Now unrest is all but guaranteed. I can only hope, for your own sake, that in the future you aren't permitted to perform any tasks more complicated than paper-pushing.

No doubt their bloc is eroding by the minute. Your discretion was most appreciated, %PCRank.

Do you know what I just heard? The court clerks have been stirring up unrest among other workers against House Hlaalu. Can you guess what for? They say a Hlaalu operative murdered one of them in cold blood. Have you lost your mind, %PCRace? Are you incapable of listening to a single word I say? Now we'll all have our hands full dealing with this mess. You can expect no more work from me, or, if I have my wish, anyone else in House Hlaalu. Get out immediately.

You have fallen from the good graces of House Hlaalu, %PCRank. I will not take this matter any further until you make amends.

That should take care of them. Here's your payment. And may I share a few tips about how best to present yourself to make friends? Over the years, I've learned some things I think you'll find helpful. Consider it part of your reward, %PCRank. And talk to me when you're ready for more business.

Plant that note in Sa'Ravi's desk, then tell a guard about it. And do so quickly. We can't afford to waste time while they're busy building a coalition.

Perfect. I've written a postdated transaction to Sa'Ravi on behalf of one of the other clerks. I want you to plant it in her desk and inform a guard about it. Of course, she won't just let you stand in front of her and rummage through it, so use any methods at your disposal to do it discreetly. Deception, threats, bribery -- just make sure you aren't caught in the act. When you're finished, return to me immediately. Make it subtle and make it quick, %PCRank.

What? Is this supposed to be funny, %PCRank? No more of these games.

Are you ready? Great. Here, hand me the slip.

I need you to figure out who the court clerks' labor leader is and obtain a copy of a blank pay slip. This shouldn't be a difficult task, %PCRank. Get it done quickly.

The council recently passed a motion to begin paying court clerks in Hlaalu scrip rather than gold. The clerks aren't happy about this change, and they're threatening to unionize in response. Killing them is, of course, off the table. Instead, I plan on having their organizer arrested for fraud. First, bring me a blank pay slip and discover the identity of their labor leader. Once you've done that, come back to me so we can carry out the next step.
