  • 50

    I received a hastily written letter from Viriya. I should read what it has to say.

  • 100

    Viriya received a letter from Jarl <Alias=Jarl> in Dawnstar. The frenzied mudcrabs have emerged once again. When the Dawnstar guard arrived, they were attacked by a spirit that caused them to flee in terror. Viriya is already on her way to Dawnstar and asked for my assistance. I should answer the call and return to the shore west of Dawnstar.

  • 200

    I have arrived once again at the shore west of Dawnstar. The signs of a recent battle scar the surrounding area where Viriya and a handful of guards have stood their ground against a mudcrab horde. As I approached, the frenzied mudcrabs began to emerge from the sea again. I should help Viriya and the guards defeat them.

  • 210

    I've helped Viriya and the guards defeat a wave of frenzied mudcrabs, but more are coming. I should take a moment to prepare for the next assault.

  • 215

    Another wave of frenzied mudcrabs have emerged from the sea west of Dawnstar, this time more numerous than ever. We will need to fend them off once more.

  • 225

    After several hard-fought battles, the frenzied mudcrab attacks have stopped for now. We should regroup inside the shack nearby.

  • 235

    Now that we've regrouped after the battle, I should speak to Viriya inside the shack.

  • 300

    The guardian spirit of a massive emperor crab has materialized off the coast, along with a new wave of mudcrabs. The guardian spirit is too large to be harmed by normal means. However, I should be able to use the catapults the guards have put in position nearby. The mudcrabs seem to have collected the flaming pots from the wrecked wagon near the shack. I will have to recover them from the mudcrabs and use them to fire the catapults at the guardian spirit.

  • 500

    Using the catapults, I managed to vanquish the emperor crab guardian spirit. The swarms of frenzied mudcrabs have come to an end. I should speak to Viriya now that the battle is over.

  • 600

    In the aftermath of the battle, Viriya thanked me for helping defeat the guardian spirit of the emperor crab. The guards must tend to their wounds, and Viriya will make the long journey back to Riften. The emperor crab guardian spirit and its horde of frenzied mudcrabs should no longer threaten the people of Dawnstar. I should travel to Dawnstar and inform the Jarl that the battle was a success.
