Take the Tong's blades before they can be used against you. Quest Giver: Tattara Location(s): Andothren, Bthuangthuv Prerequisite Quest: Good Fences, Good Neighbors Next Quest: Thoricles' Bane Reward: Illegal Jinkblade Disposition: +10 (Tattara) Reputation Gain: +5 (Thieves Guild) ID: TR_m4_TG_Tattara1; TR_m4_TG_Tattara1B; TR_m4_TG_Tattara1C

Quick Walkthrough

1. Talk to Tattara in Bthuangthuv about jobs and disarming the Tong.
2. Speak to Pogonophilus Luctor at Andothren's Port Authority about illegal jinkblades and either:
   • Pose as a Camonna Tong member (must be Dark Elf).
   • Persuade him to give you the Andothren Port Authority Key (requires 90+ disposition).
   • Break into the storeroom on the fourth floor.
3. Bring five Illegal Jinkblades to Tattara.

Notes

• This is one of three side jobs that can be begun after Good Fences, Good Neighbors. Only one of these quests needs to be completed to unlock Thoricles' Bane, but completion of all three will be needed to unlock Scandalous Letters.
• This quest can be begun before Tattara's second request for payment (TR_m4_TG_Tattara2), but will become unavailable if you refuse that request, as Tattara will leave the guild.
• If this quest is not begun until after Sugary Business, Camonna Tong thugs in town will wield illegal jinkblades in their attacks.
• After this quest is completed, Thieves Guild members in Bthuangthuv will equip the blades.
