Erdarf Restil eating Karsin Acid

[Schortt]

Description: Erdarf Restil in Thurgadin is part of two quest lines: to get the Coldain Military Bracers and Kromrif Military Leggings. In either quest line you need to get a Gem of Persuasion from Erdarf. One way to get the gem is to hand him the Scepter of Coldain Ancients off Queen Drac in CC, and the other way is to hand him a Bottle of Karsin Acid off the Ry'Gorr miners in CC.

Currently, he is eating the Bottle of Karsin Acid. I haven't gotten a Scepter yet to test that turnin. I am KOS with dwarves but was sneak-trading the acid to get indiff faction - according to many Alla comments from 2001 this entire quest line was doable with dubious faction to both dwarves and giants as many people mention rolling a Rallos Zek worshipping alt specifically for doing the turn ins. A number of people also talk about using sneak to do turnins to both giants and dwaves.

At this point I handed in the Acid and got nothing - no dialogue, no item.
