Related Quest

 * Hunter and Hunted

When you arrive, there will be an injured man, Valdr, outside the cave. He is affected by Spriggan poison. You can heal him by giving him a potion or using a spell like Healing Hands. After healing him, he will ask you to clear out the cave of Spriggans so he can get to the bodies of his fallen friends. Upon completion of this task, you will be rewarded with Valdr's Lucky Dagger.

Note: if you enter the cave before healing Valdr, and clear out the enemies inside, he will be dead upon you returning from the cave. The side quest will still be available but will not be possible to complete.
