Initial Wave: Escaped Criminal

Quest Giver: Skjor

Quest Giver: Vilkas

Speak with either Skjor or Vilkas, and he informs you that a wanted fugitive is fleeing from authorities, who are able to pay for the killing of the criminal. You are to locate this ne’er-do-well, face him in combat, and make sure he dies.

Set off to the location indicated on your world map, with the express intention of slaying this criminal. As the troublemaker may be flanked by foes who normally reside in this location, prepare for attacks throughout the criminal’s hideout. When you finally reach the criminal in question, there’s no pleading and no stalling, just a quick and justified death.

Quest Conclusion

Return to Jorrvaskr and seek out Skjor or Vilkas. Inform him that the criminal has been brought to justice—Companion justice—and he is satisfied with your progress. You receive a cut of the reward.
