4: Unfinished Business

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

Unfinished Business

Speak to Vilena Donton in the Chorrol Fighters Guild hall. She should be there from 6:00AM until nightfall. Select the 'Duties' dialogue option while speaking to Vilena to get started. She points you to a Dark Elf named Modryn Oreyn, who can also be found in the Chorrol Fighters Guild hall, likely from 10:00AM until dark. Select the 'Duties' dialogue option while speaking to Modryn Oreyn to receive your task. Maglir, who is a member of the Fighters Guild, has defaulted on a contract. You'll need to travel to Skingrad, located Maglir, and find out what happened.

Locate the West Weald Inn in Skingrad and head inside. Maglir should be standing by the counter; approach him and start a conversation. Select the 'Defaulted' dialogue option and Maglir will tell you of his task to find Brenus Astis' Journal, which is somewhere in Fallen Rock Cave.

Speak to Maglir at the West Weald Inn in Skingrad about the defaulted contract.

Since Maglir refuses to carry out the contract, the responsibility is now yours. The Fallen Rock Cave is located northwest of Skingrad; it's just a short trek from the Grateful Pass Stables outside the city. When you reach the cave, locate the entrance and head inside. Have 'Unfinished Business' set as your active quest and follow the quest marker on your compass to find the journal. If you get lost, press the B/Circle button and look to the local area map to see where you are.

Fallen Rock Cave is occupied by a variety of undead creatures, so remain vigilant as your make your way through. If your character is a high enough level, you are likely to encounter several ghosts. You'll need a silver or enchanted weapon to damage ghosts. When you kill a ghost, be sure to collect the Ectoplasm from its remains, as Ectoplasm is needed to complete the next Fighters Guild duty.

You'll have to drop down to a stream in the large area at the north end of the cave and follow it north to get to the journal. When you reach the room that contains the journal, look next to the chest here to spot Brenus Astis' Journal. Pick up the journal, and make your way out of Fallen Rock Cave.

Brenus Astis' Journal is in the room at the north end of Fallen Rock Cave.

Return to the West Weald Inn in Skingrad and speak to Maglir there. Tell him of your success, then return to Chorrol and speak to Modryn Oreyn. Whether you tell Modryn Oreyn the truth about who completed the task or not doesn't seem to matter, as going with either option yields the same amount of gold.
