2. Speak to Bryling about the late shipment and receive a reward.

Detailed Walkthrough

Go to Stonehills and speak to Pactur inside Sorli's House. Ask him if he owns the mine, then continue the conversation until he asks you to take a message to Bryling. It doesn't matter what choices you make in the preceding conversation, all of them lead to Pactur asking to deliver the message:

Do you own the mine?

"No, and before you ask, it's not for sale."

I wasn't asking.

"I'm just protecting Bryling's investment. She's the owner, even though we're the ones here doing all the work. She's already come down hard on us for missing shipments. Likely to do it again, since we're late."

Do you get many offers?

"Well, no. But that's not the point. Bryling owns the mine, and she's not selling. We make her some decent coin running this place. Keeps her living well in Solitude. At least, when we can get shipments to her. We're late on the last one. I expect her to start breathin' fire any moment now."

Is there any way I can help?

"You could take word to her that there'll be a shipment soon. Buy us some time and keep her off our backs. In exchange, I'm willing to let a few ingots go missing. Maybe more than a few."

I'll go see Bryling for you.

"You're doing me quite a favor. I won't forget it. I'm sure she'll be angry. Brace yourself."

Go to Solitude and find Thane Bryling, either at the Blue Palace by day, or at her house nearby at night. Tell her you have a message from Pactur. After informing her that the shipment will arrive soon, Bryling will reward you with a small amount of gold:

Pactur asked me to deliver a message.

"Is everything all right? I've not heard from Sorli or Pactur in some time."

Everything is fine. The shipment will be here soon.

"That's good news. I was starting to fear something had happened.
You have my thanks."

Notes

• Despite Pactur mentioning he will let you take ingots as a reward for delivering the message to Bryling, you can already take the ingots around the smelter without penalty.
• With either Hearthfire or the Unofficial Skyrim Patch installed, Pactur will move to Morthal if Sorli takes over as Jarl.

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 FreeformStonehillsA 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 FreeformStonehillsA.
