Maybe I still have some time before my descent into the crypt? Helgarth seemed very depressed when we broke up. He seems to be taking the Countess' fate hard. It can't hurt if I pay him a visit in Bruma and talk about a few personal things.

I will be traveling with Helgarth to his home village, to see what happened to his tribe, since he had to leave them. I should talk to Helgarth once I have completed my preparations.

Here we go. The trip over the passes of the Jerall Mountains can begin. I suspect that Helgarth's village is located far inside the mountain, in the heart of Skyrim.

The ice giant is dead. Helgarth and I have defeated him!

Helgarth has found Svala. Dead. He seems close to despair. So close that he even blames me for it. I think we've talked enough for now. I should give him some time to think about everything.

The return journey was quiet. Helgarth spoke not a word, and I held back with attempts to talk. Finally, we are back in Bruma, have an arduous journey behind us, and have gained another tragic reminder.

Finishes quest
(Player didn't start the quest in time; quest is failed.)
The following empty quest stages were omitted from the table: 5, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 85, 90, 105.
Notes
Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in random order.
If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
It is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage ODDHQ12HelQuest stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages. See SetStage for more information.
