Detailed Walkthrough[edit]

Southwest of the Starved Plain, not far from Davon's Watch, you'll find the Ashlander Shuldrashi perched on a rock. As you approach she'll wonder aloud about the whereabouts of a "blasted lizard". When spoken to, she will reminisce:

"I remember when I'd hunt here for days and not see a soul. The war was on, and people stayed behind walls or stuck to roads. Those days are behind us."
What are you doing out here?
"Like I said, I was hunting. But now that the volcano's erupted, I'm headed to Deshaan. Don't want to get cooked. I'll be leaving as soon as my s'wit of a partner shows up.
You haven't run into an Argonian named Stands-In-Still-Water, have you?"
No, I haven't
"He's a good friend, but he never shuts up. Nothing "Still" about him. He was supposed to meet me here, but I've waited too long already.
If you're heading north of Ash Mountain can you keep an eye out for him? He should have a camp up there."
If I find him I'll tell him you're looking for him.

Head north and west towards Ash Mountain, skirting around the lava flows before making your way along the ocean-side cliffs to an overlook near Daen Seeth Dolmen. Here is a small camp with a tent and a journal — and the corpse of Stands-In-Still-Water, guarded by a boss-level Alit. Defeat the creature and examine Still-Water's body.

<The Argonian's body is just starting to cool.>
<Examine the body.>
<Stands-In-Still-Water seems to have been ripped open by an alit. His dagger is still sheathed at his side, an obvious sigil on the hilt.>
<Take the dagger.>

Time to tell Shuldrashi the bad news. Head south and west; it's quite a ways by foot, just outside Kragenmoor, at the farm Shuldrashi mentioned. You'll find her sitting in the shade of a mushroom.

"You arrive alone. Either you didn't find him, or I need a new hunting partner."
I'm sorry. I found this dagger on his body. I thought you might want it.
"Thank you for this. That's it, then. Stonefalls holds nothing for me now. I'll set out for Deshaan presently. Perhaps I'll see you down the road."

She will give you a small amount of gold and the quest will be complete.

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.
