Quest start
After waiting 3-7 days (depending on their healing of Balz), the party can come back to the Ebonheart docks to the Camonna Tong boat. ''Down in the hold of the boat, J'Krin is not on the boat but Balz and Bobby are speaking. Bobby's right arm is in a sling from the explosion. The party come into earshot, hearing Bobby: "-kid, don't feel guilty, it wasn't your fault. The Dunmer set us up n' we all got cocky. It doesn't matter." He pauses. "Look, life's like a bridge n' everyone's buildin' their own tryna get to the other side where the ash is grey-er or whatever. Sometimes people's cross n' they fuck up other's, but that's what friends're for. And whether you finish that bridge or not, if you're happy buildin' it then that's all that matters. I'm happy buildin' mine, an' I know you don't know where yours is goin' but I'm gonna help you build it till you do." He pauses again, the party see Balz look up at Bobby. "We're all proud'a you kid." They hug.'' The party can walk over. ''As the party gets close Balz wipes his eye and looks at the party; Bobby continues, grabbing Balz by the shoulder: "And for now, we're here, we're ALIVE, why would we complain? For now I'm gonna love and ride by my mother's name, you can share in that if you want, you are family after all... Anyways!" Bobby rolls out a carpet containing all of the things they took from the Hlaalu Vaults: "Worth 183 thousand 567, this assortment of goods was procured by the finest thieves in the continent." J'Krin walks into the ships hold where every else is slurping from a bowl of soup. Bobby continues: "A cut of 183567/(Party size + 3) per person, unless any of this looks good to you?"'' On the carpet among 4817 loose gold is: ''Bobby directs the party to a crate, containing their cut in gold. He continues: "Whilst this holiday is over our festival of blades has just begun" he pauses, smiling.'' Any Redguards recognise he just made a pun about the Festival of Blades holiday. "Either way, over the past few days I found out about a couple of lost artefacts from the temple workers. Though not TECHNICALLY stealing, this could give us a HUGE payday, plus it'll help us hide out, being in the wilderness n' all. In Gimothran Ancestral Tomb, a theres a powerful, and more importantly expensive, staff some sorcerer stole n' is now hidin' out in the tomb. That's where we'll start. Other than that, finder's keepers. Any questions?"

Gimothran Ancestral Tomb
The players fight through the Gimothran Ancestral Tomb with Bobby, Balz, and J'Krin, J'Krin finding the staff on the body of Kuffutto Gilgar. ''J'Krin picks up a staff. She examines it, saying: "This it, y'reckon?" Before anyone has a chance to reply she glows blue, still straight faced. Balz says: "Somethin' tells me yes... Y'know you're blue, right?" J'Krin looks confused. Bobby smiles: "Must be it" reaching out for the staff, to which J'Krin hands it over. He continues: "Next, we'll meet at Mudan Grotto; south-west of Ebonheart it'll be a bit of a swim, any questions?" J'Krin chimes in "Can't w'use the boat?" To the dismay of J'Krin, Bobby says: "The water's far too shallow; we'll need to swim." Looking at the party: "We'll meet you inside."''

Mudan Grotto
Upon entering and wading through the first section's waist height water, after following a trail of dead slaughterfish the party find J'Krin, Balz, and Bobby, waiting on some dry land by a door for the party.
