| 5 | A beggar told me I could find S'krivva at the Lonely Suitor Lodge. | ||
| 6 | I have learned that Dairihill's office is in the castle's private quarters, which is off limits. I should look for an indirect way to get in there. | ||
| 7 | (Player has found the blacksmith) | ||
| 10 | S'krivva tells me that the Gray Fox is tired of Hieronymus Lex causing problems. He wants Lex removed once and for all. Countess Umbranox of Anvil is in need of a Captain of the Guard. She sent away for a list of recommendations from the Imperial Watch guard. I must create a forgery that recommends Lex and deliver it to her personally. The Gray Fox has a special interest in Countess Umbranox and has chosen Lex to be her protector. Very curious. then
First, I steal the letter from steward Dairihill's desk in Castle Anvil. Then get a forgery made. I have to find and pay for my own forger. Then seal it with the Imperial Watch seal from the legion commander's desk in the Imperial City. Dairihill cannot be trusted to deliver the letter. I must personally deliver the forged letter to Countess Umbranox of Anvil. I will be paid 500 gold, plus the cost of the forgery. | ||
| 12 | A beggar told me that there may be secret ways in the castle. I am supposed to find the blacksmith. I'm not really sure why. | ||
| 13 | Orrin has shown me a secret passage within the walls of Castle Anvil. It should let me get closer to Dairihill's office without being seen by the castle guards. | ||
| 15 | My sources tell me that there is a master forger in Anvil. He is known only as The Stranger. He lives in a house by the Mages Guild. | ||
| 20 | I have the letter. Now I need to find a forger. | ||
| 30 | I delivered the letter to The Stranger. He said to return in a day and he would have the new letter ready. It's going to cost 500 gold coins. | ||
| 40 | The Stranger has forged a new letter for me. Now I have to go to the Imperial Legion compound in the Imperial City. I have to seal the letter using the official seal of the Legion Commander. | ||
| 50 | I've sealed the letter with the Legion Commander's seal. Now I must deliver it to Countess Umbranox personally. I will take on the role of courier. | ||
| 66 | (Switch Lex's inventory) | ||
| 67 | (Switch Lex's armor) | ||
| 80 | Countess Umbranox has given me her response. Now I need to deliver it to Hieronymus Lex. The look on his face should be priceless. | ||
| 85 | Hieronymus Lex was shocked to learn he had been reassigned. Now the Thieves Guild will be safe from his persecution. All I have to do is get back to S'krivva to collect my reward. | ||
| 90 | ✔ | S'krivva thanked me for my help in this delicate matter. Hieronymus Lex will no longer be a threat to the Thieves Guild or the Gray Fox. | |
