That's been resolved, thanks to you.

You killed Stabby-Jak Merrus? I see. Thank you for letting me know. It's unexpected, but I'm just thankful you got him off my back. So long as nobody knows I was involved. As promised, I now owe you a favor. If you need any defense for criminal proceedings, all you have to do is ask.

Stabby-Jak Merrus is gone? Thank the Nine. As promised, I now owe you a favor. If you need any defense for criminal proceedings, all you have to do is ask.

You told him WHAT? He wants me dead, do you understand? Dead! Oh no, he's here! Guards! Guards! Help, I'm being murdered!

What you've said sounds hopeful. Maybe he took the hint. Perhaps I ought to -- wait. Who's that? You fool! You led him right to me! Guards! Guards! Help, I'm being murdered!

Have you looked into the matter yet? Please do hurry.

Damn you! No, don't prattle on. I have work to do if I want to get out of here alive.

Much obliged! I have it all set up for you, so it should be easy. Take this letter and this gold. The gold is for bribery. The letter describes how I've moved my office to High Rock. Look for my past client on the docks and convince him that I've moved out of town. He goes by the name Stabby-Jak Merrus. I've received word that he'll be coming in on a ship called Niben's Wind. Just be careful. Stabby-Jak is in Delagia's gang. I'm sure they trained him well.

I used to work as a lawyer in Cyrodiil. An unfortunate position that they don't appear to have much of here in Morrowind. I'm afraid my past is catching up with me, and I may need protection from an old client of mine. You see, my client has recently left prison and is planning to pay me a visit. Knowing his type, it will get violent. I am willing to do you a favor in the future, if you will intercept him for me. I can grease your way out of future trouble. So, will you help me?
