Detailed Walkthrough

Shrine Sergeant Mission

Kaye at the Imperial Chapels in Ebonheart will ask you to take care of a witch named Thelsa Dral in the Asha-Ahhe Egg Mine south of Khuul. He will give you 300 gold for expenses.

Thelsa Dral the Witch

Grab a boat or Silt Strider up to Khuul and head south out of town along the path, past another egg mine (Panud). If you speak with the miners just inside the mine, you'll get a general idea of what to expect. Thelsa Dral has two bodyguards and is also capable of summoning Dremoras, so be careful.

Once she's dead, return to Kaye to receive Firestone, a magical ring.

Notes

• If you talk to the two egg miners after clearing out the mine, their disposition jumps by 20 and they will each give you four Large Kwama Eggs as long as their disposition is below 80.
• After completing this quest, be sure to talk to everyone in Khuul about it. Every time you mention it to any resident of this town, you'll get a ten point Disposition boost, as long as their initial disposition was below 60.
• Kaye states that his men drove a coven of witches from Ashalmawia, but if you travel to the shrine after the quest, the cultists are still there.
• Refusing the quest, or returning to Kaye and admitting failure will result in his disposition towards you dropping by ten.
• Quest Stages 10 and 15 are never set.

1		Kaye has asked me to go to Asha-Ahhe Egg Mine and hunt for a witch named Thelsa Dral. When I am sure she is dead, I should return and report to Kaye.
5		I told Kaye I wasn't going to hunt the witch Thelsa Dral in Asha-Ahhe Egg Mine. He was disappointed, and told me not to come back for at least a day. He told me to decide whether I was serious about serving the Imperial cult before I ask him again for a shrine sergeant mission.
10		When I asked in the village of Khuul about the Ashe-Ahhe Egg Mine, I was told the miners there think the mine is cursed.
15		I spoke to a miner in Ashe-Ahhe Egg Mine. He says there's something evil in the mine. There are voices, but there's nobody there. There are things moving in the dark, but when you shine the light, there's nothing there. The miner mentioned a lake in particular, and said he won't go down there any more.
50	Finishes quest	I told Kaye that I found the witch Thelsa Dral in Asha-Ahhe Egg Mine, and made sure she was dead. Kaye seemed glad to see me back safe. He gave me a firestone ring and told me to speak to him again when I am ready for another mission.
