I don't know why they took her. I just hope that the Mother's mercy keeps her safe.

Wanna know why it happened? It's oppression, that's what it is. Scare tactics. They're trying to bully us out of here, and Alynu got the sharp end of the spear.

None of us knows why it happened, but she was hiding from something, that's for sure.

Whatever she told you, she lies. Alynu Radrin is a murderer, and she will face Imperial justice.

%PCRank %PCName, if a person of your rank requires this information, I'll be happy to oblige. Alynu Radrin is accused of highway robbery and murder. At least two Cyrodiilic travelers were killed by her hand between Bal Foyen and the Hlaalu plantations to the south. A witness to the crime recognized her in the docks district, and dutifully informed the guard. She was arrested in accordance with Imperial law. Alynu Radrin will be sentenced to death for her crimes.

It couldn't hurt to tell you. Alynu Radrin is accused of highway robbery and murder. At least two Cyrodiilic travelers were killed by her hand between Bal Foyen and the Hlaalu plantations to the south. A witness to the crime recognized her in the docks district, and dutifully informed the guard. She was arrested in accordance with Imperial law. Alynu Radrin will be sentenced to death for her crimes.

[Alynu writes a note.] Take this note. Give it to Nals. Read it if you like, it's not private. Goodbye now, %PCName. I hope we'll meet again someday.

Thank you. You've already saved my life. Can I ask you to do one more thing?

Please bring it to me as soon as you can. You're the only way I'm getting out of here alive.

Do you have a scroll of Almsivi Intervention for me?

Now, I don't know for sure, but I think the Tong killed those travelers. And they needed someone to pin the murder on, someone from the outside. I was the perfect target. They dropped a bag of cash on a desk in Hlaalu Council Manor, Hlaalu pulled some strings in the Legion, and the Legion put me away for a crime I never committed. Now, I think that's wrong. If you do too -- and I hope you do -- you'll bring me a scroll of Almsivi Intervention. I'll be able to take a boat out of here before anyone notices.

Alright, %PCRace, you know what I'm accused of. Now let me tell you what really happened. I'm just a petty thief who saw the money in Bal Foyen and thought it would be a safe guar to milk. Nothing that would get me a sentence that ends in 'execution'. What I didn't know is that this guar has teeth, and they're called the Camonna Tong. I didn't know they'd run the Thieves Guild out of town. I didn't know that Bal Foyen was their turf. So when I started milking the guar, I got the wrong sort of attention.

Did Nals send you? I appreciate that he and Hama and Bal and Marrys are thinking of me. But I don't want them involved. It's too dangerous, and for you, too. Believe me, it's better if you let this one go.

Whatever she told you, she lies. Alynu Radrin is a murderer, and she will face Imperial justice.

This is a highly sensitive case. I can't provide any details as to why she was arrested, but I can assure you that justice is being done.

Why does the %PCRace think %Name would know anything about that?

I know nothing about that. Leave me alone.

We weren't told why she was brought in. Orders from above.

I don't know much about her case. Celendi would have processed her.

I don't want to talk about it

Thank you, %PCName.

Here you go, %PCName. Take good care of it.

Thank you again for helping us, %PCName.

Wow, this amulet's just like the ones the Imperial officials wear when they come to talk business with House Hlaalu. It'll always remind me of her kindness, and yours too. Thank you for your help, %PCName. You're a good friend.

That's really kind of you, %PCName, but it seems like you don't have both the gold and the amulet. Did you leave them in the stash?

Wow, this amulet's just like the ones the Imperial officials wear when they come to talk business with House Hlaalu. It'll always remind me of her kindness, and yours too. Thank you for your help, %PCName. You're a good friend.

You don't have the amulet on you. Did you leave it in the stash?

Very well, then. I'll take it. Thank you for your help, %PCName. You're a good friend.

It seems like you don't have enough gold to give us. Did you leave it in the stash?

So you've found Alynu's stash, %PCName. She said that she's leaving us all her gold, and that amulet, and that we should split it with you. Nobody's ever treated us with kindness like that. We'd be happy with either the gold, or the amulet. Which do you want?

Can I read the note? Well! I... uh. I'm glad to know that she's safe. I... she was a good person, and I don't think she did the horrible things that she was accused of. And... and she says that she's leaving us all her gold, and that amulet. Nobody's ever treated us with kindness like that. We'd be happy with either the gold, or the amulet. Which do you want?

So you've found Alynu's stash? But where's the note? I'd really like to read it. Friendship like that is worth more than all the gold in the world.

She says that she's leaving us all her gold. Nobody's ever treated us with kindness like that. Except her... and you. Can you find it for us, %PCName? Feel free to take our shovel, upstairs.

You say Alynu gave you a note? Let me read it... Well! I... uh. I'm glad to know that she's safe. I... she was a good person, and I don't think she did the horrible things that she was accused of. And... and she says that she's leaving us all her gold. Nobody's ever treated us with kindness like that. Except her... and you. Can you find it for us, %PCName? Feel free to take our shovel, upstairs.

Alynu gave you a note, leaving us her stash? See, I knew she was a good person. Can you bring us the stash, and the note? I'd like to read it. Feel free to take our shovel, upstairs.

Read the note, %PCName.

You say Alynu gave you a note? Let me read it... Well! I... uh. I'm glad to know that she's safe. I... she was a good person, and I don't think she did the horrible things that she was accused of. Have you read it yet, %PCName? There's another kindness in there that's just proof of what I thought all along.

You say Alynu gave you a note? Where is it?

I heard the sad news, %PCName. Alynu Radrin was killed in jail. I guess that's it then.

Alright, %PCName. If you think she did it, then I can't ask you to do any more. That wouldn't be right. But you've already done a lot for us, and I've done some thinking. I'm willing to give you my guard helmet for a reward.

I'll be waiting.

I knew it! It knew it was a stitch-up! There's no way she'd kill someone, and the Camonna Tong kills people all the time. Everyone know they've got the Hlaalu in their pockets. Well -- what are you going to do? You'll get her the scroll, won't you?

She's a killer? I never would have guessed it. I heard about those murders, too. Everyone was talking about how awful they were. It's probably a good thing that they caught her. But... it just doesn't feel right. I don't think she could do it. Maybe you should ask her about it?

Tell me if you find out anything.

No? Please, sera. Nobody comes in here, and nobody cares about us. Please help.

Oh, you're one of the nice ones. Then I should tell you the truth: I'm not the captain of the guard. Also, I don't have anything to give you right now. I'll try to think of something. While I'm thinking, maybe you should go talk to the people in the Imperial Commission. It's the building right above our little watchtower. That's where they're keeping Alynu, I think.

Alynu Radrin. The guards never gave us any trouble before, even though we're squatting in their old watchtower. But then one day, they come marching in, kicking stuff over and shaking us down. They took Alynu away, and nobody would tell us why. She never said anything about herself. Maybe that's because she had bad stuff to hide. But she was a friend, too. I want to know why she was arrested. The guards wouldn't spit on someone like me, but maybe someone like you, they'll talk to. Will you help?
