Detailed Walkthrough

Duties

Ranis Athrys at the Guild of Mages in Balmora will ask you to head over to the South Wall Cornerclub and get an Argonian to stop offering unsanctioned training in Restoration.

Discounted Unsanctioned Training

Once you get to the club, Only-He-Stands-There suggests a deal. If you return to Ranis Athrys, and tell her that he's stopped offering training, he'll train you for a slight discount. (Although he promises to offer you discounted training, this is never actually implemented in the game. His training prices are determined by the same formula as any other trainer.) You can either accept this, kill the Argonian, or use bribes and Speechcraft to get his Disposition high enough so that he'll just stop offering training. If you kill him, you are rewarded with four Scrolls of Elemental Burst:Fire and receive an extra five points of disposition with Ranis.

Choose whatever method seems to work for you, and then return to the Mages Guild to speak to Ranis Athrys.

Bugs

• Only-He-Stands-There may not give options after explaining why he is offering the training, therefore the quest seemingly can only be advanced if you kill him.
  • The quest can be advanced by going back to Ranis at a later time and asking her about duties again. She will offer the same quest again and your journal will update.
