Index	Finishes Quest	Journal Entry
10		Anbod has tasked Cael and I with finding more information on Dalach and his gang. Anbod suggested speaking with Cael about the person who tried to recruit him into Dalach's gang.
20		Cael was having trouble remembering the recruiter, so he asked me to travel together with him to the place he met them, in the alley behind the House of Mara.
25		I have brought Cael to the alley behind the House of Mara.
30		Cael remembered that the man who wanted to recruit him had a strange accent, one that would be easy to identify. He suggested we ask the informants I recruited whether anyone with such an accent had approached them.
40		One of our new informants told me that they had knew of a man with a strange accent approaching Dragonstar's destitute about joining a gang. The informant had declined his offer, but believed he was staying in the Nukra-Tikil Tavern in Dragonstar West.
50		I told Cael that the recruiter with the strange accent was likely at the Nukra-Tikil Tavern in Dragonstar West. He suggested we travel together to the Nukra-Tikil Tavern.
55		I have brought Cael to the Nukra-Tikil Tavern.
56		Cael wished the remain outside, lest he be recognized, but suggested I ask the bartender there about the recruiter.
60		The bartender at the Nukra-Tikil Tavern told me that the strangely-accented man's name was Guthring, and that he was staying at the tavern. In fact, he is drinking downstairs right now. Cael will want to know about this.
70		Cael will wait outside, for now, and while I am distracting Guthring he will sneak into Guthring's room. Cael will meet me back here, outside the tavern, when he is finished.
75		Guthring has been killed.
80		I distracted Guthring. If everything went well, Cael will be waiting for me outside.
90		Cael found a journal in Guthring's room at the inn. The journal mentioned Dalach having a spy in the Castle in Dragonstar East, and in the Crown Palace in Dragonstar West. Cael suggested returning to Anbod with the journal to plan our next move.
95		Cael and I have arrived at Shadowkey Tavern.
100	Finishes quest	Anbod was pleased with our work. He needed time to read through the journal and plan our next move. He asked me to come back after a moment.
110	Finishes quest	Anbod was incredulous that Cael had been killed. He told me that he had no more jobs for me.
