Quick Walkthrough

1. Talk to Ja'kil.
2. Confront Gothian.

Detailed Walkthrough

Gothian is under the protection of the local bandit chieftain Yessil, but Ja'kil wants him for his own. Your job is to go see Gothian posing as one of Yessil's bandits. You can either keep up the pretense and say he's been outlawed, or (if you're greedy) tell him the truth - that you're working for Ja'kil. In the former case, Gothian will have no choice but to capitulate; in the latter, he'll give offer you information on getting out of the desert (if you haven't yet completed Sword Search) or 500 gold (if you have). In either case, return to Ja'kil to let him know how things turned out; if you chose the first option, you'll get the greater reward; if you chose the second, Gothian will remain under Yessil's auspices and you'll get the lesser reward.

Stage	Finishes Quest	Journal Entry

Notes

• 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 random order.
• 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.
• It is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage ODDDesertML03Quest 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. See SetStage for more information.
