Stage 5

I was approached in Sandriver by a Czerka representative. He claims that a smuggler is hiding out in the nearby cantina and holds something of extreme value to Czerka. Sounds shady, should I get involved in this?

How this stage is set:

• Dialogue INFO 16805399153016153 under topic help; speaker Assoll Hil (TatooineAssoll). locations: Tatooine, Sandriver. conditions: Journal SW_AssollQuest Equal 0. response: “Yes, y’see, recently Czerka gotten word of a smuggler operating nearby in town. He’s just arrived in Sandriver - a Duros by the name of Ninulin Villaks - and has been very obvious to us. He’s been trying to offload something he claims to have stolen for a “low price” of five hundred credits. We want it, whatever it is, but can’t move to confront him directly otherwise we might have a bloody shootout. Smugglers are no joke when they are angered. So how about it, want to earn some credits?”.

Tell him you heard about the contraband and you want to buy it. Whatever he offers you, take it and we will reimburse you the full amount and pay you three hundred credits in addition. Simple. I expect good news.”.

Current journal state can be inspected with the OpenMW/Morrowind journal tooling for SW_AssollQuest. Manually forcing journal indices is useful for diagnosis, but does not substitute for testing the scripts/dialogue that normally cause the transition.
