Quest start
Starting off, Lorbumol says: "I have a bounty contact on a lowlife dealer down on the docks, over in Ebonheart; should be easy enough. I know where he is, but not who. Just look out for the one in the overly big robes and mask."

Ebonheart and Clavicus Vile
In Ebonheart, the players see the target as described. ''They are wearing large brown mages robes and a black bandanna as a mask on a quiet part of the dock. Upon seeing the players he will sprint away even without properly looking at the players, running down the dock to a more populated area and jumping on a sailing off, escaping.''

With the failed collection attempt, the players leave the dock. On their way out of the docks, one players ''bumps hard into a young Altmer-looking boy. The player goes down while the boy is unmoving, gesturing for the players hand to help them up. He speaks: "Woo! I'm sorry, I DID see you there. Let me help you up..." He smiles. After the players reply he will lead into saying: "I saw your bounty target escaped. Disappointed? I'm not! Hehehe... You think you lose and that's the end. It's not... I experience time differently to you, I can help you kill them. Accept my offer and they die... So, what do you say?.."''

If the players decline
The boy replies to this, saying ''"Darn! Well, probably for the best; I'll go find my entertainment elsewhere, you people ARE dull..." The boy sets off walking, leaving round the corner onto the docks.'' If followed by the players the boy can no longer be found.

If the players accept
The boy replies to this, saying ''"Not as much of a blockhead as I thought! Yoo-hoo! This WILL be fun... Now... Hold still! Just kidding, you can run as much as you'd like, fate always finds." He opens his hands wide, pauses for a moment, and swings them together, clapping loudly. The time of day changes to the deep night, and the people on the street disappear, though the boy remains. He says: "Head to the Arena canton plaza, go outside and face the Redoran Canton; I'll even meet you there!" The boy then disappears.''

The party may go to this location. Upon arriving, they find ''the boy sitting on the wall looking down into the water far below. The party hear muffled yelling from far away. "These things are so high, tried to get some built in my OWN realm to rival it. Many died!" He says this enthusiastically. "Either way, see those bars FAR, FAR across there on the other pyramid? Through those heavy bars is who you're looking for, see them?" The party can see the same figure in robes across in the bars, yelling to someone. The boy summons a mounted, large, wooden crossbow on the canton half wall. The yelling stops. "Shoot this, and the hit will be complete. I'll even throw in one of this fingers as evidence!" If players hesitate, he says "Come on! Don't be boring, the arrow will fly itself! It's MAGIC..." he says proudly. After firing, the arrow curves into the grate, the players see it pierce the person, who stops yelling, and falls. The mounted crossbow disappears and the boy says: "Be a moment!" disappearing. A minute goes by, to which the boy the reappears and hands the party a tanned finger. "Thank you, this SHOULD be FUN! See you sooooon!" The boy claps once more, and the party are now back on the dock, watching their bounty sail away..."''

Finishing the quest
Upon return to Lorbumol, he says ''"Oh, you're back! That was quick. And a finger..? Thaaanks... Don't do that again, I'll take your word, I guess." He looks disgusted.''

The party now has completed this quest and has now moved onto quest Alleius' Bounty.
