Detailed Walkthrough

Duties

Chat with Edwinna Elbert in the Ald'ruhn Guild of Mages and she'll tell you she's received reports that there has been some sort of disturbance in Huleen's Hut in Maar Gan. This has distracted her from her studies, so she wants you to check it out.

Off to Maar Gan

Since there's no Mages Guild hall in Maar Gan, the fastest route is by Silt Strider. If traveling by foot, leave through the south entrance of Ald'ruhn, head west, and follow the signs northwest to Maar Gan.

When you arrive, ask around town and you'll be informed that Huleen's hut is southeast, outside of town near the temple, just east from the silt strider.

Huleen's Hut

Once inside you will be attacked by a Scamp. Defeat it and loot the key to Huleen's Hut from its corpse.

Optional: After killing the scamp, but before talking to Listien, you have the option of heading back to Edwinna. She is curious about why a scamp was loose, and wants to know if Listien is okay. Head back to Huleen's Hut.

Talk with Listien

Open the locked (level 30) door downstairs to find Listien Bierles, Huleen's apprentice. The key can be found near Listien's clothes or looted from the scamp, if you missed them earlier. Chat with Listien to find that he summoned a scamp and lost control of it, causing the trouble.

Return to Edwinna

Head back to Ald'ruhn and report to Edwinna to be rewarded with a 10 point increase in Disposition and two Scrolls of The Fifth Barrier.

Notes

• If you somehow end up killing Listien Bierles and admitting it to Edwinna, you will be expelled from the Guild. If you blame it on the scamp, you will receive the Disposition increase but not the scrolls.
• Listien disappears from the game after completing this quest.
• Huleen does not exist in the game, and the items within the hut are owned by the similarly named Huleeya who is otherwise completely unrelated to the quest.
• Each time you refuse to take a look in Huleen's Hut, Edwinna's disposition drops by 10.
• Quest stage 20 is optional, and filled only if you kill scamp, but not yet spoken to Listien then returning to Edwinna.

Bugs

• If you kill the scamp and then talk to Edwinna about Huleen's hut before completing the quest A Potion from Skink-in-Tree's Shade, Edwinna will next ask you to Return Chimarvamidium (even though you never stole it), and Skink-in-Tree's Shade's quests will never be available to you, as he will always tell you he cannot give you duties until he finishes making the potion for Edwinna. This can be worked around by using the console command journal MG_potion 10 and then completing the quest.
  • The Morrowind Patch Project fixes this bug.
• You can kill the scamp and help Listien Bierles even if you aren't a member of the Mages Guild, since people in Maar Gan might mention the strange noises coming out of Huleen's hut. In this case, you'll get a journal entry about the quest, but even though Edwinna will ask you about the affair if you talk to her, she won't give you any reward and the quest won't close.
