Detailed Walkthrough

Starting Off

Speak to Gaius:

"I have some news for you, but I'm afraid it's a bit of a mixed bag."

Any good news?

"I've got a plan that will seriously undermine the goblin alliance. Dangerous and blasphemous. Right up your alley. Now for the bad news... I've heard back from the Empire. They say they ""simply lack the resources"" to help us with our goblin problem. That's everything."

What's wrong?

"I've heard back from the Empire. They say they ""simply lack the resources"" to help us with our goblin problem. Fortunately, there's some good news. I've got a plan that will seriously undermine the goblin alliance. Dangerous and blasphemous. Right up your alley. That's everything."

Either leads to:

Okay, what's the plan?

"We're going to plant another one of our goblin banners."

"We"?

"You know what I mean."

So, it's the same plan.

"Not exactly!"

He will then go on to say:

"I've located a statue of Malacath that the goblins consider a religious artifact. An awful Daedra for awful little creatures. Antoine, one of our stone masons, saw the goblins carrying the statue into a cave. Go in, steal it and then plant the banner. Should be simple."

That could anger the Daedra...

"Yes, yes, I know. Does that mean you won't do it?"

That's what it means.

"Pity. Didn't know you were the superstitious type. Farewell."

No, I'll do it.

"Wonderful. Antoine will take you to the cave. Speak to him before leaving if you want more information."

My kind of job.

"I thought so. If you want more information before heading out, talk to Antoine."

You can then speak to Antoine Nestal for more information:

"Hello, Warrior."

Gaius tells me you saw some goblins.

"Goodness, yes. Yesterday afternoon, I was collecting stones from a nearby cave.
Thank the Divines I saw them first. An entire group of them! They were carrying a dreadful statue covered in what appeared to be blue paint.
It was enchanting, and terrifying. It reminded me of the Daedric Princes.
I dared not move for some time. I had to be certain I wasn't noticed..."

Post-Quest

Once you return, you will speak to Gaius:

"How did it go?"

Just as planned.

"So it seems. I've seen the statue already. It is quite unnerving. I've had it locked up in the town treasury. It won't bother anyone there. I doubt we'll hear from the goblins much anymore. Thank you for your help. You may have saved us all a lot of trouble."
