10I met a Wood Elf by the name of Mudlap who told me he was a powerful Telvanni wizard. He asked me to retrieve a magical artifact named the Mosslog for him. The Mosslog looks like a mossy log and can apparently be found in a pool of water on the Sadas plantation.
20When I brought the Mosslog to Mudlap, he asked me to collect another item for him. I must go to Llathros Edri in Port Telvannis and somehow obtain the Feather Spear, which will lead me to the mightiest mudcrabs in the land.
25I bought the Feather Spear from Llathros Edri, but he didn't seem to think it was a very powerful artifact.
30I have brought the Feather Spear to Mudlap. I now must use it and the Mosslog to bring three of the strongest mudcrabs I can find to Mudlap for his army.
40I have brought three mudcrabs to Mudlap using the Mosslog.
45After bringing the mudcrabs to Mudlap, he told me to return in three days when he will conquer the Telvanni with his army.
50I told a Telvanni guard about Mudlap's scheme, but he said he had never heard of a Telvanni wizard by that name. He told me to talk to Vero Renim in the Port Telvannis Council House if I wanted to report it.
60Finishes quest☑I told Vero Renim about Mudlap's plan, but he didn't seem particularly worried. He told me that Mudlap was not a wizard and had been rejected by the Telvanni because he was unable to cast a single spell. He seemed more irritated than concerned, but gave me 80 gold as a reward.
70I should return to Mudlap within twenty four hours if I wish to join in his battle with the Telvanni.
80When I returned, I found Mudlap being attacked by his mudcrabs.
90Finishes quest☑Mudlap was overwhelmed and killed by the mudcrabs. Clearly he was not a powerful Telvanni wizard after all.
100Finishes quest☑After I rescued Mudlap he admitted to not being a Telvanni wizard and gave me the Mosslog in thanks.
110Finishes quest☑I have missed my opportunity to join Mudlap in his attack on Port Telvannis.
120Finishes quest☑I declined Mudlap's offer to join him in battle against the Telvanni.
130Finishes quest☑I was told that a Wood Elf attempted to attack Port Telvannis with an army of mudcrabs. Apparently he escaped with an Imperial Sailor and is being pursued by the Telvanni. It would seem Mudlap's plan did not work out as he'd hoped..
140Finishes quest☑Mudlap will no longer talk to me because I killed one of his crabs.
150Finishes quest☑I have killed Mudlap.
