Detailed Walkthrough

Quest Offer

Questgiver says:

My name is (questgiver's name). You want work but you aren't a member of the Mages guild? I'm sure you can understand that we only provide quality work for our members. However, I do have a little errand that needs to be done. One of our books is missing. If you were to find and return it, I would consider it a personal favor, one that would reflect well on you with the entire guild.

Quest Acceptance

Questgiver goes on:

We have no clues at the moment. The name of the book is (random book). You will have to snoop around and ask people if they have heard anything. Bring the book back to me if you find it.

Quest Decline

Questgiver answers:

Obviously you are not interested in being on good terms with the Mages Guild.

Quest Object

Ask around in town until someone can point you to the tavern in town where a certain informant can be found. The informant will tell you that the book was stolen by a local thief. Ask around until you know the possible whereabouts of the book's thief. He/she has a busy schedule:

• From 00:00 to 08:00 he/she will be at home
• From 08:01 to 16:01 he/she will be at a certain weapons store in town
• From 16:02 to 23:59 he/she will be at a certain tavern in town

Once you know his/her schedule, you only need to get the names of the specific buildings; ask around further. Go to one of the buildings at the correct time and confront the thief. If you visit him/her at his/her home during the night, the door(s) will be locked, so be prepared for some lockpicking or have an open spell available. When you have found the thief at last, kill him/her and retrieve the book from his/her body. Return it back to the questgiver of the Mages Guild to receive his warmest thanks.

Quest End

When you bring the book back to the questgiver he will be pleased and thanks you by saying:

Ah, (random book). Well done, (player's first name). The Guild is certainly more favorably inclined toward you.
