You have been expelled from the Mages Guild. Come back after making amends.

I already gave you the package for Ethalvora.

Excellent. Here are the items I've got for your boss. Nothing out of the usual, but we did get this odd helmet off a group of cultists headed up to the mountains. Maybe she can make something of it. Tell Ethalvora it's a pleasure doing business, as always. Now, you seem like a trustworthy %PCClass. I've got a trifling matter I need handled. You handle it, I'll toss in a grand soul gem, just for you. What do you say?

Best make yourself scarce then, %PCClass.

Don't mess around, %PCClass. This ain't that kind of joint. Bring me my gold, and you'll get your package. Not before.

You're with the Mages Guild? You have my money?

You already collected the package I needed, %PCName.

You have my package? Great, let's see what Malmas has collected for us this time... ugh, frost salts again? And the rest of it... this is all junk. Keep it, sell it, I don't care. But -- what's this? This strange artifact seems interesting, at least. It is similar to -- ah, but I'm getting ahead of myself. What are you doing, standing there, %PCRank? Waiting for more duties?

Like I said, I need you to collect my package of items from Kurhu.

First you must travel to Arvud, either by silt strider or on foot, following the south road. Once you reach Arvud, take the road south until you come to a junction, and then follow the Kragenmoor road west. If you reach the ruin of Ald Balaal, you have gone too far. Before it, you will come across a stone cairn overlooking a field of tarpits, south of the road. Travel southwest through the field, over the ridge, and keep that heading until you reach the cave of Kurhu. Go quickly now, %PCrank.

Kurhu is a cave trading post in the Armun Ashlands. I have a standing arrangement with the leader of the outpost to collect items of magical interest that may... fall into his hands. Go to Kurhu, deliver this gold to Malmas Habattu, and bring me whatever items he gives back in exchange. Now, listen carefully to my directions: Kurhu can be difficult to find.
