Morrowind experiences vol. 2

Okay, that's not a Morag Tong quest at all, but instead it's Mephala's quest (who happens to be the Morag Tong's deity). The guy you want to kill is right by Caius Cossade's house, next to the guard tower (I'm pretty sure it's the only guard tower on that side of the river). There are two stories to the house, and the guy you want to kill is on the second story. Do not go in through the front door, or your victim will spot you and you'll have failed the quest. You need to enter the guy's house through a trap door on the roof of the building, you ought to be able to jump onto the roof from the guard tower. Click on the pot cooking on the fire, I forget if you have to specifically put the herbs in the pot or if clicking on the pot automatically does it for you. Then leave the same way you came in (through the trap door), and go back to the Morag Tong headquarter to talk to Mephala.

your memory finally fails

there is no fire and no place for a fire and no crockpot

(does the quest mess up if you become a Mong Tonger before completing it? I only went back so far and I might need to go back farther)

I completed the quest before I finished my Morag Tong initiation, but other daedric quests are independent of faction quests (so I doubt that being a full-blown Morag Tong member would be a problem). Are you sure there's no crock pot? The quest may have been changed in one of the patches (I completed the quest before patching my game), but I doubt it... You may still be at the wrong house, if you never received the "you have been spotted by your victim and the quest has failed" warning before.

I am pretty sure I am in the right house (not completely sure since I am not playing the game at this moment, but 98% sure)

it is right by the tower and the corner of town, it has the right name and has the trap door and the standard door

On the same side of the river as Caius's house? Hmm. You've searched the entire upper floor and there isn't a couldron or anything resembling a cauldron there?

[Jon Miller]

no

there are some bowls

and a table (with one of the tankards knocked over)

when I drop into the room I drop into the middle of it, there is only one screen between the bed and a storage area

Jon Miller

[loinburger]

Okay, I just double-checked the house, and the cauldron is not suspended over a fire after all--it's up against the wall (the same wall as contains the door outside), between a chair and a wicker basket.

[Jon Miller]

ah

I will try it, thanks

BTW

Loinburger is being so helpful I feel I need to be helpful

here is a helpful hint

do not sell stuff you stole from a shopkeeper back to that particular shopkeeper

Jon Miller

[loinburger]

No, they don't like that at all.

Also, be careful when doing assassinations for the Morag Tong while carrying stolen goods. When you present a Writ to a guard he will remove all of your stolen goods from inventory (as he would if you'd been caught for stealing). There's a plugin to fix this (I forget where I found it, but it's one of the third-party plugin sites that's listed on the Morrowind page).

[loinburger]

BTW, how do you take screen shots?

[Jon Miller]

when I kill people

I just get charged 40 dollars, so it is no big deal if I do not present a writ

also, I never get caught stealing

Jon Miller

[Jon Miller]

I have no clue how to take screen shots

Jon Miller

[loinburger]

The same thing happens to me when I pay forty bucks: my stolen items are removed from my person. I've gotta drop all of my stolen items before I talk to a guard. (I usually just pay off my bounty at the Thieve's Guild, since they don't mind if I'm carrying a few stolen goods on me.)

[Jon Miller]

I have never stole anything (but the one thing) as far as the gaurds are concerned

abeing that (except for the once) I have never gotten caught

Jon Miller

[Jon Miller]

I must admit that while I am big inthe theives huild and in other areas where I ssteal

my character is not a theif, it is merely just a means to an end (he is actng for the guild, not using the guild to help him steal more)
