The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
Steal the Double-Distilled Skooma for Stands-In-Shallows.
1 of 5: Go to the docks area that's just east of Windhelm and look for an argonian named Stands-In-Shallows. If he's not outside, he'll be in the Argonian Assemblage. (Note that you can pickpocket a key to the assemblage from any of the argonians on the docks.)
2 of 5: Talk to him and agree to get the special skooma, then enter the New Gnisis Cornerclub inside the city.
3 of 5: Go up the stairs to the second floor, then go over to the stairs that lead up to the third floor.
4 of 5: Don't go up them, but go around to where you can get under them and find the double-distilled skooma bottle between a couple of crates.
5 of 5: Take it, then go give it to Stands-In-Shallows to get your Sneak skill increased. (You can pickpocket it back from him and drink it yourself, but it just restores stamina, which is nothing special.)
