  5. Talk to Captain Jimila.

Detailed Walkthrough[edit]

You can start the quest by speaking with Captain Jimila aboard her ship docked outside of Anvil:

"Well, what have we here? You certainly don't look like one of those Red Sails extortionists that have been bleeding me dry."
The Red Sails have been shaking you down?
"I can abide fees at an honest port, but Anvil presents a non-stop barrage of whatever the Governor's lackeys feel like enforcing! Uneven gangplank fees, loose mooring taxes, barnacle inspection!
Hmm. You're not from around here, are you?"
No, I'm not from Anvil.
"Care to help me turn the tide on these crooks then? I happen to know that their swindler of a Dock Master doesn't trust his gold to Anvil's banks.
If you help me pay the fool out of his own pocket, you can keep the lion's share of the bounty."
I'm game. What's your plan?
"I don't know precisely where Qamar hides his gold, but I do know the lazy oaf uses a few trusted lackeys to deliver deposits when he can't be bothered. They often dice on the docks.
If you're convincing, I'm sure they'll reveal the location to you."

You can speak with the captain some more after starting the quest to learn more information. Once ready, head to Anvil's docks and look for some Red Sail pirates playing dice and start asking them some questions. You can pay Ubra to give you an answer, Intimidate Lucky Gurg, or Persuade Knuckle-Bones.

Once you have your answer, head west outside of Anvil and look for a chest in a small cave guarded by a River Troll. Open it, and return to Captain Jimila. As you approach, you will see her and Dockmaster Qamar talking. Talk to Captain Jimila.

"My friend, you've arrived at a bad time. I'm playing host to the king of skeevers and he hasn't the sense to know that he's outstayed his welcome."
I just wanted to see how negotiations were going. <Slip Her Qamar's Stash>
"Ha! Negotiations? Call it what it is! Ransom! Extortion! It would save us so much time if they just dropped the pretenses and robbed me!"
"Good work. Let me pay this fool and get rid of him."
I'll leave you to your business then.

Watch the exchange, and talk to Captain Jimila.

"I almost bit my tongue trying not to laugh! Qamar doesn't so much strut as slosh about like a half-filled waterskin."
"He's completely oblivious to the misfortune that just visited him. It's too much!."
Wasn't it a bit risky to threaten him like that?
"It was what he expected of me. Being too quick to accept defeat may have aroused his suspicion."
"He seemed convinced, so he may not notice the theft for some time, let alone suspect us as the culprits."
I'll take my share now.
"Here. That's what most of what's left after I paid off that walking canker. Thanks to you, I might break even on this voyage."
"Enjoy your time in Anvil, friend. I hope to never see these despicable docks again."

Notes
* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
  • 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 any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
