Viriya received a letter from Jarl Skald in Dawnstar. The frenzied mudcrabs have emerged once again. When the Dawnstar guard arrived, they were attacked by a spirit that caused them to flee in terror. Viriya is already on her way to Dawnstar and asked for my assistance. I should answer the call and return to the shore west of Dawnstar.

I have arrived once again at the shore west of Dawnstar. The signs of a recent battle scar the surrounding area where Viriya and a handful of guards have stood their ground against a mudcrab horde.

Speak to Viriya
Journal entry
The guardian spirit of a massive emperor crab has materialized off the coast, along with a new wave of mudcrabs. The guardian spirit is too large to be harmed by normal means. However, I should be able to use the catapults the guards have put in position nearby. The mudcrabs seem to have collected the flaming pots from the wrecked wagon near the shack. I will have to recover them from the mudcrabs and use them to fire the catapults at the guardian spirit.

Speak to Viriya
Journal entry
In the aftermath of the battle, Viriya thanked me for helping defeat the guardian spirit of the emperor crab. The guards must tend to their wounds, and Viriya will make the long journey back to Riften. The emperor crab guardian spirit and its horde of frenzied mudcrabs should no longer threaten the people of Dawnstar. I should travel to Dawnstar and inform the Jarl that the battle was a success.
