Escaped Criminal

Background
 is a guild radiant quest. In order to start this quest, the Dragonborn must join the Companions guild in Whiterun, and request work from either Skjor or Vilkas.

Description
A prisoner has escaped and the Companions have been hired to track them down then kill them. The player must track and eliminate the prisoner. After the prisoner is killed, the player should return to Skjor/Vilkas to receive a levelled reward of gold.

Walkthrough
In order to obtain this quest, the player needs to talk to Skjor or Vilkas, depending on how far they are within the Companions questline, who will request that they track and eliminate an escaped prisoner within a specific hold. The difficulty is in locating the prisoner, as they will continue to move, and should their location be fast-travelled to, they will not be there. Several considerations should be noted, including: Upon the elimination of the prisoner, the player should return to Vilkas / Skjor at Jorrvaskr to collect a reward of levelled gold.
 * 1) The prisoner may seek refuge within a bandit hideout.
 * 2) Should the prisoner be killed before the player can reach them (for example during a vampire attack) then the quest will still complete as if the player did eliminate them.
 * 3) In order to remove any possibility of occuring a bounty, the prisoner can be talked to, triggering them to attack the player.
 * 4) The prisoner will keep to using roads, and as such, if the player waits along a road, it is possible that the prisoner will pass by, unless they reach a bandit hideout.
 * 5) Should the prisoner be confronted whilst travelling through a town, it is possible that the local residents will assist the player in eliminating them.
