I requested that the East Empire Company's board of directors send an investigator to follow up on a lead in Menaan. They apparently sent Morio Stulti. He is certainly a choice. We work with what we are given.

I'd rather die than go to your jails, weakling.

Hmph. Fine. But give it back when you're done.

It is, and it's not yours. Give it back.

It is, and it's not yours. Give it back.

Don't waste my time, soldier.

What's it to you? If you're not here to buy a weapon, then leave me alone.

What's it to you? If you're not here to buy a weapon, then leave me alone.

Do you need anything else? I do believe we are done here.

Never. Jurgan! Kill them!

Then get out of here.

A pleasure doing business. I'll be disposing of this. You can run back to your superiors and get Orzuk in all the trouble you want. He's the killer, if you didn't know. You should be able to find the body in the pond west over the wall, and the weapon in his room.

I see you've got my ledger. Care to return it to me? I'll give you 500 drakes.

So, you gave the axe to Kathellomar. Do you really think anything will come of it? The Hlaalu and the Legion have an understanding. But my ledger... that could still be troublesome. Return it to me for 500 drakes, and we can both forget this unpleasantness.

It's so sad how he left our fair town. He was such a delightful fellow. If you find out where he went, do let me know.

Who cares about him anymore? You took my daughter from me.

I have no time for these trifles. Speak with my daughter.

You've got my advice. Do you need anything else?

Try looking in his personal effects. I'll look the other way if you bust his door open. It's no murder weapon, but you might be able to figure a motive. Or not. Who can say? You might also do well to seek out Darra, at her house by the silt strider. She has an eye for this sort of thing.

You've got my advice. Now if you will, I have to reactivate my traps. You are excused.

That Orc, Orzuk gro-Gum, is a shady character. Says he's a blacksmith, but he does hits for the Vandos when they want it. If you figure the Vandos wanted that Stulti fellow dead, you'd do well to search his home.

I don't take it kindly when people barge into my home uninvited. Leave me be.

%Name has said what she knows. Leave her be.

%Name has seen something. She saw the Orc Orzuk gro-Gum dropping something heavy into the pond -- something person-sized -- just west over the wall, late at night. Perhaps the %PCRace should go for a swim.

%Name does not like your questions. Can you be trusted?

I don't know anything. But that Novor Dals is no friend of the Vandos. Maybe he can help you out.

Don't know what you mean. I figured he just decided to go home.

We're letting the boys up in Ashmoth handle it now, is what I heard. Seems odd to me. But it's not my business.

I saw you were heading back to the Fort, so I came with you. Did you report to Rojanna?

That's all wrapped up. Good job, %PCRank.

That's all wrapped up. Good job, %PCRank.

I think we've just about wrapped this up. Morio's probable killer is dead, and we've got the ringleader in custody. I'll be taking a moment to sort out particulars with the local guards. You get back to Rojanna and tell her the good news.

It's good that we bagged Raynil, but I think the one who actually killed Morio is still on the loose. I'll keep an eye on her, you head back into town and see if you can't find out who did it.

So you found a beat-up, used axe in this Orzuk guy's home, and Morio looked like someone had used an axe to kill him. Seems pretty clear to me what happened. Since Orzuk's already dead, I suppose we're done here, unless you figure there's more to be done. Feel free to head back to Rojanna and let her know what happened.

So you found a beat-up, used axe in this Orzuk guy's home, and Morio looked like someone had used an axe to kill him. Seems pretty clear to me what happened. I'll take him back to Ancylis if you arrest him.

His killer's dead, so I'd guess we're done here. Unless you think there's more to be done around here, you can probably just report back to Rojanna now. I'll stick around and smooth things over with the guards while you're doing that.

So you say you found his body in the lake, and it looked like he'd been chopped up? Well I'll be. I was sure he just got lost in a cave, or something. Since we've got a cause of death, all we need now is to find a weapon and pin it to someone. Have you found any suspects?

Go on and find him, or at least find out what happened.

I'd guess that Rojanna already told you the broad strokes of the matter. Ask the locals if they've seen Morio Stulti, and try and find him -- dead or alive. If he's alive, then escort him back to town, but if he's dead, we'll need to arrest the perpetrator. If it comes to that, I'll be the one to escort them to the fort. You should probably start by asking the local nobles for information: Raynil and Dathlyn Vando, Novor Dals, and Nadras Arvel. I think you should be able to find them in their homes.

You're a brute. And a fool. There's no place for people like you in the Legion.

I'm not happy with what you did in Menaan, but I suppose it could have been worse. The killer wasn't anyone important, it seems.

You had Vando arrested. Actions like this erode the fragile peace between the Empire and the local Dunmer.

You've attempted to arrest the killer, in a native settlement outside our jurisdiction. He wasn't anyone important, but you need to practice restraint in these matters. The Velothis legions could have easily handled this.

Menaan's not in our jurisdiction. It's in Velothis District, and we're in Mournhold District. Not to mention, simply blundering into a major town and detaining the locals isn't the sort of thing we should be doing. It's in everyone's best interest to give House Hlaalu our cooperation and respect. Instead of doing what Rojanna wants, I want you to come back here with any evidence you find. I'll ensure this is done through the proper channels.

We have nothing more to discuss on that matter.

You killed Marcius? What's wrong with you? Accident or not, I don't want to see you in Fort Ancylis or in the Legions again, do you understand? There's no place here for your type. Get out of my sight.

You killed her? You can't just murder people you're investigating, no matter how clear their guilt is. You don't deserve that uniform. Get out of here.

Justice is served, thanks to you.

Sounds good, but I'll need that evidence you found. Find that axe and get back to me.

Excellent, %PCRank. Those damned elves won't flout the law on my watch. Take this blade; whenever you need to get the truth out of someone again, it'll loosen their lips. One more thing: see to it that the East Empire Company gets their ledger back. Mette Black-Briar in Old Ebonheart should be able to take it.

Sounds good, but I'll need that evidence you found. Find the murder weapon and get back to me.

Excellent, %PCRank. Those damned elves won't flout the law on my watch. Take this blade; whenever you need to get the truth out of someone again, it'll loosen their lips. And here's a book on swordsmanship; its lessons should serve you well. One last task, before we're done. Take that ledger you found back to the East Empire Company. Mette Black-Briar in Old Ebonheart should want it.

Sounds all well and good %PCRank, but the true killer is still at large. Get back to Menaan and arrest Orzuk gro-Gum for his crimes.

Sounds all well and good %PCRank, but it doesn't seem like you've got a murder weapon. Get back to Menaan and gather more proof.

Keep looking. I'm certain there's something going on here.

I understand Kathellomar is attempting to assist you in this investigation. As long as this criminal is brought to justice, I can sleep happily.

Anything happen with the investigation yet?

Let me know if anything else happens with the investigation.

He's an agent of the East Empire Company, sent to Menaan to investigate the finances of one Raynil Vando. She's the daughter of Menaan's governor, and she got in some hot water after being accused of embezzling money from the Company. Now Morio's nowhere to be found. Suspicious, don't you think? Get to Menaan and have a look around. I've sent Marcius Arius to help with the investigation. Go talk with him. He'll be near the strider.
