Quick walkthroughEdit

1. Return to Shady Sands after stopping the radscorpions.
2. Go to Vault 15.
3. Talk to either Seth or Aradesh.
4. Travel to the Khans base.
5. Negotiate, through words or force, for Tandi's release.
6. Return Tandi to Shady Sands.

Detailed walkthroughEdit

After completing the Stop the Radscorpions quest and exploring Vault 15 and waiting 2 days, either Seth or Aradesh will ask the Vault Dweller to save Tandi from nearby raiders, known as the Khans.

If the Vault Dweller talks to Razlo before leaving the town, Razlo will sympathetically give the Vault Dweller 2 stimpaks. If the Vault Dweller talks to Aradesh and agrees to find Tandi, he will give the Vault Dweller a spear.

There are numerous ways to rescue Tandi:

• Defeat all of the Khans and break her out.
• Fight Garl in Unarmed combat for her release.
• Purchase her from Garl.
• Intimidate Garl for her release (45% Speech required).
• Quietly kill the two guards at the rear of the building and pick the lock on Tandi's cell.
• With a Luck 9 (if your gender is male, and you are wearing a leather armor), the raiders will think that the Vault Dweller is Garl's father whom Garl killed to take control of the Khans (50% chance). With at least 6 Intelligence and a Charisma or Speech check, the Vault Dweller can bluff Garl with this ruse and secure Tandi's release.

The first and second methods of rescue entail a lot of risk, the second method especially if the Vault Dweller is still a low level, as Garl is a highly competent brawler and much more experienced than his men.

Tandi can be used as a party member if the Vault Dweller never takes her back to Shady Sands. However, since you cannot give commands to her and she lacks combat skill she is undoubtedly the weakest of all possible companions. Still, she deals a decent amount of damage against raiders.

RewardsEdit

• 500 XP
• 500 bottle caps
• 2 stimpaks (optional)

NotesEdit

• Asking Seth for money will make him behave aggresive, but will not make him hostile.
• If the Vault Dweller selects the dialogue option "If you're not going to tell me how much you'll give me, I'm not going to take the job." while talking to Seth about Tandi's kidnapping, Seth will yell "You bastard!" and become hostile (along with nearby guards and Katrina). While it is possible to escape to the worldmap, this effectively locks the player out of Shady Sands, as Seth remains hostile.
• Killing the Khans before Tandi is kidnapped will obviously rule out this quest. Likewise, if the quest Join the Khans is completed, the same will happen.
• When escaping from the base with Tandi, a note will appear: "You gain 0 experience points for freeing Tandi." (Only for the violent solution. For non-violent freeing you will receive 400 xp.)
