You can receive this quest during the All that Glisters main story quest. During the conversation with Florian you have to suggest that you will save his woman.
Warning: The time to save Esther is limited, so do not delay too long with this task.
Every little boy dreams of becoming a knight in shining armour and rescuing a princess from a tower. I never thought that dream would come true for me... well, sort of. I'm not a knight, it's not a princess I have to rescue, but a bathhouse wench, and she's not locked away in a tower, but on top of a hill.
The kidnappers are holding Esther somewhere in the Skalitz Hills. That's all I know. I'll just have to go there and leave no stone unturned until I find her.
There are three bandits here.
I found out Esther was being held in a cluster of mining shacks in the Skalitz hills. I just had to figure out how to get in and out unobserved. Or maybe charge in like a valiant knight and set her free?
I must free Esther and keep her from any harm!
The door is locked (easy lock). One of the guards has a key.
It should not be a big challenge to sneak into the shed even during the day. You can, of course, kill the guards.
They were keeping Esther locked up in a shed like an animal. When I untied her she was so weak she could barely utter a gasp. But at least she wasn't dead as Florian feared.
Esther's free, but we still need to get out of here.
Getting out was a lot harder than getting in, but we finally made it. I led Esther away from captivity and we set out together for Sasau.
You can let her return to Sasau alone, or accompany her. In the second case, the fast travel should activate. I'm not sure if someone can attack her/you along the way.
Now I just have to tell Florian the good news.
Time is of the essence - Esther is in mortal peril. If I don't do something now, it will be too late!
Unfortunately I've delayed too long in rescuing the poor bathmaid. Now I've no hope of saving her.
Esther's life was hanging by a thread since those bastards abducted here. And sadly the thread finally broke and Esther died. My efforts to rescue her came to nothing.
