Initial Wave: Hired Muscle

Quest Giver: Farkas

Tell Farkas that you’re looking for work. As it happens, he has received a letter requesting some “muscle.” Farkas doesn’t know what the fight is about, and it isn’t the Companions’ business anyway, but he needs you to head to the place of the altercation and scare the ruffian into submission. This is to be a roughing up, not a killing!

(Brawl) Journey to the location where the troublemaker is causing a fuss, Journey to the location where the troublemaker is causing a fuss. Step up to the annoyance, and explain that you’re here to resolve a dispute. Then pummel them in a brawl until they collapse to the ground. Do not kill them, as this reduces your reward.

Quest Conclusion

Return to Jorrvaskr and seek out Farkas. Inform him of your success at pummeling some sense into the troublemaker. You’re given some coin for your troubles.
