The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
Kill Alain Dufont.
1 of 7: Travel to the old dwarven city of Raldbthar, which is a ways west of Windhelm. See the World Map Exploration Guide if you need more specific directions.
2 of 7: Fight your way through the outdoor bandits and enter Raldbthar, then kill the bandit in the first room.
3 of 7: Past that, go around the right side of the dwarven flame-spewing device to avoid getting burned, then go down to a locked gate that leads to the room where Alain Dufont is.
4 of 7: If you can pick the gate's lock, open it and hit Dufont with a sneaky arrow, optionally poisoning your bow first with one of the Lotus Extract poisons that Muiri gave you.
5 of 7: If you can't pick the lock, you could try blasting the gate with the Flames spell. That won't hurt it, but it will alert the bandits in the area past it, and they may open the gate to get at you. (If not, you can stand back and burn them as they push up against the gate in a futile effort to reach you.)
6 of 7: If you'd rather not do that, go back the way you came and around the flame-spewing device, then head down the side passage.
7 of 7: After killing or sneaking past a few bandits, you'll come to an open gate to Dufont's room. Kill him as stated above to get the "Talk to Muiri" objective.
