Speak to Lod

Overview

 * Prerequisites: none
 * Quest Giver: Lod
 * Reward: nothing
 * Next Quest: A Daedra's Best Friend

Walkthrough
When Dragonborn first arrives at Falkreath, he is confronted by a guard asking about a dog. He then directs Dragonborn to the local blacksmith named Lod. Lod wants Dragonborn to find a dog he's seen running on the road south west of Falkreath. When Dragonborn arrives, he finds a dog named Barbas, who talks to Dragonborn. He talks about a problem: his master has kicked him out and he needs your help. This starts the quest A Daedra's Best Friend.

Note

 * It is possible to receive a reward from this quest. One confirmed way is to ask for half the reward before doing the quest and half after. After helping Barbas, even if you kill him, you will receive the other half of your payment. That is unless Lod is killed. May be possible to receive payment anyway if you can still talk about the dog outside Falkreath after completing the Daedra's Best Friend quest.
