I can't talk to you about this until you make amends.

You already hired a wizard. When his contract expires, maybe I'll need your help again.

Yes, our new guard has already arrived. Good work, %PCName. I was using this ring to help defend the place, but I don't need it anymore.

Never mind. I understand that the person in charge of hiring out wizards is dead. That was Arielle Phiencel. A shame. You don't know anything about her death, do you? Anyway, there are other jobs for you to do.

Go to the Mages Guild over at Wolverine Hall and see if you can hire a wizard to protect our guildhouse here from the Camonna Tong thugs.

I don't care what happened to him, all transactions are final, and I'm not sending you another guard. Battlemages don't grow on trees, you know.

Yes, I have sent you a guard.

Yes, these are all fine samples. I will send one of our fine Battlemages, Natalinus Flavonius, over to Dirty Muriel's.

No ebony, no guard for your guildhall.

So do you have the ebony?

Yes, I could arrange for a wizard to guard your precious guildhall. But first you must bring me four pieces of raw ebony for an experiment. If you bring me the ebony, I will send you a guard.

Who, me? I'm no guard.

Yes, you hired me to guard this room.
