Detailed Walkthrough

Speaking to Nalvyna Balen about business will reveal that a shipment of greef has not made it to Andothren from the Savrethi Distillery, putting her at risk of things like paying compensation and completing paperwork. She asks that you walk to the distillery, in the hope that you will either find the shipment on the road, or be able to ask the Savrethis at the distillery where the shipment is. You can start your journey towards the distillery by following the road out of Andothren's eastern entrance, ignoring the fork to Teyn and passing the Vathras Plantation. At the point where the road south breaks into two, one going west, and one east, go west, and you will shortly arrive at the distillery.

Seek out Garus Savrethi in the distillery's offices (the tower building), and talk to him about the shipment of greef. With evident nerves, he will advise you to seek out his brother, Sarus Savrethi, on the road. As you have already checked the road, it seems something may be up. You'll need to raise Garus's disposition to 80+ before he will tell you anything more, or alternatively you can search Sarus and Milune's house at the northern edge of the distillery land, where you'll find Sarus Savrethi's Ledger in a desk in the attic. This ledger will point you towards the cave, Dunusi.

Ask around the plantation about Dunusi to obtain directions. It's west of the distillery, close to Menaan, and caution is advised. Outside of the cave, which sits just around the corner from Menaan's silt strider, you will find Sarus' pack guar, and the cave entrance.

Once inside the cave, turn left, and you will find the two missing Dunmer, and Soron Nadril, a shady individual who has been extracting greef from the shipments to Andothren for his own profit, adding water to top up the bottles. You have a two options for dealing with Soron - bribing him to abandon his ploy (for 130-150 gold), or killing him where he stands.

Regardless of your choice, speak to Sarus Savrethi once done, and he will ask you not to mention anything about watering down to Nalvyna. Then return to Nalvyna herself. She'll give you an extra 50 Scrip if you inform her about the watering down, but will be satisfied with either explanation. This completes the quest.

Index	Finishes Quest	Journal Entry
10		Nalvyna Balen asked me to track down an overdue shipment of greef from Savrethi Distillery. If I don't find it on the road, I should ask around at the distillery.
20		Garus Savrethi told me that his brother Sarus is the one taking care of the shipping, together with his wife. I may look for them at their house at the northern edge of the estate, but Garus didn't expect them to be home. I have a feeling he knows more than he's willing to tell.
40		After some persuasion, Garus Savrethi revealed that his brother has some sort of side business with a shady character named Soron in a place called Dunusi.
50		I have found a ledger belonging to Sarus Savrethi. Among other things, it reveals that he has some shady business with a certain Soron Nadril at a place called Dunusi, and that he's probably there right now.
60		I was told that Dunusi is cave a short distance west of Savrethi Distillery, near Menaan.
70		I've found the greef shippers. They were busy diluting the missing shipment with water, while being supervised by a shady-looking man.
75		The couple told me they are working for Soron Nadril, who takes care of the undiluted bottles and sells them on the black market. They asked me to help them ending their contract.
80		I've bribed Soron Nadril into stopping his greef business. Now nothing should stop the Savrethi couple from bringing the shipment to Andothren.
90		I've killed Soron Nadril. Now nothing should stop the Savrethi couple from bringing the shipment to Andothren.
100	Finishes quest	Nalvyna Balen paid me justly for tracking down the shipment of greef. Due to Sarus Savrethi's side business, she will now look for another supplier.
110	Finishes quest	Nalvyna Balen paid me justly for tracking down the shipment of greef. I decided not to tell her about Sarus Savrethi's side business.
Greef Astray (TR_m4_HH_AND_Greef2)
50		Garus Savrethi told me that his brother Sarus used to take care of the shipping together with his wife, but they recently died and it has been hard to find a replacement. Therefore it may take a couple of weeks until they can deliver the order to Andothren. I should inform Nalvyna Balen of this.
70		I've killed Sarus and Milune Savrethi. Soron Nadril told me that he was glad to get them out of the way, and will lay his hands on the shipment himself.
100	Finishes quest	Nalvyna Balen was sorely disappointed that she will not get the greef delivered anytime soon.
