Thank you again for recovering our embezzled funds.

Thank you for recovering our embezzled funds. And here are the 1000 drakes I pledged to support an Imperial cult mission to the Ashlanders.

If you recover the embezzled funds from the absconded clerk, Mossanon, I'll be happy to redeem my pledge.

Please accept my apologies. I wish things were otherwise.

That is a most welcome offer. Our clerk, an Altmer named Mossanon, absconded with 3000 drakes. We have no idea where he went. To avoid scandal, we have not reported the crime to the guards. If you can track this Mossanon down and recover the missing 3000 drakes, I would be more than happy to immediately redeem my 1000-drake pledge to the Imperial cult.

You are from the Imperial cult, then? I'll be frank with you, but you must keep this in confidence. I cannot redeem my pledge at this time. Our clerk embezzled funds, and to avoid scandal, I am covering losses to the East Empire Company out of my own fortune.

When I spoke with him some time ago, Canctunian Ponius promised us a donation of 1000 drakes for a mission to the Ashlanders. Canctunian Ponius is an important and prominent member of our community, and his word is widely respected. That is why it is strange that he has not been forthcoming with his pledge.
