15		Seemingly too agitated to brief me, Vermilius Vendicci told me to speak with Vals Varano about some private letters.
20		Vals Varano told me to recover some private letters belonging to Vermilius Vendicci. They are currently in the possession of Dervara Diron who is supposedly threatening to blackmail Vendicci. Diron's house is in south Andothren and has a red lantern by its door.
50		I found the three private letters.
75		I gave the scandalous private letters back to Vermilius Vendicci. Though he was somewhat relieved to have them back, he still seemed to have doubts regarding Dervara Diron. He said I should speak with Vals Varano to get my reward.
100		Vals Varano paid me 3000 gold. He noted, however, that Dervara Diron might not be safe and that it would be best if someone warned her of the danger.
200	Finishes quest	I reported back to Shei.
250	Finishes quest	I reported back to Shei. She commended me on providing shelter for Dervara Diron. Since Dervara has connections to people of high profile, she will be able to make bounties go away.
