Index	Finishes Quest	Journal Entry
5		I have been told by the Telvanni agent, Uryn Malas, to deliver the cryptic note to Nevrile Omayn at the Telvanni Council House in Port Telvannis if I cannot decipher the message myself.
10		I have discovered a dead body on the road near Bal Oyra. On the corpse I found a message written in code, though it was clearly addressed to Joslin Stoinles. Perhaps I should look for her in Bal Oyra, she sounds to be Breton by her name.
11		I have been approached by three Telvanni agents who have recognized me as a member of Great House Telvanni. They claim that the dead Breton man was an agent of the Mages Guild, trafficking Telvanni secrets to Bal Oyra. They suggest that I track down his contact and trick him or her into examining the body, allowing me to dispatch the Mages Guild contact away from prying eyes. This may also draw out other Guild agents, allowing me to finish off the Mages Guild spy ring here.
12		I have been attacked by members of House Telvanni near the body of the slain courier.
13		I have told Joslin Stoinles about the dead body, but she showed no sign of reacting to my news...
14		I have told Joslin Stoinles about the dead body, but she showed no sign of reacting to my news... I don't think I'm going to be able to lure Joslin out of the Black Ogre. The best I can do is kill her here.
20		I have told Joslin Stoinles about the body, but withheld the information concerning the coded message. She became quite agitated at this information and vanished shortly after our conversation ended abruptly. I should go back to the dead messenger's body: perhaps she has gone to examine it.
