Telrav's Request

Walkthrough
Exploring Skyrim the Dragonborn may pass a bridge, just east of Nilheim.

I've found an injured merchant and agreed to escort him back to his camp
An upturned cart and an injured merchant named Telrav, paint the picture of daily hardship in Skyrim. The Dragonborn agrees to help the merchant safely get back to his camp. A reward is promised.

Retrieve your reward from Telrav
After crossing the stone bridge, near the Nilheim stone tower, the merchant's camp seems to have been reached without much trouble. Asked about the reward, Telrav, is prepared to give a reward, together with his comrades. Apparently a quick blade between the ribs.

Telrav has doublecrossed me and he will pay
Well, only partly surprisingly, all this was a ruse to trap unwary travellers, kill and rob them.

Telrav and his men are dead
Not on the Dragonborn's watch, though. Telrav and his men chose the wrong "unwary" traveller for their scheme.

Note

 * Exploring the environs around the Nilheim tower, just down the cliffs, will yield the bodies of several travellers. Suggesting the bandits' ploy tragically worked several times before.
