The Toothmaul Ploy

The Toothmaul Ploy is a quest available in .
==Background==
I stumbled onto an investigator named Pirondil being threatened by an unknown Altmer assailant in a Goblin cave. He's enlisted me to help get to the bottom of the situation.
==Objectives==
#Investigate the gully
#Talk to Byz
#Find evidence of Nelanya's bargain
#Find Byz
#Talk to Pirondil
#Choice: (see below)
##Kill Koth and search his body (if you choose not to help the goblins)
##Save Koth. (Obtain Key)
#Confront Nelanya
#Talk to Pirondil
==Walkthrough==
In the Toothmaul Gully, you will find a man named Pirondil. He will tell you that the Goblins here are unusually well-armed, and will ask for your help in investigating this new threat. 
Head deeper into the gully, to the room with all the water on the floor, and you will find a non-hostile goblin named Byz. Speak with him and he will tell you that the goblins here are escaped slaves from the big island, and that they have a contract with an Altmer named Nelanya. He will tell you that said contract is in the dens, down the tunnel. Byz will also tell you that he will meet with you outside the chief's den once you have the contract.
The contract can be found in the small room in all the way in the south of the cave, beside the Khajiit Jilan-dar. Said Khajiit will give you the quest Well-Armed Savages. That quest takes place in the same area as this one, so it can be efficient to do both simultaneously. Either way, when you read the contract, you will find that the goblins here are in league with the Veiled Heritance. With this information in hand, head to the eastern section of the caves to meet with Byz. You will find him being threatened by Pirondil; talk Pirondil out of threatening the goblins and offer to go talk the chief out of the alliance with the Heritance. Byz will go tell the chief that you wish to speak with him; follow Byz into the chief's den and speak with the chief. 
Chief Koth will not trust you, but neither does he trust the elves he made the deal with. He will give you the key to the part of the cave where Nelanya resides and tell you that he does not care whether you kill her. Nelanya's Retreat is to the north of the chief's lair; she will not be hostile. Talk to her and she will offer to explain what she has been doing. You can either kill her outright, or you can hear her out and then choose whether to kill or spare her She will explain that the Veiled Heritance are indeed duping the goblins here, because they feel like they are losing the war and they will use any means necessary. If you spare her, . If you opt to kill her, you should then head to Pirondiil at the cave's entrance. 
Speak with Pirondiil there to finish the quest.
