Reach index 10: Danae Shony is dead, I should return to Gill Bates.

QA console reference

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