Wood Elf with a Grievance is a miscellaneous quest in The Elder Scrolls III: Tribunal.
Background[]
High-Pockets, who can be encountered in Godsreach, claims that he was badly treated by Holmar. He is offended and wants revenge. He asks the Nerevarine to help him get it.
Objectives[]
- Talk to High-Pockets and agree to help.
- When talking to Holmar there are the following options:
- Persuade Holmar to leave.
- Provoke a fight. Knock Holmar out or kill him,
- Buy Holmar more drinks until he passes out.
- Alternatively, give a copy of Saryoni's Sermons to High-Pockets.
- Return after two days and talk to High-Pockets.
Walkthrough[]
High-Pockets can be encountered outside The Winged Guar in Godsreach. If accepting to help him, he follows the Nerevarine until the quest is completed.
Holmar can be found inside the Winged Guar, drunk. The Nerevarine can decide to fight him, solving the quest by killing him or knocking him out. Alternatively, he can persuade him to leave the bar. The last option would be to offer him more drinks, which results in him passing out. Offering Holmar drinks costs 60
.
There is an alternative way to solve this quest, if the Nerevarine happens to be in possession of a copy of the book Saryoni's Sermons. If mentioning it to High-Pockets, he asks if he could borrow it to read. Giving the book to him results in him reading the books during two days. After that time, he decides to dedicate his life to the Tribunal Temple, abandoning his thirst for revenge and giving all his possession to the Nerevarine.
Reward[]
Depending on the way the quest is solved, there are different rewards as follows.
- If the Nerevarine confronts Holmar in one way or the other:
- 250
- Ring of Icegrip
- 250
- If they give the book to him so that he converts to the faith, High-Pockets will hand over all his possessions:
