A horrible bit of business, that. I would have stepped in if I had any knowledge of it.

Yes, it was me. Farusi and Trelam helped me. No one else knew about it. And before you ask, no, I'm not sorry. I'd do it again in a second. It won't be long until all of you outlanders are kicked out of Morrowind and I get out of this cell.

You did well, %pcrank, but I can't help the feeling that we failed. Maybe it was an impossible task.

It was the strangest thing, %pcrank. Our agents came out of the mine with a note. It was allegedly written by Trelam Llendo, one of the smugglers you killed, and he was bragging about tricking the rest of the warehouse and the governor. They apparently had no knowledge of the scheme. I find it hard to believe, but the governor and upper brass in Narsis are going along with it. You did well, but I believe that's where this ends. At least we got the contraband. This crossbow is for you, %pcrank. Use it well.

It was the strangest thing, %pcrank. As soon as our agents emerged from the mine, Ivrosa over there came to the post and confessed to all of it. She claimed that she and the dead guards were solely responsible. I doubt her story, but the governor and upper brass in Narsis are going along with it. You did well, but I believe we may have failed here. At least we got the contraband. This crossbow is for you, %pcrank. Use it well.

Come back in a day if you want to know the results of your work. Take a rest in the meantime. You've earned it.

You've already cleared out the smugglers? Efficient. I'm surprised my source didn't mention this. Excellent work, %pcrank. I'll have others go down there to secure the contraband. It should be enough evidence to begin making arrests. Return in a day if you want to see the results of your work. I may have a reward for you then as well. Take a rest in the meantime, you've earned it.

It's all clear down there? Excellent work, %pcrank. I'll have others go down there to secure the contraband. It should be enough evidence to begin making arrests. Return in a day if you want to see the results of your good work. Take a rest in the meantime. You've earned it.

You get my husband killed, then bring these accusations into my store? Get out before I have my son throw you out. Wretch.

Hmm... perhaps you should talk to Meldras about this, friend. He may be able to help you.

I have no idea what you're talking about, outlander.

Be careful down in the mines, friend. Those people are dangerous.

I'd normally say that I have no idea what you're talking about, but I believe I owe it to you. You can have this key. It opens the door into my basement. There's a tunnel into the mines down there. You're welcome to use it whenever you please. Just be careful down there. The types that spend their time down there are dangerous. I don't want to have to go down there and rescue you. Ha!

I've seen a lot of things from this watchtower. I remember once, I saw a few paupers enter the abandoned store across the road. Skooma addicts, I thought at first, until I saw the miners' picks in their hands. I considered reporting it to Madala, but I decided not to. She would want to arrest them and seal up the tunnel. I thought it could be of some use to us on a day like today. I believe I was right.

You were very considerate the last time you were in my House. I may know a thing or two that could help you. You know the Avilo family, right? They sell gems for a much lower price than most. I've long suspected that they have another source for them. Namely, a secret way into the mines. If you need another route, they might be able to help you.

The mines? I may know a thing or two. You know the Avilo family, right? They sell gems for a much lower price than most. I've long suspected that they have another source for them. A secret way into the mines, namely. If you need another route, they might be able to help you.

You're looking for another way into the mines? I may know something, but I'm not sure if I can trust you enough to tell you.

The governor must have caught wind of our plan. I've long suspected that he's been on the Camonna Tong's payroll. I'm unsure on how you should proceed from here. Someone else may have an idea. Llavela Vian always keeps an ear to the ground, and though we aren't in the wilderness, Yul-Nammula has sharp eyes. Maybe one of them could help you.

The governor gave you a key? You're welcome to enter, then.

I don't know anything about that. The mine is closed because it's dangerous in there. Governor's orders. We don't want anyone getting hurt now, do we?

You're welcome to enter the mine. I wouldn't question the motivations of someone of your status.

You want to enter the mine? But -- of course, %pcrank. Here's a key. Tell the guards that I gave it to you. You won't have any trouble.

What's your game here, %pcrank? The mine is closed, and I believe you know why. Where do your loyalties really lie?

I received a report about a tunnel collapsing in the mine, so I posted guards in front of the door. I don't want anybody going in there and getting hurt. End of story.

You were already given your orders. Find a way in, then execute the smugglers and make the mine safe for our agents to dispose of the contraband.

Our source said that the contraband is being stored in the lower level of the mine here in Shipal-Sharai. They look to be gearing up for a big shipment and it's important we strike before that happens. The mine is locked down, and they've added extra security. First, find a way in. Someone in town might know a back door that we aren't aware of. Then, execute the smugglers and make the mine safe for our agents to safely dispose of the contraband. Go with the Nine, %pcrank.
