The Toothmaul Ploy is a quest available in The Elder Scrolls Online.
Background
I stumbled onto an investigator named Pirondil being threatened by an unknown Altmer assailant in a Goblin cave. He's enlisted me to help get to the bottom of the situation.
Quick walkthrough
- Investigate the gully
- Talk to Byz
- Find evidence of Nelanya's bargain
- Find Byz
- Talk to Pirondil
- Choice: (see below)
- Kill Koth and search his body (if you choose not to help the goblins)
- Save Koth. (Obtain Key)
- Confront Nelanya
- Talk to Pirondil
Options
If one choose to save the Goblin Chief, a merchant in Skywatch, Nerassil the Bound can be overheard saying "You should have killed every last one of those Toothmaul Goblins. Why let their chief walk free?"
Best to do with a group since there are many enemies throughout the underground tunnels.
