Detailed Walkthrough

A Cry for Help

Due North of Tel Muthada you will find Rianele Sele, a Breton woman, under attack by the Nord Alfhed. Both with request your help.

Killing either of the two will complete the quest. However, if you knock Alfhed out using hand-to-hand or drain fatigue, Alfhed will calm down and explain the situation. Alfhed will tell you that he was drugged by Brenne Smitte in Tel Muthada. He mistook Rianele for the alchemist. Rianele will tell you she saw the Nord unconscious and attempted to help him, only to be attacked. Alfhed requests that you find his prized axe, Thunderstrike.

Finding the Real Witch

Go back to Tel Muthada. Asking the locals about Brenne Smitte reveals she is an alchemist in the Lower Tower. If you ask Brenne about Thunderstrike, she will tell you she drugged him for telling lousy jokes, and then give you the battle-axe.

The battle-axe is an enchanted Nordic Axe with a weak shock enchantment. After returning Thunderstrike to Alfhed, he will reward you by raising your axe skill by 1.

Index	Finishes Quest	Journal Entry
5		While wandering on the road between Tel Muthada and Helnim, I noticed a Breton, Rianele, running from a very naked Nord, Alfhed. Rianele claims that Alfhed is insane; Alfhed claims that she stole his belongings.
10	Finishes quest	I have killed Alfhed the Nord and listened to Rianele's side of the story. Rianele has given me 200 septims in return for defending her.
15		I have helped Alfhed kill Rianele Sele.
20		Alfhed appears to have calmed down now.
25		Rianele has paid me 250 gold for calming Alfhed down before he was able to hurt her.
30		Alfhed has admitted that he must have mistaken Rianele for someone else. He could not find any sign of his axe, Thunderstrike.
40		Brenne Smitte, the alchemist of Tel Muthada, admitted to drugging Alfhed. She and Rianele look quite similar, so it appears Alfhed must have mistaken Rianele for Brenne.
50	Finishes quest	I have returned Thunderstrike to Alfhed. In return he has taught me a bit about how to properly use an axe.
60	Finishes quest	I have decided to not get involved in the apparent argument between the two.
70	Finishes quest	On the road between Tel Muthada and Helnim, I found a Breton running from a Nord. The Nord recognized the axe, Thunderstrike, that I had. I believe he is the rightful owner of it and I have returned the axe to him.
80	Finishes quest	On the road between Tel Muthada and Helnim, I found a Breton running from a Nord. The Nord recognized the axe, Thunderstrike, that I had. Because I refused to return the axe to him, he attacked me.
