Like I said, they must be holed up in Gulmebi. It's a cave north of the stronghold Hlorandar. You can find it by traveling north up the Thirr, and it'll be overlooking an embankment on the right.

Ovramie sent you? Hmph. Well, I just saw them leave. North of the stronghold Hlorandar, on the east bank of the River Thirr, there's a little grotto named Gulmebi. There used to be an old monk holed up there, but since he disappeared there've been smugglers coming and going daily. There's a Dunmer and Nord among them that always move as a pair. Follow the river north past the stronghold and it'll be overlooking an embankment on the right.

Yes, yes, I'm very happy for you, outlander. You were useful, but I'm afraid this is the end of our business relationship. So get out. Can I be any clearer?

You put them down, did you? Well, I'm surprised, %PCRace. What? Are you waiting for me to reward you? Fine. You can have this. Evidently my men don't have any use for it. Now our business is over. I'd recommend leaving. For an extended period of time.

You can hear, can't you? Go ask Sodren Gals. He's our man at the docks outside the Cat-Catchers Hall. And if you happen to deal with those thugs, I'd like to know.

Their chief concern is the production of a drug called greydust -- intensely addictive and utterly ruinous to one's health. Their bands have been terrorizing Narsis recently, so I suspect it's one of those groups you're after. If you want to assist your House, go to the docks outside the Cat-Catchers Hall and talk to Sodren Gals. If what you say is true, he'll help put you on their tail.

Well. Normally I wouldn't pay any mind to what an n'wah has to say, but you've done well bringing this to our attention. No, we didn't rob your outlander friend. However, I suspect I know who did. Do you know about the Ja-Natta Syndicate? They're a ruthless upstart criminal organization from the east. Unlike us, they have no conception of honorable dealings or pride or brotherhood. They hire without discretion to race, creed or honor to perform their deplorable acts.

I appreciate your help, %PCRace, I really do. But enough of that depressing matter. Anything catch your eye? Maybe you need help finding something?

Really? Ah yes, beautiful. That's right, back where you belong... ahem. Anyways, I can't exactly reward you in gold -- carpentry doesn't come cheap in this city -- so why don't you take some of these? And one of these... and why not this as well? They're from my Upper Niben collection. They're sure to fetch a nice price somewhere. Western fashions are all the rage these days. And if you do come back, I'll give you my best discount on anything. That's the Saenus Dibuntus guarantee.

Oh, that's unfortunate. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. Who knows what those crooks did with it? Well, I appreciate your help nonetheless, %PCRace.

You did? Give it here! Let's see... oh, thank the Emperor! It's in perfect condition! Well, minus a bit of dust. Say -- did you happen to get my protection money back? If my memory serves me right, it was 850 gold. I think. Can you believe it? What brigandage.

Then what are you doing just standing around?! Go and get them back! Who knows what those blockheads have done to my beautiful, fine glassware by now...

What is it? Have you retrieved my stolen goods yet?

By the Nine! You've finally decided to help? Bah. So much for Hlaalu hospitality. Anyways, it's exactly as I said: A few days ago, as I was opening for the morning, some rough types, a scrawny Dark Elf and a Nord fellow, barged in and began wreaking havoc! The Nord grabbed me by the collar, saying the Camonna Tong demanded protection money. Can you believe it? I paid, of course, as any man would, and they quickly absconded with some of my finest glassware. They could've at least stolen some brandy...

You're looking for Ovramie Heleran in the Council Club. She handles a lot of our business topside in the Market Quarter. If anyone ordered that s'wit robbed, she'd know about it.

Hah! That's a good one, outlander! Tell me -- have you ever seen a Nord running with the Tong before? You haven't, because we don't get buddy-buddy with filthy n'wah. So whoever it was, it wasn't us. But if you want do us and your House a favor, why don't you go tell Ovramie Heleran about the inept savages running around on her turf? She's here in the Council Club.

What makes you think I know anything about that? Try asking your outlander friend about it yourself.

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

I appreciate your assistance with the Market Quarter robbery, %PCName.

The Ja-Natta Syndicate? I see. I should have laid the situation out to you sooner. I'm glad you managed to resolve the situation, but this is very concerning, %PCRank. For them to act so brazenly in the heart of Narsis -- clearly they are a larger threat than we anticipated, or at least consider themselves to be so. In any case, here's your reward. Return to me whenever you'd like to discuss more business.

Go deal with that robbery in the Market Quarter. Saenus Dibuntus' shop is on the Market Quarter's central street. House Hlaalu does a good deal of business with Camonna Tong-owned establishments, so it's important that we resolve this issue as soon as possible. If they know you're acting on official House business, they should be willing to cooperate.

One of the merchants in the Market Quarter, Saenus Dibuntus, has been complaining to the authorities that the Camonna Tong robbed his store. He's an outlander who sells foreign goods, so few care to get involved, but the behavior of these Tong agents is concerning for trade relations in the city if he's telling the truth. I need you to get a report from him, ask the Camonna Tong who robbed his store, and get the merchant's goods back to him to prevent a scandal.
