10-19	750
20-29	1,000
30-39	1,250

Notes

• The quest Kill the Bandit Leader can have identical quest objectives.
• It is possible to trigger the quest by killing the required leader without first speaking with Kjar. It adds an objective to return to Kjar. Once spoken to Kjar, you will receive the objective to kill the leader. Telling Kjar of the leader's death will complete both objectives.

Bugs

• If you are sent to Uttering Hills Cave, and have already completed Summerset Shadows for the Thieves Guild, you will be unable to complete this quest, as the bandit leader is replaced by Linwe and the former is nowhere to be seen.
  • PC Only This bug is fixed by version 2.0.4 of the Unofficial Skyrim Patch.
  • Ficheiro:Pc22.png You can still progress through the quest by typing "c5688".kill in the console.
• If you have completed the mission and levels later reenter the same location once it is repopulated, it can give you the completion again, allowing you to collect a bounty for re-killing the rogue crewman.
  • PC Only This bug is fixed by version 2.0.1 of the Unofficial Skyrim Patch.
• The bandit boss is prematurely made available to kill before Kjar actually offers the quest.
  • PC Only This bug is fixed by version 2.1.0 of the Unofficial Skyrim Patch.

Stage	Finishes Quest	Journal Entry

• The following empty quest stages were omitted from the table: 200.

 

Notes

• Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Quest system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
• If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
• On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage FreeformShipsWindhelm stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages, but it is possible to clear all stages of the quest using resetquest FreeformShipsWindhelm.
