Notes:
The original claim calls for the cargo to be contained inside of a crate. Here, however, it is inside a locked chest.
Furthermore, the original method of solving the quest by removing the cargo has been replaced with two alternative methods; simply lifting the chest with a sufficient amount of strength (=>50), or healing the merchant with a restore strength spell.
If the player does look inside the chest, a secondary quest will occur, in which they may decide whether or not to report the merchant for smuggling ash statues. (This is counted as a seperate quest in the CS because, when they were one quest, numerous complications would occur involving the journal index.)
