 * Reward: None.
 * Optional Bonus: None.

Quest start
Orvas: "Musselia" he spits "imperial noblewoman, I'll pay you exorbitantly to defile her grave, terrible woman"

Bobby: "Riiight, I'm gonna sit this one out, you know how much doing something like that affects the family too? And how can you hate a person that much? By Rourken you're spittin' on your own damn floor..."

Orvas: "Ah, no you're not. And we had separate political ideals that she would viciously push. She wanted to control Septim inflation, while as a farm owner this would be bad for me. She was very isolationist being a Telvanni, but communication with Argonian nobility is what GETS ME workers for the plantation. She also criticised me for not working but still profiting! I work very, very hard..."

Bobby: "Right... I'll go with 'em, but don't mean I'm gonna do anythin'."

Orvas: ''"Whatever, ju-" a man interrupts, walking in the door of the office, they have long hair shaved at the sides, common clothes, baggy trousers tucked into boots, armoured only by the mismatching gauntlets they have on, and the singular pauldron on their left shoulder. "Ah, okay, I've told you what needs done, yeah? Don't have too long with this one. Get gone."''

Bobby grunts.

Gravestone
The gravestone in question is actually a memorial plaque where she’s buried on the street level (walkways) of the High Fane in Vivec City, a place where guards often patrol. It’s made from Ebony so is pretty undestroyable with anything and cannot be removed as is worked into the stone. The players have to find a creative way of defacing this, or use options (not given to players):
 * Find some sort of staining agent, such as a paint to stain it. Killing a Shalk and performing a successful intelligence roll can gather its ‘Blue Shalk Milk’ used as tattoo ink. You can also Calm or Command a Shalk and milk it for the same effect but without killing Shalk.
 * If the party talks to merchants about paint this can be told to them on a successful merchant intelligence roll.

As for Bobby, roll 2 intelligence rolls. On 2 failures he will suggest nothing: "I ain't got a clue, don't have the guts. Whatever I get I'll give to you, yeah?" On the first succeeding and the second failing he suggests: “Why don't you just throw paint on the thing and be done with it, don't look at me to pull the trigger.” (first option). On the first failing and the second succeeding he suggests: ''“Why don't you just put some glue over it so they can’t see it? Won't destroy it, get's the job done.”'' (second option). On both succeeding he suggests “Let's find the highest rank person 'round here and ASK NICELY for them to remove it.” (third option).
 * Mould over it with Raw Ebony, Resin, or Shalk Resin.
 * Find a way to talk to and persuade or intimidate Tholer Saryoni to put in motion to take down the plaque. People they ask about the plaque will point them to this NPC, as he is in-charge of it.

Finishing the quest
Upon return to Ibishammus it is surrounded by Ordinators in makeshift camps. Bobby will say: "Hey, called it didn't I?"

The party now has completed this quest and has now moved onto quest Inquisitor's Raid.
