Previously, Davilas carried out the Thieves Guild quest "Scoundrel's Folly". Now, he will do the next quest in the line, "Speaking with Silence". He must rendezvous with Mercer Frey at Snow Veil Sanctum, which is north of Windhelm and southeast of Winterhold.
After resuming, Davilas fast-travels to Snow Veil Sanctum, which he has already discovered. Upon arrival, he meets Mercer Frey. Mercer joins Davilas as a temporary follower.
At the entrance to Snow Veil Catacombs, Mercer Frey picks the lock. Then, Davilas and Mercer head inside. Davilas's follower cannot follow him in here, at least for now. Plenty of draugr await within this place. Look out for traps, as well. Mercer is a capable combatant, but his sneakiness needs some work. He is marked as essential to the plot, so don't worry about him dying.
In the depths of the dungeon, Davilas finds the entrance to the second part of the area, Snow Veil Sanctum.
Upon reaching Level 25, the player earns the trophy "Expert". At Level 25, Davilas increases his Stamina. Under One-Handed, he gets the perk Fighting Stance, which reduces the stamina cost of power attacks with one-handed weapons by 25 percent.
Mercer will warn Davilas about danger ahead when they reach the iron door leading to the boss room. Some powerful draugr will come to live, such as a Draugr Death Overlord. Nasty things.
In the boss room, there is a word wall where Davilas learns the first word of the Disarm shout, Weapon. There is also a boss chest on the high ground.
Davilas and Mercer soon find a puzzle door. Mercer picks it open, but unfortunately, he does not share the secret. As Davilas goes through the door, a scene takes place. They have found Karliah, but things are not quite the way Davilas has learned. Mercer demonstrates the old axiom "no honor among thieves".
Afterwards, Davilas awakens at Karliah's camp outside the dungeon. She explains her side of things. This concludes the quest "Speaking with Silence".
Then, she assigns Davilas the next quest, "Hard Answers". She gives him Gallus's Encoded Journal and tells him to meet Enthir in the town of Winterhold to get the journal translated.
Next time, Davilas will do the quest "Hard Answers".
