    Skyrim: In My Time Of Need Quest Walkthrough<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    \u201cIn My Time Of Need\u201d is a morally complex Skyrim quest that begins once you\u2019ve slain your first dragon and meets you with a mysterious hunt for a Redguard fugitive in Whiterun.<\/span><\/p>\n

    1. Prerequisites To Complete\"dragon<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Before beginning <\/span>In My Time Of Need<\/em>, you must first complete the <\/span>Dragon Rising<\/em> quest, where you defeat your first dragon and absorb a Dragon Soul. This quest is triggered by speaking with the Jarl of Whiterun. Once completed, <\/span>In My Time Of Need<\/em> becomes available immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n

    2. Speaking With Alik’r Warriors\"speaking<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Just inside Whiterun\u2019s gates, you\u2019ll meet two Alik\u2019r warriors searching for a Redguard woman. They won\u2019t reveal much but hint that she\u2019s a fugitive from Hammerfell. Due to being denied entry to the city, they later relocate to the Rorikstead Inn.<\/span><\/p>\n

    3. Finding Saadia\"the<\/span><\/h3>\n

    The woman they\u2019re after is Saadia, a server at <\/span>The Bannered Mare<\/em> in Whiterun. Ask her about the Redguard fugitive, and she\u2019ll ask to speak in private upstairs. At this point, you can either follow her to hear her side or report her to the Alik\u2019r for a quick 500 gold reward.<\/span><\/p>\n

    4. Speaking With Saadia\"speaking<\/span><\/h3>\n

    If you choose to speak privately, Saadia reveals she is Iman of House Suda, a noble from Hammerfell who fled after opposing the Aldmeri Dominion. She insists the Alik\u2019r are assassins sent to kill her and asks you to eliminate their leader, Kematu, who\u2019s supposedly hiding in Swindler\u2019s Den.<\/span><\/p>\n

    5. Talking To The Prisoner\"player<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Visit Dragonsreach Dungeon to speak with an Alik\u2019r prisoner. Pay his 100 gold fine, and he\u2019ll reveal Kematu\u2019s location: Swindler\u2019s Den. If you’ve already discovered or cleared the den, this step is skipped.<\/span><\/p>\n

    6. Traveling To Swindler\u2019s Den\"map<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Swindler\u2019s Den lies west of Whiterun, filled with bandits and a few shortcuts to speed your way through. Fight your way or sneak past to reach Kematu in the final chamber. Look for the <\/span>Thief<\/em> book along the way to boost your Pickpocket skill.<\/span><\/p>\n

    7. Kematu\u2019s Offer\"speaking<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Kematu won\u2019t attack immediately. Instead, he claims Saadia betrayed her people and caused Taneth\u2019s fall. You can either help him lure Saadia out or kill him on the spot. Both paths offer 500 gold \u2014 your decision hinges on who you believe.<\/span><\/p>\n
