It didn't work out very well, %PCName.

The three challenges are concluded.

Both Kelkemmello and Saturius are participating right now.

Report back to me when you've informed Kelkemmello and Saturius of the three challenges. They should both be in Julianos' Tower.

Well... if you say so. But do let me know if you change your mind.

Splendid. Talis Nerethril's two apprentices were Kelkemmello and Saturius. You can find them in Julianos' Tower. Please inform both apprentices of the three challenges and tell them to report to the Great Hall at once. In the meantime, I'll have my staff prepare the first challenge.

The first challenge shall be a test of their ability to create wondrous magical items out of rags, the second shall be a test of their mastery over the lowly Daedra, and the final challenge shall be a magical duel. The first to win two out of three challenges shall be declared the new court wizard. All you need to do is help move the challenges along and make sure the two understand each one. Don't worry -- you'll be compensated fairly. What do you say?

Saturius doesn't stand a chance.

Surely my work under Talis Nerethril is significant enough for a promotion? Well, I can't exactly argue with the castellan. If he wants to see my skills first, then so be it. Saturius doesn't stand a chance anyway.

Yes, I think I'm ready.

Three challenges, you say? Well, it's nice to know that I haven't been dismissed outright. This shall be the ultimate test of all my studies. I'll report to the Great Hall once I gather my belongings.
