You'll know you're going the right direction when you hit the first sign, "Wildhammer Ale Inside. Private Stash."
You'll be doubly sure you're right when you come across the second sign, one that reads, "Ale downstairs. Do not touch. Sincerely, not the bad guys."
***spoiler**
When you reach the basement you are jumped by 4 muggers with about 33k hp each. 3 attack you, and Eoin Dunwald comes out of nowhere to help you, when you down the first 2, the 4th will run away with Eoin hot on his heels.
I recommend taking the ale asap as I had an issue with the scene repeating itself after I killed the last mob.
Altogether a funny little quest that I enjoyed.

No dallyin'... this is urgent!

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
