15: Final Justice

Your next target is Shaleez, an Argonian who dwells in the Flooded Mine north of Bravil. It would be a good idea to bring some sort of poison that can be applied to a weapon or arrow, just to make your initial strike all the more deadly. A scroll or a potion that has the Water Breathing effect would be handy as well.

When you're ready to get started, fast travel to Bravil and follow the north road. Have 'Final Justice' set as your active quest, because by doing so, an arrow pointing to Shaleez will appear on your map and compass. The Flooded Mine, as its name implies, is full of water. Even if you don't possess a spell, scroll, or potion that adds the Water Breathing effect, you can still easily swim through the water to reach Shaleez, as you can always head back up for air if need be.

Avoid fighting Shaleez underwater, unless your character is an Argonian.

Follow your compass to reach Shaleez. If you encounter her while underwater, you'll want to lure her up to land. Argonians can breathe underwater, and if your character is any race other than Argonian, she has a clear advantage. Swim away from her until you come across a suitable patch of land to fight upon. When Shaleez follows you out of the water, go at her with all your might.

Once Shaleez has been dealt with, make your way out of the Flooded Mine. The next dead drop orders, as well as your reward for completing the contract, are in a coffin outside of Fort Redman. Fort Redman is north of Leyawiin, and has been marked on your map. Travel to Fort Redman, open the coffin next to the entrance and remove the dead drop orders, the additional document, and your reward.
