Quest start
The party have been asked to journey to the No Name Club after a week upon finishing The Start of Forever.

No Name Club
''Upon entering the club, the players see the reformed Camonna Tong, with old smugglers and merchants seen once in Ibishammus now again hard at work. On a table alone, in the back corner, packing a bag is Balz, he beckons the party over. "Hey, uhh. How are you doin'?"'' After any party answer, and improvised dialogue, he will continue. ''A silence passes. "Look, I want you to come downstairs with me." He slings his pack over himself and begins walking to a backroom.'' The party may follow. ''He unlocks a door and climbs down a trapdoor to the basement area of the club. He walks into the office, in which J'Krin is sitting writing in a ledger. Balz knocks, to which J'Krin gets up, smiles at the sight of the party and reaches for a hug. "S'good to see y'all." Balz points to a shrine. "The Daedra took his body, but it don't mean we can't have a funeral here." The group walks to the shrine in the back of the office. After a silence, Balz talks: "S'a war in this world; but most importantly there's a war between you and you. Same as everyone else. Rest easy now Voshu Ornim... We love you." Balz kneels at the shrine, and J'Krin nods, smiling. After a moment she turns to the party; "I've restored the Camonna Tong to it's heyday, we're back to the ground floor with wealth, but we'll rebuild." Balz walks to J'Krin giving her a huge hug. She says "I'll miss ya'." "Me too, love you." "Love ya' too kid." Balz walks out the room. "Balz was gonna take over but... fuck I'll let 'em tell ya'. I've put us in charge as Kingpins, if you give me freedom to be a major control though I'll give you gold an' you ain't gotta do nothin'. I wanna move over to merchanting with jus' a small amount'a shit on the side. You've seen what it can do to people, that shit real evil you know? I don't wanna make gold off anythin' that kills people. So yeah, come back'n collect it whenever ya' want. I'mma be takin' a back role too on practical work; might not look like it but I'm gettin' older, turnin' 63 soon!" She laughs. "Here, take these" She hands the party her gauntlets. "I no longer want them... I'll keep Bobby's shrine, that man was Khajiit to me, to us... As long as I'm here it'll be here. Oh, and Balz should still be preppin', I suggest you say bye to the lad."''

Finishing the quest
Balz is no longer anywhere around the club. The players can leave. Going into the foreign plaza they no longer see him either. The players can leave the plaza. ''Now outside the party sees Balz, he's looking over the waters of Vivec city. He notices the party. "Life is like a bridge, Bobby sayin' that really stuck with me. Everyone has their own valleys to cross; some of us get confident and blind and fall before it's even complete, some of us complete it and can lay down melting peacefully into the ground on the other side knowing we did good work... Maybe I knew it was going to happen to him but I didn’t want to accept it, and maybe its gonna happen to me." He turns to the party: "J'Krin picked this up on the way out, I want you to have it." He hands the party Bobby's gun. "I done keep talkin' to myself, goin' back n' forth. I feel like I'm doin' wrong, and feel as if I know better." Balz pauses, looking back over the city below. "I'm leavin' for Sentinel; I'm gonna find and tell Bobby's mother, they clearly meant a lot to each-other. After bein' with her for a while I'm gonna head to Cyrodiil; I need to be on my own... This is goodbye; thank you for everythin', I won't forget it, I love all y'all." He hands the party the key to the No Name Club guildhall, and reaches out for a hug from the entire party. After this, he waves goodbye and walks off, disappearing into the canton.''

The party has finished the Camonna Tong epilogue encounter and may now be sent the link to the new guildhall.
