Light the fire to send the signal
Boulderfall Pass has been attacked by Sinmur and the Reachmen. The soldiers defending this area need my help.


Quick Walkthrough[edit]

  1. Talk to Centurion Gjakil.
  2. Assist the Pact Soldiers.
  3. Find Captain Jardirr.
  4. Light the signal fire.
  5. Report to Captain Jardirr.

Detailed Walkthrough[edit]

Centurion Gjakil asks for your assistance at Boulderfall Pass. Captain Jardirr ran to face the invading Reachmen a while ago and hasn't returned. He asks you to help the Pact Soldiers fighting on the front lines and see if they have any idea where the Captain's gone. You can ask the centurion if he has anything to help you against all the lurchers that are bumbling about. He points you to Murmurs-to-Trees, who gives you five Lurcher Wards to stun the beasts.

Head out into the field and find five Pact Soldiers who are fighting Reachmen. Help them kill their opponents to save them. Once you've saved the fifth soldier, they'll tell you that the Captain is holed up in a cave south of the pass. Head over to that cave and find the captain inside. She seems a bit jarred, but nothing too serious is wrong with her. She asks that you light the signal fire at the top of the hill to the north of here, past the Three Tribes Camp. The captain wants to warn Riften of Sinmur's escape, and the treated wood in the signal fire will allow it to burn thick enough for the smoke to be seen from Windhelm.

Head north into the Reachmen's camp. Enter the Signal Fire Tower and use the fire starter on the wood. The flames need time to eat away at the wood and produce smoke. Several Stonetalon Initiates will smell the fire starting and attempt to put it out with their magic. Kill the Reachmen as the fire roars to life and return to Captain Jardirr back at the Pact's base in Boulderfall. There, she rewards you for your efforts.

Notes
* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game 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.
