Walkthrough
Upon completion of "The Assassin," Carnius will inform you that Falco's death still was not enough to get the investors to pull out. He speculates that if the colony were to be attacked by the local Nords, that would be the end of it. Since he is unwilling to actually contact the locals, he has hired some mercenaries to do the job while wearing the gear of the locals. He asks you to deliver it.
The gear is located in two bags besides the table just outside of Carnius's room. Be aware that it is very heavy, so make sure you have a lot of inventory space available. Alternatively, just drop all the things you don't need here and come back later to pick them up.
Deliver the gear to Toralf and his men, who will be waiting east of the river bed, by a small boat. They may not be there right away, so you may have to wait a day. Once you've found them, speak with Toralf. He will tell you to hand the gear out to his men. Speak with each mercenary individually and give them their gear. Once all the men have their gear, speak with Toralf and give him his gear. He will then tell you that Carnius has ordered them to kill you, as you've outgrown your usefulness. He will then proceed to attack.
Once Toralf and his men are dead, return to Carnius. He will be surprised to see you, as he presumed you'd be killed. He will tell you that you're no longer useful, and because you know too much, you need to die. He will then proceed to attack you. This is a difficult fight, as he has many healing potions, so come prepared.
Once Carnius is dead, speak with Constans Atrius to be named factor of Raven Rock.
Note: it is no longer possible to obtain Stalhrim Weapons and Ice Armor after this quest. If you have need of these, get them before doing this quest.
