You will find her in the final chamber of the ruins, tied up. She will say "Please, have mercy. Let me explain."

Speaking to her:
:"Please do not strike me. I am not with the Bitterhand. I am as a tree buried beneath the ground, stuck in darkness and doomed to die. I am not even a bandit … any more."
:So you were a bandit before?
:"Yes. I admit—I was with them, and I admit that I did bad things. I have robbed and I have beaten … but I have never just cut down an innocent person. When the Bitterhand began this practice of murdering people, that is when I decided to leave."
:What happened when you decided to leave?
:"Well, as you can see, they did not like that. They say I know too much, that I cannot just float away down the river.  They will soon kill me … unless a kind soul like yourself would release me. Then I can go and put down new roots in Shornhelm."
:'''I'll release you.
She has one more request before she leaves the ruins.
:"Yours is truly a generous spirit to release me from this dark place, but I would be most ungrateful if I did not tell you the entire truth. If I am truly to leave here—to put down new roots and find new life—more is needed to be done."
:What more is needed?
:"My misdeeds were not only connected with the Bitterhand. They were also entwined with another. There is a Breton woman who was a partner of sorts. She sold the items I … acquired. She will not be happy if I try to end our arrangement."
:Where is this woman?
:"She is not far. She is in Fell's Run. Her name is Brigibeth. I would go speak to her myself, but she would cut me down. I was only thinking, since you were helping me here, you might speak to her on my behalf?"
:Yes. I can speak to her for you.
:"As the mud is my mother, I will return your generosity, stranger. I go from here to the chapel in Shornhelm to repent of my misdeeds. Find me there at the chapel and I will ensure you receive a fruitful reward for your help."

Once Teeba-Ja is untied, she will run to the exit:
:Teeba-Ja: "Thank you. I will see you again at the chapel in Shornhelm."

She can be found in the chapel at Shornhelm after you tell Brigibeth that Teeba is quitting.
:"Ah, it is good to see you, my generous friend. I came here to pray to Mara for forgiveness for my past, and it was like the clouds parted and the sun shined on my soul. I have decided to stay and devote my life to Mara. It is a better life."
:Brigibeth said she might follow your lead.
:"She did? That is funny, but I do not expect she will follow through. Regardless of her path though, I am grateful she will not interfere with mine, and for that, I have you to thank."

You can speak to her a bit more after completing the quest.
:"You have cleared away the weeds so that I may set down new roots and thrive. Someday, I hope I can do the same for another and repeat the cycle."
:You really don't think Brigibeth will change her ways?
:"No. For many years, I dreamt of escaping the current that carried my life, but it demanded I swim upstream, and such a sacrifice I was not willing to make … until now. I suspect Brigibeth will not make the sacrifice, and she will not change."''
