At 26 you should be able to solo parts of the quest yourself. I can give you a good tip on how to get 2kpp in two-three days. Head to permafrost, farm ore from the goblins closest to the entrance. Many of them will be green but the money is incredibly good for the level and due to the ZEM you will still see a good increase in XP.
Your problem as evil as that you will have difficulty selling the ore when your bags are full. You could create a lv 1 barbarian mule to do the selling for you, there is a barbarian vendor not too far outside the entrance. Put all stats into CHA to sell as high as possible.
Blocks of ore sell for 50pp
Large bricks 16pp
Small bocks 5pp
20 blocks of ore is 1kpp, this could happen in half a day if you are lucky!
