A Rope Salesman

I met a well-dressed man standing next to a noose hanging from a tree. The man, Vespertius Pertinax wants me to buy the rope that's hanging from the tree. He demands 300 septims for it.

Vespertius Pertinax attacked me.

I bought the rope from Vespertius Pertinax.

I killed Vespertius Pertinax. He won't bother travelers with his salesman routine any longer.
