Detailed WalkthroughEdit

Caspus has an important task for you - the recover of three canisters of flashgrit, which he expects you'll be able to find in the So-Mitana Company's warehouse in Charach. That warehouse is accessible only through the main company building in town, and will be a straightforward burglary provided that you're equipped to bypass a couple of high-level locks.

If not however, there is an alternative (if expensive) route, which fellow Thieves Guild member Vandelenwe will suggest if asked. She'll recommend obtaining a flashgrit license so that you can obtain the flashgrit legally. She'll point you to Cassanda in her house in Charach to learn more about how you might fraudulently obtain one. Do so. Cassanda charges 750 gold for the information. In exchange, she gives you a Blank Flashgrit License and instructions to speak to K'Raskha - a forger working in the East Empire Company Warehouse in Anvil.

Go and meet K'Raskha. He'll agree to help for 1,250 gold up front, the blank license that Cassanda gave you, and the signature of Durcanius Pugnitus - the administrator of the mines at Fort Heath. Travel to the fort and enter the tower containing the Miners Quarters. Durcanius is in his office on the top floor. A Signed Requisition Order next to him is all K'Raskha needs. Grab it, and meet K'Raskha. He'll ask for a day to create the forgery, so return in 24 hours (after your journal has updated). K'Raskha will give you a Forged Flashgrit License. With this in hand, speak to Harrold back at the So-Mitana Company in Charach about the flashgrit license topic. He'll allow you to purchase the flashgrit that Caspus needs from his stock.

Whether you obtained the flashgrit through direct robbery or forgery, return with three canisters to Caspus. He'll reward you with 3,000 gold for your efforts, will clear your bounty, and will also give you a Duskwatch Keep Key which can open a hidden passageway in Duskwatch Keep leading to Mirta Grotto.

The flashgrit itself may come in handy during another quest - The Captain.

10		Caspus asked me to fetch him three canisters of flashgrit. He said the So-Mitana Company in Charach has a warehouse full of them.
20		Vandelenwe suggested that I get my hands on a flashgrit license. She said if I had one of those, the representative of the company in Charach might sell a few canisters to me freely. She told me that Cassanda may know where I could steal or forge a license.
30		Cassanda told me that the Imperial Legion has a mine near Fort Heath in which they've been using flashgrit to expand their operation. She said they have a license from the So-Mitana Company for it. She told me that if I forged their license and showed it to Harrold, the Charach company representative, he wouldn't be able to tell the difference. He'd gladly sell me some flashgrit on behalf of the Legion.
40		Cassanda said that she knows an accountant, K'Raskha, who works in Anvil's East Empire Company Warehouse in Anvil's Garden Quarter. He runs a forgery business on the side. She told me that K'Raskha could forge a copy of the Legion's license for me if I give him something to work from. She gave me a blank license for him to use to get the job done.
50		I asked K'Raskha to forge me the Legion's flashgrit license. He told me he'd do it if I provided him with a blank license, a document with Durcanius Pugnitus' signature, and 1250 drakes. He said there should be a document with the mine administrator's signature somewhere in his office at Fort Heath.
60		I gave K'Raskha everything he needed to forge the flashgrit license for me. He told me that he needs some time to make it and to come back to him in a day.
65		A day has passed since I asked K'Raskha to forge me the flashgrit license.
70		K'Raskha gave me the forged flashgrit license.
80		After seeing I had a flashgrit license from Fort Heath, Harrold told me I was free to buy whatever stock of flashgrit he had available.
100	Finishes quest	Caspus thanked me for getting the three canisters of flashgrit. He told me to hang onto them for another job later. He also gave me a key to access the guild's escape route through Mirta Grotto. He said the hidden passageway to the grotto is in one of the cells at the bottom of Duskwatch Keep.
