Quest-Related Events

Labor Dispute

After collecting Stormfist weapons and speaking to Eitaki's siblings in the mine, you will need to find Jomund. The foreman will call you from a platform and he will be in cover:

Jomund Snowmead: "Over here!"

You will give him the weapons to arm the miners and he will ask you to deal with the Stormfist leader in the inner chambers:

"Keep your voice down."

You must be Jomund.

"I am. Saw you helping some of the others. I've been sneaking around, sabotaging what I can. Sometimes I pretend to work. Sometimes I wear their armor and go where I want. They don't really pay that much attention.
Did my wife, Eitaki, send you?"

She asked me to give you these weapons.

"Excellent! We're strong and we're determined. With weapons, we can rout Fildgor's troops.
Their leader, Magister Osanne, has been investigating the deeper chambers. And that worries me."

What can I do next?

"The mine is as good as ours again, thanks to you!
I could use your help against the Stormfist leader, though."

If you exit the conversation before turning in the quest, he will alternatively say:

"I'm glad you're on our side!"

I'm glad I could help. (Leads to quest completion dialogue)

Mystery Metal

If you have not started the quest yet, he will say:

"I could use your help, friend."

Speaking to him to start the quest:

"Keep your voice down."

You mentioned the leader of the Stormfists? (Leads to quest dialogue)

Continuing on from the previous conversation, the miners hide a magical ore sample and the research notes from the Stormfist leader. He would like you to retrieve them before the Stormfists get their hands on them:

"Magister Osanne. She searches the deeper chambers.
We broke into an ice cave and found an ore we had never seen. It seems to have magical properties. Before we could determine anything else, these thugs arrived."

Does Magister Osanne know about the mystery metal?

"We hid the sample and our research notes, but I think the magister is suspicious. She's looking for something back there.
I'd like you to retrieve the research notes and the ore sample."

I can do that.

He suggest you could disguise yourself as a Stormfist to grab the notes:

"We were in a rush, so we hid our notes in an urn on the scaffolding in the next chamber. We left an ore sample in there, too. But there's a chance Osanne found it.
You could disguise yourself and grab the notes."

Where would I get one of the Stormfist uniforms?

"Crates of uniforms are scattered throughout the mine. There's a crate right there.
Just be careful. They don't notice you if walk around like you own the place, but Osanne's guards might be more alert than the average Stormfist thug."

If you speak to him again:

"Keep your voice down."

Where did you hide the notes and the ore sample?

"We were in a rush…"<repeats from above>

After recovering the research notes and the ore sample, he will be by the west dig still in cover. He will share good news that most of the Stormfists have been driven off by the miners and he needs you to recover the rest of the ore from the trolls:

"Over here, friend. How did you fare?"

I recovered the ore sample and the notes.

"That's good news. While you were doing that, my miners drove off most of the Orcthane's troops. Milk-drinkers, every last one of them! We'll clean out the stragglers.
I have one more favor to ask of you."

What else do you need?

"That chamber, the one where we found the mysterious metal … we left some of the ore in there. But the trolls, they seem attracted to the stuff. They won't let us near it.
Deal with the trolls and recover the rest of the ore. I'll meet you outside."

Speaking to him again:

"The chamber is right through there, past the barricade. Just be careful of the trolls."

After recovering the remaining ore, you'll find Jomund alongside his wife in front of the lodge:

"Thanks to you, the mine is ours again."

I found more ore.

"Thanks. I'm grateful that the mine is once again safely under our control.
I sure would like to learn more about this mysterious metal, though."

Alchemical Analysis

If you have not started the quest, he will say

"Thanks to you, the mine is ours again."

What about that mysterious ore? (Leads to quest dialogue)

Continuing on from the previous conversation, he would like you to send the ore to Aleeto at Fort Amol so it can be studied:

"I'm almost sorry we discovered that mysterious metal. I don't know what to do with it, but I don't want King Jorunn's enemies to have it, either.
A friend of mine at Fort Amol might be able to tell us more about the metal."

Do you want me to take the ore to Fort Amol?

"That would be extremely helpful. The Argonian, Aleeto, is an alchemist. She tinkers with metals and crystals and dabbles in all kinds of magic. She'd be able to identify the metal.
You can find her in the Alchemist Shop in Fort Amol."

I'll take the ore to Aleeto.

After the quests:

"Thanks to you, the mine is ours again."
