"here's a giant spider in Nchuand-Zel. My workers call her 'Nimhe,' the poisoned one. If you deal with Nimhe, I'll let you into both the excavation site and my Dwemer Museum. What do you say?"

Trivia

• At the top of the stone walkway the Dragonborn may find the body of Alethius and his notes, which will start a quest "The Lost Expedition" within Nchuand-Zel.
• This quest can be done in conjunction with the quest "Hard Answers" to allow legal entry to the Dwemer Museum but not to Calcelmo's Laboratory, further beyond.
