## Detailed Walkthrough

#### **Report to Dumbuk gro-Bolak**

After finishing their induction, the player will be told to report to Dumbuk gro-Bolak. Asking for orders, Dumbuk will tell the player to retrieve a land deed from the Widow Vabdas, whose husband died recently in the Gnisis Eggmine. The Legion wants Vabdas' land for a new dock and Dumbuk tells you not to take 'no' for an answer.

#### **Go to Widow Vabdas's hut and talk to her**

You can find the widow's hut west of town. Talking to the Widow will reveal that she thinks her husband was killed in the mine by a legionnaire and requests that you avenge his death by bringing justice to the legionnaire who killed him.

Alternatively, the investigation can be skipped by stealing the land deed, which is found in a locked chest on your right as you enter Widow Vabdas' house. The Widow holds its key. If you present the stolen deed to Dumbuk you will complete the quest, but will receive no bonuses.

#### **Enter the Gnisis Eggmine**

Head for the mine on the east side of town on the hill and speak to the guard, Vatollia Apo. If you're in your uniform, you can ask him to open the door and he will oblige.

You'll find the Orc legionnaire Lugrub gro-Ogdum in the lower sections of the mine who will attack you unless you leave the area quickly enough or if have your uniform on. Also in this area, you will see a Kwama Queen; Be careful not to kill her as it needs to be alive for Dumbuk's next quest, and killing her will get the player punished and fined.

#### **Find the body of Vabdas's husband**

As you explore the lower levels of the eggmine, the body of Vabdas' husband can be found dumped in a pool along with a damaged axe. You can also find the ghost of Mansilamat Vabdas, telling the player that Lubgrub murdered him. Retrieving the axe and presenting it to Dumbuk will leave him sceptical, but ask you bring it to Mug gro-Dulob in Fort Darius to inspect.

The armourer will get confirmation that it is a Legion-issued weapon that was lost by Lugrub. Bringing the axe back to Dumbuk with the armourer's confirmation will give the player the authority to arrest or execute Lugrub.

#### **Arrest or kill Lugrub**

The player can opt to try and convince Lugrub to come clean, or knock him out with more drink. If the players talked to Fenas Madach or another legionnaire about Lugrub with a high enough disposition, they will reveal that Lugrub has a certain weakness to Cyrodiilic Brandy. Procuring a bottle for Lugrub instead of trying to arrest him will cause him to collapse.

#### **Report back to Dumbuk gro-Bolak**

Once you've either killed or subdued Lugrub, report back to Dumbuk. If you managed to get Lugrub arrested, Dumbuk will reward you with a bonus of 50 gold. Asking about the Widow Vabdas after completing the quest, he will mention a widow fund the garrison is putting together and if the player might put some of their bonus towards it. If the player pledges all of their bonus, Bologra will give the player an Amulet of Divine Intervention as a token of thanks for being so generous.

After the quest, Bologra promotes the player to Spearman, and that they can claim a weapon for themselves from Mug gro-Dulob.
