I do not know who to blame other than your Guild for its incompetence.

I mourn over their deaths, but I do not know who to blame other than your Guild for its incompetence. I advise you not to bother neither the Indarens nor the Veris with your inquiries, however. Whether they're innocent or not is irrelevant. An outlander asking questions would offend them either way. And frankly, these questions offend me as well. You should talk with the Morag Tong. Though the thugs you describe sound nothing like the Tong, they might at least know who they were.

You've been expelled from the Fighters Guild. If you make amends, we can speak about your orders.

Flaalsa informed me that both the Veris and the Indarens are furious with the way the investigation was held. You weren't supposed to anger the nobility: you were supposed to find the culprit behind all this! Now the opposing families are all suspecting each other of the murder and the Guild has lost face. The Indarens are demanding a reprimand for you. I am inclined to comply. You've caused this Guild quite enough trouble. You are hereby expelled from the Fighters Guild. Now leave.

It has been brought to my attention that you went and executed Selari Danaran without getting her to confess to the assassination. Do you have any idea what you've done? Without a confession the noble families of Akamora will see this as not only an unlawful killing, but also as a failure to find the real culprit. Now that you've recklessly killed Danaran without any evidence we'll never know if she indeed was guilty. Think twice about your future actions. You are dismissed.

You've executed Selari Danaran? Well done, %PCRank. However, since the Telomas are dead I can't give you any rewards. The nominal fee they paid in advance will be used to give our late comrade Circus Leonos a proper burial. But do know that you've earned my utmost respect. Without you finding the culprit behind all this, the Guild's standing in Akamora would've suffered a tremendous blow. Thanks to you we survive to see another day. Perhaps even another contract, too. I hope to give you new orders soon.

Report back to me when you've found and dealt with the culprit.

Three possible candidates come to mind. First is the Indaren family and their allies the Veri family. I'd be extremely careful with the way you conduct your inquiries with the nobles. Offending them would be a huge mistake. Then there's Selari Danaran, a former Indaren hireling who held a personal grudge against Pilu Telomas. I'd also recommend you talk to lord Novas Senim. Since he employed Pilu Telomas he might have a good idea which one of her enemies could be behind all this.

Then Laalalvo has become more Imperial than I had thought. She'd be wiser to move her precious Guild away from here. But I will help you. Be aware that this is all off the record. You're not a representative of the law. If I receive word that you've caused any unnecessary discord in town with your inquiries, I will have my guards jail you rather than risk having the noble families warring against each other. Understood?

That is something I can live with to preserve peace in Akamora. The Telomas were Senim retainers. The Senims and the Indaren family along with all their allies are locked in a behind the scenes power struggle over the lordship of this town. An investigation would inevitably pull all the animosity between the rivaling nobles out into the open. And if we were to imply even slightly that one of the families was behind the assassination--the Three forbid it--that would trigger a violent chain of events.

The Indaren family, the Veri family and Selari Danaran are the prime suspects. Remember to be discreet with your investigation. There's no need to fuel the animosity between the rivaling nobles. Asking the wrong questions from the wrong people might have dire consequences.

I have heard news of their violent deaths. My sister was right to guess that there will be no investigation on our part. The way I see it, the case is closed. You killed the assassins, didn't you?

Nosy outlander... You just couldn't stay away, huh? You're just like Pilu Telomas. She couldn't keep her mouth shut so I had to teach her a lesson. Now it seems you're in need of one, too.

Why don't you find some proof before accusing me, n'wah?

Three thugs wielding poison blades? Yeah, I knew them alright. Bunch of lowlifes who killed for little coin. Often screwed up their contracts. Left witnesses like you alive. Any self-respecting noble family would have never risked hiring them. I don't know who did though.

Do I look like a rat to you? I don't discuss other people's affairs with someone I don't like.

That amateurish butchering was not our doing, and I have no idea who the thugs who carried it out were. You should talk with Fedril Verothran downstairs. He often keeps company with unsavory people and might have known them.

Your Guild's insolence will not go unpunished.

You will not insult our family with your questions any further, outlander. I hear you've been harassing the Veris as well with your sham of an investigation. We've had enough of you and your n'wah Guild. Your days of occupying this town, acting bold and insolent as if the Cyrod Empire wasn't a thousand miles away, are nearing an end.

You've been told already that we didn't order their assassination. You need to stop asking questions, Fighters Guild bloodhound. Perhaps you're just trying to cover up your own involvement?

Does the arrogance of you outlanders know no bounds? You come into my house and accuse me of organizing that butchering. I will tell you that we had nothing to do with the deaths of the Telomas. And that is the last time I want to hear that name under our roof. You may go back where you came from.

The Senim hirelings who got slaughtered? We had nothing to do with it. You need to stop asking questions, outlander. Perhaps you're just trying to cover up your own involvement?
