You killed her? Saved us the trouble, I guess.

You'd better not bring it up, %PCName.

That debt has been settled.

Give it to me. You've been a good little thief, %PCName. There might be a place for someone with your skills in our organization. I'll mention your name to Mister Delagia. Who knows -- maybe we'll contact you in the near future to do another job for us. And yes. I'm keeping my end of the bargain. Nelara's debt is settled. You can tell her that she can keep calling that miserable hut her home.

Ah, good. I happen to know that Vendicci keeps her signet ring in the upstairs dressing room of her manor. One can enter that room from the manor proper, but it might be worth a shot to try to find a different way into her chamber. Find it and bring it to me -- and Nelara's debt is as good as gone, cross my heart.

I have some paperwork I need to finish for Mister Delagia, but for that I need Merxia Vendicci's signet ring. Now, she's the director of the East Empire Company, so I figure she must be really busy all the time. Best not to bother her with asking for the ring. It'd be much better if someone just took the signet ring without asking, no?

Hmmph. Good. I'm keeping my end of the bargain. Nelara's debt is settled. You can tell her that she can keep calling that miserable hut her home.

You don't have the money, genius.

Oh, really? Trying to be a hero for the downtrodden, eh? Champion of the little people? Don't make me laugh. We are running a business here. You might not like it... you might even think we're being unethical, but everything we do here is perfectly within the limits of the law. You can't touch us.

Is that so? Quit wasting my time, punk.

Where's Merxia Vendicci's signet ring?

This again? Why would you even want to help her? Just let it go. These lazy freeloaders will never learn if someone is always there to rescue them. The deal remains the same. 1000 septims, and no coin less. Still, if you did a little job for me, I could make Nelara's debt go away.

Yeah, Nelara's one of our tenants. Her rent's overdue and she hasn't paid back her loans. She can't do it? Tough luck. She should've thought about it before she became our tenant and loaned money from us. She knows the rules. People who don't pay their dues to mister Delagia end up in the street. No amount of crying is going to change that. Now, lemme consult the ledger. In total, she owes us 1000 gold. No coin less. But if you want to settle Nelara's debt for good, maybe you could do a little job for us?

Get lost, moron.

What makes you think I know something about that? Talk to Medemilian Rane. He is my accountant.

Mister Delagia doesn't deal with nobodies like you. Talk to Medemilian Rane. He is our accountant.

Please, don't remind me of that.

I shall never forget your kindness, %PCName.

My debt is settled? Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you! You've saved me, %PCName. I can keep my home! Oh, what a joyful day! I have nothing to offer you as a reward, but I shall never forget this act of kindness. And please, extend my thanks to her highness as well. She certainly made the right call picking you for this task!

Please speak with the gang for me. Explain that my situation is hopeless and that I simply can't pay them back. Make them understand. Their base is in Otrebus Delagia's house.

You're from the Guild, here to help me? Thank you! I can't say how much exactly they think I owe them. Whenever they come to collect the rent, they just say an amount. One week it could be 50 gold, the next week it's 150. Makes no sense to me. I don't have enough money, so they forced me to take a loan from them. Now I can't pay it back and they're losing their patience. Could you please speak with the gang for me? You can find them in Otrebus Delagia's house, just outside of my home.

Make amends first, %PCName. Then we can talk.

You handled that horribly, %PCName. Don't remind me.

You did a good deed helping Nelara. I will not forget it.

The debt has been settled! You've done a good deed, %PCRank, and earned my respect. However, I'm afraid this won't be the last we've heard of Delagia's gang. The next time they'll cause trouble, I'll be sure to call on you for help. Oh, and I almost forgot. I originally told you that there wouldn't be a reward for this job. Well, here's a Scroll of Ekash's Locksplitter nonetheless. You've earned it. Now, talk to Fentus if you want a new job.

You n'wah. You killed Nelara, didn't you? No... I don't care to hear the twisted reasoning behind your actions. Leave me.

You killed Medemilian Rane? This was not supposed to happen. Your actions may spell trouble for the Guild. They won't care about Nelara's debt now, though. I'm afraid this won't be the last we've heard of Delagia's gang. Now, talk to Fentus if you want a new job.

You've managed to settle the debt? If that's true, you should let Nelara know of it. Come back after you've done that.

Nelara still needs our help with having her debt settled. We might be thieves, but we're also citizens of Old Ebonheart. We care for our city and its people and their well-being. Especially the poor people of the east side.

We have a rival gang here in the city, Delagia's gang. They seek only to exploit the poor of Old Ebonheart. They own some houses here on the east side and have the law on their side. Nelara is one of their tenants, just across the street. She hasn't been able to pay her rent and is now facing eviction... or worse. I want you to go to her and find a way to help her. I must warn you that you'll gain no reward from this job. We care for our city and its people, and protecting the poor is our duty.
