they all have their weapons speak to Rienna and they will set off clearing the mine. Stay with them as if any of them die your reward drops. The mine is filled with goblins, clear them out and return to Burz.
An easy way to ensure that there are no casualties is to pickpocket the mine key from Rienna and clear the mine yourself before the others set off. If you're no good at pickpocketing, try to stay ahead of them and head to the area with the log trap, as this is what seems to kill them most readily, then set it off, watch out, and then kill the goblin "boss" yourself. Either way, return to Burz for your reward.
[edit] Journal Entries
Upon receiving the contract from Burz:
- Burz gro-Khash has given me a contract to deliver a weapons shipment to Fighters Guild members in the Desolate Mine northwest of Cheydinhal.
Upon speaking to Rienna:
- I've spoken with Rienna, one of the fighters in the Desolate Mine. She tells me that the cave has been infested with goblins, and we should clear the place out before leaving. I will have to give them each weapons, though.
After delivering the weapons:
- I have given weapons to the three Fighters Guild members. We should now clear the Mine of goblins.
Once the cave has been cleared of goblins:
- The Desolate Mine is now clear of the goblins infesting it. I should return to Burz gro-Khash for payment.
Reporting back to Burz with no casualties:
- Burz gro-Khash was pleased with my efforts, and has paid me for completing the contract.
Reporting back to Burz with casualties:
- I returned to Burz gro-Khash, who was not happy I allowed other guild members to die. I was still rewarded for delivering the weapons.
[edit] Bugs
There is a known bug in which the three people you did the quest with will appear outside any prison you have currently been imprisoned or fined to. They will fight on your side even if you are fighting Guards
