2: The Desolate Mine

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Guide - Fighter's Guild

The Desolate Mine

Speak to Burz gro-Khash in the Cheydinhal Fighter's Guild hall. Select the 'Contract' dialogue option to get started. You need to travel to the Desolate Mine outside of Cheydinhal and deliver some supplies to the Fighters Guild members there.

Leave Cheydinhal and make your way to the Desolate Mine, which is just northwest from the city. Enter the mine, and head straight down toward the fire to find the Fighters Guild members gathered there. Speak to Rienna and give her the bow, give Brag gro-Bharg the hammer, and give Elidor the sword. Once they have the supplies, you'll have to help them clear the mine of goblins. It would be wise to save your game at this point because if the event that one or more of your allies die, the gold reward you receive at the end of the quest will be a bit lighter.

Outfit the guild members in the Desolate Mine based on their preferences.

Run through the tunnel and kill any goblins in your path. Be sure to keep an eye on your allies, as they are quite dense and will simply run at anything that catches their eye, which makes them prone to becoming outnumbered.

It is quite dark in the Desolate Mine, so hopefully you have some way of creating light. There are a couple of traps to watch out for, especially the falling logs, which are likely to crush your allies if they're following behind you.

Once the mine has been completely cleared, the quest completed notification will pop-up on the screen. Return to Cheydinhal and speak to Burz gro-Khash to receive your reward. If you have not completed the 'A Rat Problem' quest yet, speak to Burz gro-Khash about your advancement to be promoted to the Apprentice rank in the guild.
