Detailed WalkthroughEdit
Falco GalenusEdit
After three days from the ebony ore quest you'll receive a journal entry to speak to Carnius who, in turn, will tell you to speak to Falco Galenus in Raven Rock about a problem. Once in Raven Rock, Falco will tell you about a crazy Nord, Hroldar the Strange, who has been hanging around ranting about how we're ruining the land. Falco wants you to get rid of him, though he doesn't want him killed if you can help it.
Hroldar the StrangeEdit
Go have a chat with Hroldar who is in front the building near to Falco. Unfortunately, the chat is brief, as he doesn't want to have anything to do with you. If you attack or punch Hroldar at this point, he'll fight to the death (or until you Calm or retreat), so make sure you return to Falco, who will then explicitly instruct you to knock Hroldar out in a hand-to-hand fight. Just keep hitting him until he goes down, it might take a while, but he won't fight back, so there's really no reason to rush. However, if your Hand-to-hand skill is very low, try using a Damage Fatigue spell. Alternatively, you could use scrolls, spells or items with a Fortify Attack, Fortify Agility or Fortify Hand-to-Hand effect to increase your chances of hitting him. Once you get his fatigue low enough he will surrender and promptly leave.
Return to FalcoEdit
Return to Falco once you've defeated Hroldar for a reward of 1000 gold. Speak to Carnius as well to inform him that the problem has been solved.
Alternate EndingEdit
If you get tired of trying to knock Hroldar down, you can just kill him. His body vanishes and you get a message that he has disappeared in a flash of light. If you speak to Falco now, he will be very angry with you and complain about people not being able to follow orders. He does not reward you, but sends you to report to Carnius. If you speak with Carnius, he will be happy and give you 1000 gold.
