Previously, Davilas did the Thieves Guild quest "Hard Answers". Now, he will do the next quest, "The Pursuit". He must meet Karliah at the Ragged Flagon.

After resuming, Davilas fast-travels to Riften. The shortcut to the Ragged Flagon Cistern is locked, maybe for plot reasons, so Davilas has to go in through the Ratway.

When Davilas arrives at the Ragged Flagon, he meets up with Karliah. After speaking with her briefly, he follows her to the Ragged Flagon Cistern. There, a scene takes place with Brynjolf, Karliah, Vex, and Delvin. Looks like Gallus's journal was correct.

Davilas talks to Brynjolf at the desk. After Davilas reveals what he knows, Brynjolf tells him to infiltrate Riftweald Manor, Mercer's house in Riften. He tells Davilas about a way into the house and warns him about a "watchdog", Vald. Davilas can speak to Vex about Vald.

Out in the Ragged Flagon, Davilas talks to Vex about Vald. Davilas gets the objective "Talk to Maven about Vald's debt".

Davilas talks to Delvin Mallery and sells him the Honningbrew Decanter and Dwarven Puzzle Box he found during his plundering.

When Davilas finds the back gate to Riftweald Manor, he meets Vald. Vald won't step aside unless Davilas kills him or gets Maven to erase his debt.

Davilas finds Maven Black-Briar around town. She will only forgive Vald's debt if Davilas finds the Quill of Gemination that sank into Lake Honrich when Vald wrecked his boat. This starts the objective "Locate the Quill of Gemination under Lake Honrich".

Davilas leaves town and begins searching the lake between Goldenglow Estate and Riften. Vald's Strongbox is located on the lakebed along with some other boat flotsam. When Davilas picks it open and gets the quill, he must "Bring the Quill of Gemination to Maven".

Fast-traveling back to Riften, Davilas meets Maven and hands over the Quill of Gemination. She gives him Vald's Debt. This concludes the Quill of Gemination objectives.

At the rear of Riftweald Manor, Davilas talks to Vald. In exchange for the debt, Vald hands over Mercer's House Key and lets Davilas in. To gain entry, Davilas shoots the mechanism to lower the ramp to the second floor.

Then, he enters Riftweald Manor. He must find evidence of Mercer's location. There are some bandits to take care of in the house.

Davilas can go downstairs to the first floor and then the basement. Some delightful traps wait in the basement. Farther down, Davilas finds a display case with the Chillrend, a good one-handed sword. On the desk, he finds "The Red Kitchen Reader", which increases Sneak. There is a cryptic note named "Many Thanks". Davilas takes "Mercer's Plans", which he must take to Brynjolf.

The lower exit from Riftweald Manor leads down to the Ratway Vaults. From there, it is an easy route to the Ragged Flagon.

In the Ragged Flagon Cistern, Davilas hands over Mercer's Plans to Brynjolf. This concludes "The Pursuit".

The next quest, "Trinity Restored", begins right away. Davilas must speak to Karliah. So, Davilas approaches Karliah in the middle of the Cistern. She wants Brynjolf and Davilas to meet her at a standing stone south of Riften.

Next time, Davilas will head south out of Riften and meet Karliah at the old standing stone mentioned.

Thanks for watching!
