Walkthrough

Talk to Vex first – she tried this job before and knows about a sewer entrance on the island’s northwest side that avoids most of the mercenaries. On the island, burn three beehives – the job calls for three, no more, break into the house, get the key from Aringoth and clear out his safe. Report back to Brynjolf.
