Well, for starters first: Where do I start? Quite simple actually. Check the map on the top of the page, and find the house with the orange quest circle in it, right under the Sloeford Town square. In this house, on the second floor, you will find Principal Thordeth praying at, or standing near, his altar.

Some robbers have stolen the entire annual tax levy of the village! It's just a small sack, but it holds gems worth a small fortune.  If we can't pay our taxes, the village is doomed.

When you reach the location the map indicated, there will be some random enemies, but also 1 boss-type brigand. He has no fixed position, but when you reach the quest location, he is always somewhere on your screen. When you kill him, he will drop the 'pouch with gems'.

As soon as you pick up the pouch of gems, the map will indicate you have to go to Thylyssium. The easiest, and fastest way to get there, is by following the path below. It is however recommended that you also activate the resurrection monolith there, and grab the way-point while you are at it. The monolith will slightly cut down on your traveling time further down the quest

When you reach the destination, there will be a few senate guards. Talk to the one that has the (?!) marks on his head. He will tell you that you don't just bribe people in broad daylight. Go to the 'Drunken Elf' inn, and meet up with the contact person there.

When you reach the destination, there will be a few senate guards. Talk to the one that has the (?!) marks on his head. He will tell you that you don't just bribe people "out in the open. Go to the 'Drunken Elf' tavern, and I'll send 'old man Gracchus' around to collect the money."
 
Bribing wasn't your plan all along, and you notice something is off the hook here. You decide to follow up on his advice though, and you head for the drunken elf inn. You are best off following this path.

He will tell you that the bribing, to which the senate guard referred, is part of an elaborate corrupt government. The jewels would be in better hands when they are delivered to the local teacher, who is building a school for the children. Obviously education is a good thing (even though children often seem to disagree), and you decide this Liosilath person is completely right, and you head to teacher Solael, to hand him the stolen tax money.

Do so either by running back to the monolith, back the way you came, or press f12 if you activated the monolith like indicated. This way you re-spawn next to the monolith. Solael, and some fellow teachers, can be found right next to the monolith.
