The Numbers Job

The Numbers Job are quests given to you by Delvin Mallory in the Ragged Flagon as extra work for the Thieves Guild. The purpose of a numbers job is to change information in business ledgers at various store and inns around Skyrim. The Numbers Job is one of the Radiant Story quests available in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and thus, is randomised in the locations that the character is sent to.

Bugs

 * Sometimes Delvin will give you a mission for a ledger that you cannot access. For instance, if Haelga's Bunkhouse's ledger in Riften is the intended target, you are pointed toward a crate with which you cannot interact with nor can you interact with the ledger in the building. To get around this, either quit the quest and request a new one from Delvin (reloading from a save before you accepted the mission is presumably the safest) or, on the PC, use the console command "setstage tgrfo 50" to complete the objective.
 * Completing the 'Repairing The Phial' quest while doing the Numbers Job for The White Phial shop will cause you to fail the Numbers Job, due to the shopkeeper dying as part of the quest, causing Delvin to say you killed the mark when you go to turn in the Numbers Job.
