The scamps are coming out of the caves

Scamps are boiling up out of the ground, no doubt excited by the freeing of Balreth. Sergeant Jagyr asked for my help dealing with them. Collapsing the entrances to caves in Ash Mountain should do the job.

Quick WalkthroughEdit

1. Talk to Sergeant Jagyr.
2. Close the caves.
3. Talk to Captain Norra.

Detailed WalkthroughEdit

Across the bridge from the main Pact camp at Ash Mountain, a few soldiers are desperately trying to fend off a swarm of Daedra. Sergeant Jagyr is leading the troop, but he is starting to despair:

"The scamps do not know fear.
Troll's blood, I've tried to teach them."

How can I aid you?

"By the soul of Ysgramor! That's what I like to hear. It's the damned scamps! Without the lads in the way, they'd overrun us all.
Scouts tracked them back to caves on the mountainside."

We need to close those caves.

"We've got pickaxes, but it's nigh impossible to collapse a mountain and fight at the same time.
We'll keep those scamps busy while you collapse the entrances. Don't worry. There should be plenty of fighting."

I'll get those caves closed, Sergeant.

You will be handed a Pickaxe and a set of three objectives, one for each cave. Head past the Sergeant and up the mountain, fighting or evading the Daedra along the way. The nearest cave is the southernmost one. Activate it to swing your pickaxe and collapse the entrance. The central cave is next, very close by. Lastly, the north scamp cave is just past the river of lava that crosses the path. Jump over, close the cave, and your journal will direct you to speak to Captain Norra. She's standing by the large Daedric ruin where you restore the guardians to imprison Balreth.

When you talk to her, she will be amazed.

"How did you make it through the Daedra, stranger?

We're having a damned hard time just holding back the tide."

Sergeant Jagyr sent me. I've collapsed the scamp cave entrances.

"So you helped out Sergeant Jagyr, all by yourself?
That's the best news I've heard all day. If the lot of us don't die tonight, I'll buy you a drink."

This concludes the quest; you will receive a small amount of gold and experience, as well as the Scampstamper Sabatons.

Notes

* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.

• 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 any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
