Detailed Walkthrough

What a Dog's Dinner

If you manage to catch Banus Jucani while he's running around Bruma, he'll complain about his missing dog, Scruffy. He ran away when they were playing near the northern gate, and his father, Albecius Jucani, won't let him go searching for Scruffy. Once you agree to help out, your quest marker will lead you into the wilderness just southeast of Freezewind Hollow, along the road to Mountain Watch.

On arrival, you'll immediately spot Scruffy lying in the middle of the road and will be able to examine him. It doesn't look good: he's heavily bruised, missing fur in patches and has numerous cuts and scars under his skin which can't have been caused by the local wildlife. Scruffy clearly hasn't been treated well by the Jucani family, and Banus will admit as much when confronted. He mumbles that his father "sometimes accidentally bumps into Scruffy or drops things on him" before petulantly pleading you to return Scruffy to him.

At this point you have two choices. You can return Scruffy to Banus, and collect some leveled gold for your service (see table below). Alternatively, provided you have completed the quest Barnius tribute, you can bring the dog to Erlus Risula, the innkeeper at Snowstone Rest. He will be overjoyed to have a new canine companion to fill Barnius's paws, and will also reward you with 100 gold, which is substantially less than what you can receive from Banus, particularly at higher levels.

Levels	Reward
1–9	250
10–19	400
20–29	500
30–39	600
40+	750

Notes

• You can also start this quest by finding Scruffy in the wilderness and inspecting him.

Notes

• Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Quest system, 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.
• If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
• On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage CYRBrumaFF12 stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages, but it is possible to clear all stages of the quest using resetquest CYRBrumaFF12.
