Detailed WalkthroughEdit

A RescueEdit

With the business of the defector out of the way, Hartise has new orders for you. She needs you to mount a rescue mission for one of the guild's better fighters, Arfil, last seen in Ald Mirathi, a Daedric ruin immediately southwest of the small settlement of Hla Bulor. There really is no quick and easy way to either location, but Hartise will mark Hla Bulor on your map, and you'll need to find your way on foot to get there.

Once at Ald Mirathi, you should find the Wood Elf, Arfil, just beyond the entrance, but attempting to speak to him will yield only the message that he is motionless. You'll need to find a way to cure his paralysis. If you're lucky, you'll already have such a method - like a Dispel spell. If not, you'll need to obtain a Scroll of Corrupt Arcanix from beneath the feet of the statue of Mehrunes Dagon, in Ald Mirathi's main chamber. If however you manage to cure Arfil at this stage, he will assist you with clearing the ruin itself.

Otherwise, the clearing falls to you alone, with the ruin's main chamber being packed with Daedra and cultists. To aid you in the fight, there are three summoning scrolls scattered around the chamber, which will help even the odds considerably. Once the room is cleared, take the Scroll of Corrupt Arcanix from the feet of Dagon's statue, and use it on Arfil. His motion restored, he'll thank you for your assistance - apparently the scrolls he had intended to use to sneak up on the cultist had paralysed him instead. Assuming the ruin is now cleared of cultists, Arfil will ask you to report back to Hartise.

A RefundEdit

Back in Helnim, speak to Hartise about rescue Arfil. Satisfied by your rescue of him, she will now ask you to return the faulty scrolls to Master Darythi, who resides in Tel Gilan, immediately east of Helnim. Hartise wants you to get back the 1,000 gold paid for 12 faulty scrolls, but cautions you not to offend the wizard, as he (along with other Telvanni) represent one of the guild's most frequent customers.

Go to Tel Gilan, making sure to purchase a means of levitation either there or in Helnim. Then, levitate up to the higher reaches of the tower, and enter the Lord's Chambers via the Upper Hallways. Master Darythi can be found at the top of the Lord's Chambers (you'll need to levitate again to reach him). Ask him about return the faulty scrolls. He'll initially be polite enough:

"Yes, my most recent batch of scrolls. A bit of the ink is smudged as my hands have started to shake a bit, but they should work just the same. What seems to be the problem?"

You have two options to respond with:

  1. "My guild needs a refund for these scrolls."
  2. "Your scrolls are faulty. We want our money back."

The second option will offend Master Darythi, and he will refuse to refund you. If this happens, return to Hartise for a reduced reward of 150 gold. The first option will yield better results however, with the Telvanni wizard actually looking long enough at the scrolls to realise his mistake. With 70+ disposition, he will even double the refund, as an apology. With said refund secured, return to Hartise for either a 300 gold or 600 gold cut, depending on whether the refund was doubled or not.
