WalkthroughEdit

A set of wooden ramps leads up to the door to the two-story watchtower. An Orc bandit guards the entrance, with another Orc bandit inside on the ground floor. The ground floor features a pile of firewood and a tanning rack, a table holding a mead barrel, a leg of goat, two leather strips, two garlic bulbs, a rock warbler egg, two raw rabbit legs, and a copy of The Code of Malacath, and an open fire and a cooking spit with a charred skeever cooking over it which you can harvest for a charred skeever hide.

A stone spiral staircase leads to the top level, which is guarded by an Orc bandit and the Orc bandit chief. The top level features an Orc-styled shelter with two chairs and a long wooden table holding a joint of raw beef, grilled leeks, a bottle of Nord mead, an enchanted Orcish warhammer, a copy of the Heavy Armor skill book Hallgerd's Tale, and a copy of The True Nature of Orcs. Behind the table is an unlocked chest, and to the left is a small table holding a random bow and arrows.

NotesEdit

BugsEdit

  • The Orc bandit chief does not respawn, which makes it impossible to complete radiant quests at this location if he has been killed previously.
    •   Open the console, then use the command prid d1f56 followed by resurrect. This should revive the Orc and allow you to complete the quest as normal.
