Can't Buy a Kill (TR_m2_Ak_CantKill)
Index	Finishes Quest	Journal Entry
10		I met a Nord named Hrothdor in Akamora and agreed to help him place a writ with the local Morag Tong guild.
20		I talked with Vaden Salothril, the master of the Akamora Morag Tong, and he made clear that Hrothdor's request did not meet the standards necessary for an official Writ of Execution.
25		As the master of the Akamora Morag Tong is dead, there is no one able to accept Hrothdor's request.
30		I lied to Hrothdor and told him his request was accepted. He believed I am going to carry out his writ for Idrenie Odalyn in Sailen, and requested that I take her amulet in order to prove the job was done.
40		Idrenie is dead.
100	Finishes quest	Hrothdor was deeply upset that I couldn't make any headway with his request.
105	Finishes quest	Hrothdor is dead.
110	Finishes quest	I warned Idrenie that Hrothdor was trying to get her killed. She rewarded me with some coins and said she would go into hiding for a while.
120	Finishes quest	Hrothdor was ecstatic that Idrenie is dead, especially since he believes it was done legally. He paid me for the job.
125	Finishes quest	I told Hrothdor that Idrenie was dead, but as it was not done legally, he was unwilling to reward me.
145	Finishes quest	Upon talking to a Morag Tong master, I learned I'd been expelled for taking Hrothdor's 'writ'.
150	Finishes quest	Because I posed as a Morag Tong member in order to complete Hrothdor's 'writ', I was told that I will not get a second chance with the Morag Tong if I am expelled.
