You got what you wanted, didn't you? It's done.

The deal is off. Get out of my sight!

You delivered my confession? I should have put a stop to Alcedo's slander before it came to this, but I guess it's the best I can do right now. Yes, yes, I haven't forgotten about your Ashlander trinket. Here it is. Now leave me alone, I need to prepare for when the guards show up.

I don't want to talk about him any further. Just deliver my confession and let's get this over with.

Well, I must admit that does solve my problem. Then again, it's a bit odd that he dies just when you... Nevermind! I don't even want to know any more about this. Let's change the subject, shall we? You said something about an Ashlander ringlet? Is it this one? Go ahead! Take it! I never really had any use for it anyway. Now if you'll excuse me, my duties are waiting.

You destroyed the documents? That was NOT what we agreed! Oh well, at least he won't be able to back up the lies he's been spreading about me. Fine, take the ringlet. I don't think it's worth much anyway. And I'll find a way to get rid of Alcedo Nirol sooner or later. Maybe I can get the Theurgist to send the little zealot to do missionary work in Port Telvannis...

Perfect! That will show this upstart do-gooder. Trying to intrude on my turf, are they? Good riddance, I say. Excellent work, %PCName! Here, I took the liberty of fetching the ringlet and shining it. I'm still not sure why you want it, but a deal's a deal. I hope you're as satisfied as I am.

You have the evidence? Excellent! And you've altered it already? Yes, that looks perfectly convincing. Now what are you waiting for? Get it to a guard!

Is he dealt with yet?

No? Oh, I see! You think that he's right. You think that I'm a criminal. Well, %PCClass, I guess if you don't wish to deal with 'criminals', then I can't help that. I guess that means you won't get the ringlet from me either. Maybe your new friend Alcedo is going to help you instead. Hah! Have a blessed day, %PCName, Mara be with you.

Perfect. You can find him in The Howling Noose tavern; he complained that he can't stay under the same roof as I and left. Surely, he has the documents locked away somewhere in his room there.

Blast! I think you're right, %PCName. Alcedo will insist on me being investigated too. I have to get ahead of him. I'm going to admit that I was tangentially, under coercion, involved in this. And that he took the majority of the funds for himself. What kind of preacher would I be if I couldn't convince the guards that I'm the victim? Thank you for the advice. Here, let me draft a quick confession. And done. Please deliver this to any member of the city guard. When you return I'll have that ringlet for you.

Implicate myself? I don't see the need for that. You will get those documents and make them look like it was all Alcedo's doing. I'm sure that's enough to convince the city guard that he is the only culprit. Now, do we have a deal?

I need you to acquire these documents and... change them. You see: I'm afraid Nirol will never stop his crusade against me. He needs to go! Change the documents to implicate Nirol instead of me. Then give them to a guard. If Nirol is apprehended for my 'misdeeds', he'll learn that the Imperial Cult can't work by the book in this land. We have to adapt. Do this for me, and you'll get that ringlet from me.

Of course, he has no idea what he's talking about. I merely adapted to the culture of this land. To an uninitiated outsider that may look as if I am -- Stendarr forbid -- extorting people. Pure slander! Anyway, the problem is: Nirol possesses Imperial Cult documents which show my 'indigenous' methods. The guards, though, might interpret them as Nirol hopes they will: as proof that I'm a criminal.

He arrived from the Imperial City a few weeks ago, supposedly as support for the local Imperial Cult staff. Now he wants me gone. He thinks that I'm not suited for this position. He calls me a disgrace. He claims that I'm extorting money and favors from the local populace using my position as leverage. Preposterous!

Yes, he's a new Imperial Cult acolyte fresh from the Imperial City. Arrived just a few weeks ago. I need you to help me deal with him. Do that for me and you'll get the ringlet.

Yes, that would be me. Do you wish to talk about the gifts of the Nine, %PCClass?

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

Alcedo Nirol is extorting money? Unbelievable! He just arrived recently and is already trying to enrich himself. Thank you for your efforts, %PCRank. I'll make sure these papers are thoroughly examined and the appropriate actions are taken.

The preacher? He rented a room here and has been trying to convince us to 'do better with our lives' for a while now. Waste of time if you ask me.
