[edit] Unofficial Reward

I'm pretty sure this doesn't count as an official reward but was intended as an unofficial one - with each of these quests (spies, then the 4 artifacts) Martin surrounds himself with more and more books, some of them skillbooks. Essentially access to these is the unofficial reward for completing the quests. ^{—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Vook (talk • contribs) on 07:20, 11 May 2006 (UTC).}

[edit] Another Way

I found another way to get through this section. I first went to talk to the captain in the castle. I went to the house and broke in (I am the Gray Fox, so that was my default thinking). I found the two named characters inside, they attacked me, I killed them, and stole the keys off of them. I went in the basement, grabbed the scroll, and returned to the temple. I suppose it is faster my way, but I won't include it right now. ^{—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Samadam (talk • contribs) on 01:54, 9 August 2006 (UTC).}

I did it similarly - I ignored the captain entirely, and bribed a beggar into pointing me to Jearl. I then made my way to the secret basement door outside of town and invited myself in. Jearl and Saveri Faram were less than pleased to see me, but their corpses were much more cooperative during the strip search. -- Cronocke 03:50, 28 April 2007 (EDT)

I had a bandit kill the second agent as she loitered around the rune stone. 203.91.84.7 07:14, 4 May 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Take the Note

For some reason, I did not pick up the note in the basement and I could not find the second spy. When I saw the note while searching around, I picked it up, and suddenly Saveri Faram was upstairs. She may not appear until one picks up the note. Or maybe it was just coincidence.^{—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.71.246.168 (talk • contribs) on 01:50, 25 April 2007 (UTC).}

[edit] Default class?

Am I correct in assuming that the note recovered in Jearl's basement shows that the default class for the player is Imperial? In the note, it references an 'Imperial agent', who closed the Kvatch Oblivion Gate. --Merco 06:37, 5 November 2007 (EST)

It may actually refer to the "agent of the Imperials". The player is an agent of the empire, no matter to which race he belongs. That's my view on it. --Mankar Camoran^{•T•C•E•} 08:26, 5 November 2007 (EST)

However, it is true that the default race for the player is Imperial. See Bendu Olo. But this note in Jearl's basement has nothing to do with that. It's possible to make the player's actual name, race, and class appear in books and notes, so there'd be no reason for a note to have "default" information shown. --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 09:10, 5 November 2007 (EST)

It is quite appropriate. Cyrodiil is the homeland of the Imperials, after all. --Mankar Camoran^{•T•C•E•} 08:44, 6 November 2007 (EST)

The orders says that they should find any information on the imperial agent, ie the agent of the empire, they really dunno alot about it, and we must assume that it was written prior to the events in their base which would seem why they state the player as an imperial agent, because they dont know anything about it.

I think it's fairly clear - Imperial Agent means agent of the Emperor and his heirs; the one trying to stop the Mythic Dawn. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 10:39, 11 January 2008 (EST)

[edit] Incorrect subtitles

Is it worth mentioning that Jauffre has incorrect subtitles when giving you this mission? When he asks you to find out waht the spies are planning, it is spelt 'plannning'. --Merco 06:39, 5 November 2007 (EST)

I don't think it's worth mentioning. There are several such instances, and it is too minor to find a place in the article. --Mankar Camoran^{•T•C•E•} 08:19, 5 November 2007 (EST)

[edit] Savari Disappearance

(moved from the article)

- ((I had this problem as well. Savari can be discovered at another rune between Bruma and Cloud ruler Temple.)) ^{—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.102.186.16 (talk • contribs).}
