I hadn't done my daily writs yet, which I've been doing in Vvardenfell.
So when I found myself having to travel to Davon's Watch to do the Lava Foot Stomp, I thought, "Why not?" You have to go to the inn where the Provisioning cooking fire is, then you can do the others on the way to the Fish place, which is right by where you turn everything in. Win-win.
I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!
