Rescue prisoners from Thrall Cove
Spencer Rye runs a finder's business and uses the Thieves Guild to track down his quarries. Helping him will surely reflect well on your skill as a thief, and be lucrative to boot.


Quick Walkthrough[edit]

  1. Accept the task from Reacquisition Board outside of the Thieves Den.
  2. Rescue the captives and retrieve the Captain's Spyglass from Thrall Cove.
  3. Return to Spencer Rye.

Detailed Walkthrough[edit]

The spyglass is located in the middle of the cove

Read the Reacquisitions Board outside Thieves Den. There is a new message, announcing:

"A captain and his crew ran afoul of Maormer at Thrall Cove. The captain wants any crewmen that survived rescued, but also the return of his treasured spyglass. Only seasoned adventurers need apply. See Spencer Rye with the spyglass to collect the reward."

Head to the Thrall Cove, located on the western coast of Hew's Bane. The Captain's Spyglass can be found in a "Ditty Bag" near the Maormer Captain Virindi Slave-Taker. Attacking nearby NPCs will trigger the boss fight, so it's necessary to sneak up to it and quickly run away if you're attempting to recover the spyglass solo.

With sufficient sneak skills, you can get within range of taking the spyglass but the act of taking it will trigger the boss fight if the boss hasn't just been defeated. The fastest flee route is into the water since the NPCs won't pursue into water. You'll need enough health to survive being hit with some ranged weapons until you swim out of range.

The prisoners are scattered around the cove.

Once you have collected the spyglass and rescued three prisoners, head back to Spencer Rye outside the Thieves Den and inform him of the task completed. He will give you some gold as a reward.

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.
