I just did the quest and 100% did not have any shield.
Gave the Dwarf the ringmail tunic that I got from Emperor Crush (Dwarf vanished after the fact) and he gave me back a mace .
To the right of the Dwarf was High Elf to whom I gave the bracer that I got from Warlord. He gave me a shoulder pad with 3+ Wis I think.
I gave back to the same High Elf the Mace (got from 1st turn in) plus the Shoulder piece he had just given me and BOOM got the Screaming Mace.
At no point did I ever get or give anyone a shield.
