When you get to the hold and make your way around to the little makeshift fort, Nalia will be waiting there. You don't have to take her in your party to complete the quest. If you don't put her in your group while you clear out the fort, however, instead of the 10,000 gold piece reward you usually get from her, you get a piddling little 650 or somesuch. You do the math. : )
