Walkthrough

Typhola wants you to clear some ruins north of the castle - she says that monsters have been roaming the area, and it's about time someone dealt with them. You'll get a quest marker, but it's not far. Once you get there, though, you'll find that it's just a ruined tower with some sandcrawlers. Report back to Typhola, and she'll give you a map to a secret entrance near the ruins.

The entrance leads to a cave below the ruins, where a Khajiit has taken up residence. He's not there, but he has a chest containing a journal; the journal has a key hidden in the pages and mentions that the key leads to a secret door in the tower above.

Return to the tower, use the key to open the door, and go down through the trapdoor into the ruins. You'll have to deal with some undead before you get to the hoard - 8000 gold, along various other valuables. You can keep the other stuff, but you'll have to hand over the gold to Typhola. At this point, you can set a trap for the Khajiit, or leave him alone (the next quest will kick off here).

If you want to deal with the Khajiit, go get a fire trap from Alberto, then set it outside the cave entrance. The Khajiit will come along and set it off, killing himself in the process.

Journal Entries

Ruins Beyond the Dunes (ODDAss06Ruine)
Stage	Finishes Quest	Journal Entry
10		Maybe Typhola has something for me to do?
20		I got orders from Typhola to secure a ruin north of the Assassin Castle. Supposedly there are many monsters around that she wants to see eliminated.
30		When I arrived at the ruins, I realized that they were just looking at sandcrawlers, and no dangerous monsters shelter there. I think I should be on my way back to Typhola.
40		Typhola gave me a map on which is recorded a hidden access to the abandoned ruins that I just visited. She wants me to go there again and recover the treasures from inside.
45		I found a hidden switch in the ruins and opened the tower in its center.
50		In a Khajiit's journal, I found a key that will maybe let me get to the treasure.
60		In the ruins north of the Assassin Castle, I found a great treasure of 8,000 gold coins. I should give it to Typhola if I don't want to be expelled from the Assassin Castle.
70		I gave Typhola the gold. Also, I handed her the Khajiit's journal. She says if I want to, I can install a trap in the ruins and kill the cat. I can get the trap from Alberto.
80		Alberto gave me the fire trap, with which I can kill the Khajiit.
90		I installed the fire trap. Now I can wait for the Khajiit and see if it runs into the trap.
95	Finishes quest	The Khajiit is dead.

Notes

• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in random order.
• If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
• It is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage ODDAss06Ruine stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages. See SetStage for more information.
