## Detailed Walkthrough

### A note from Raminus

Once you are Archmage, having completed the Confronting the King quest, if you have recruited Virgilia, then when you next enter the Lodge at Gweden, a Dremora will appear and hand you a note from Raminus Polus.

The note informs you that a young Wizard has gone missing. Virgilia knows him; he's the one with whom she was trying to lose her viginity, back when she lived in IC with her parents. She insists on helping you find him.

### Enchanting Armor

Travel to the Arcane University to speak with Raminus. He'll suggest that Delmar could enchant Virgilia's armor with shield spells and make it a bit more protective. While that's happening, you can go to Cheydinhal and interview a candidate for the Council of Mages, which is two members short (Caranya and Irlav Jarol). Deetsan is due for a promotion as well. After that, perhaps Carahil at Anvil could be persuaded to join the Council?

### Business in Cheydinhal

Go to Cheydinhal and talk to Deetsan. Inform her that she now holds the rank of Warlock, and is installed as permanent head of the chapter, a post she already held in an acting capacity, because Falcar was dead.

The Council candidate turns out to be an Orc Battlemage called Orgul gro-Kurak, not what you expected at all, but a perfect companion for the attempted rescue of Randonil. You all travel to Anvil, where you talk to Carahil. She won't leave until a new Guild head is found for Anvil.

### Rescue a Wizard

Collect Virgilia's armor from Delmar, and proceed to Fort Linchal (Raminus has received information that this is where Randonil was taken). He's in a cell in the second area.

### Business at Anvil

Send gro-Kurak off to the Arcane University, and take Virgilia and Randonil to Anvil Mages' Guild.

Go and talk to Carahil again. When she repeats her protest that she can't leave Anvil without a chapter head, you offer that job to Randonil. Both accept and Carahil heads off to IC.

## Notes

- Virgilia's schedule changes to let her share Randonil's bed at the guild once a week. He'll visit Gweden once a week as well.

## Journal Entries

Getting Randy (GS17)
Stage | Finishes Quest | Journal Entry
--- | --- | ---
10 |  | Raminus Polus has sent word that one of the young Mages has gone missing. Apparently this lad knows Virgilia, and he was on his way here to visit her when he disappeared. I should speak to Virgilia about this, as I'm sure she'll be concerned.
20 |  | I spoke with Virgilia and she's insisting on helping me find Randonil. I hope there are no Goblins involved this time, as she's really got issues with tem.
30 |  | Raminus Polus suggests I have Delmar enchant Virgilia's armor to give it some defense with a shield spell. I think that's an excellent idea, and I can use the time it will take to go to Cheydinhal and make Deetsan's temporary promotion to chapter head a permanent one. There is also a candidate for the Council of Mages that I should interview while I am there.
40 |  | I have promoted Deetsan to Warlock and made her acting position as head of the Cheydinhal chapter a permanent one. She has introduced me to Orgul gro-Kurak, a battlemage who has applied to join the Council of Mages. I must say he appears to be a promising candidate, although I was surprised to find an Orc with such a depth of magical experience.
50 |  | Virgilia's armor should be ready by now. I should return to Delmar and collect it.
60 |  | Raminus Polus has received word that Randonil was seen with a group of necromancers heading for Fort Linchal. I should take Virgilia and gro-Kurak there and try and rescue him.
70 |  | We have rescued Randonil from the necromancers at For Linchal. Now I have some unfinished business to attend to in Anvil Mages Guild.
80 |  | I have promoted Carahil to Master Wizard and asked her to join the Council of Mages. I have also installed Randonil is chapter head in Anvil in her place. Virgilia is delighted that he will be living so close to Gweden. Now I should go back to the Council chamber and talk to gro-Kurak and Carahil about the necromancers.
100 | 0 | The Council of Mages is back at full strength and ready to deal with any resurgence of the Necromancer threat.

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.
- On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering `setstage quest stage`. Where `quest` is the internal name of the quest, and `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.
