Quick WalkthroughEdit
Detailed WalkthroughEdit
You can start the quest by talking to the Clan Mother, Kalari or Ezzag, but also after helping the last ones they will direct you to Milk Eyes, a blind Khajiit who seems to have some rats problems recently.
When you ask him what he needs from you, he'll reply that you should kill the pest which gathers in the well.
- You want me to get rid of them?
- "I'd do it myself, but if Clan Mother Shuzura found out I'd gone down there she'd string me up.
Get down there, roust out those rats, and make sure they can't get back in." - I'll see what I can do.
- "All right, you know what's what. Now stop jawing at me and get rid of those rats!"
You can then ask him some questions, only to discover the Clan Mother would like to "see" him more often, and that he sees her as a crazy woman who likes herself and her opinions too much. He believes that if she has really been in love with him she'd have sent someone earlier.
As you start looking around for rats in Rainshadow Cave inside the well, you come across some smugglers and their skooma lab, as well as a Khajiit who's not totally unknown to you : Tazia. She seems a little frightened.
- "Keep your voice down. Tazia has no interest in slavery today, thank you."
- What's going on? Who are these people?
- "While you were talking to Milk Eyes, Tazia was patching some holes in the well, and … well. She fell in.
It looks like the old cat has bigger problems than rats! Do you smell that? They're running a skooma lab down here!" - What are we going to do?
- "Tazia is going to hide right here. She's no smuggler-killer. As for what you should do, the chemicals they use are very flammable. You might be able to smash up the tables. Then just find a torch or a lamp. Burn the lab all at once!"
- I'll smash the tables and burn the lab.
You can then smash the Lab Tables and set the whole place alight like you were told. As the skooma lab keeps burning, there's an explosion and Tazia have to drag you outside. She compliments you :
- "Are you well? That was quite the show."
- What happened?
- "Tazia grabbed you, got you out of there. There was an explosion, like we hoped, and then smoke and fumes from the skooma. We won't have to worry about that lab anymore."
- You pulled me out?
- "Tazia just did what anyone would have done, she thinks.
Ahem. Tazia will go tell the Clan Mother what has happened here. You go tell Milk Eyes his 'rats' are gone, yes?" - I will. And thank you, Tazia.
And so, the next step is exiting the cave to go back to Milk Eyes's House and explain to the blind Khajiit that his rats were in fact skooma dealers working for the last Clan Mother's assistant. Milk Eyes will be suspicious :
- "I smell smoke. What happened?"
- There were no rats in your well. Smugglers set up a skooma lab.
- "Rrr! A skooma lab? In my well? Get me my blade! It's around here somewhere.
We'll go back down there together. You just point me in their direction and I'll cut them to giblets." - They're all dead, Milk Eyes. I destroyed the lab.
- "Hmmph. Nice work.
I'll get Clan Mother Shuzura to have Tazia seal up the cave, clean up my well, and such. She's good at such things."
He gives you your reward and then sends you to Ezzag or Kalari if you haven't help them before or to the Clan Mother instead if all the problems in town are already solved.
NotesEdit
- The lantern used to set off the explosion won't exist in the cave before starting the quest or reaching the related objective.
- Despite a 15 seconds timer to get out appearing after burning the lab, it becomes irrelevant as the screen immediately goes black when the ensuing explosion occurs and you are automatically booted outside the cave.
BugsEdit
- Despite blowing up the cave, it can still be accessed afterward from the well entrance. Everything inside will be the same as it was when first accessed, including the smugglers enemies still being present. ?

- 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.
