Walkthrough
After completing Reluctant Steward, if Mogrul, the loan shark in Raven Rock, is approached, he will state that Drovas Relvi was in debt to him. As Drovas is now Neloth's steward and thus, under Neloth's protection, he is untouchable. Mogrul states that the Dragonborn is responsible for the debt and demands payment. Refuse and Mogrul will keep sending thugs to collect the payment until the quest is completed. The options are to either pay the debt or kill him. If paying, he may also be intimidated into cutting the debt in half. If choosing to kill him, it can be easily accomplished by luring him out of Raven Rock (as he will immediately begin approaching upon arrival) and slaying him out of sight of the guards and townsfolk. He is also immune to Fury.
Trivia
- Drovas can be talked to about the money he owes. When speaking with Mogrul, choose the dialogue option "Please be patient. I'll get you your money." then travel to Tel Mithryn and speak to Drovas. He will say that he doesn't have the money but will hand over 250 septims if he is pressed on the subject. The Dragonborn will have to pay the rest of the debt upon return to Mogrul.
- Killing Mogrul only gains forty septims bounty.
- When Mogrul first approaches, if the conversation is exited instead of selecting dialogue options, the quest does not start. Mogrul will continue to follow, and attempt to initiate conversation again. The Dragonborn can lead Mogrul in this way outside of Raven Rock, allowing him to be killed without alerting the town guards. Mogrul will not follow into a building, or when the Dragonborn uses fast travel.
- If Mogrul is killed, Slitter will immediately become hostile, and attack. Hence, it is recommended that, if attempting to assassinate Mogrul, to kill Slitter first. If Mogrul is killed first, and the Dragonborn successfully becomes 'hidden', Slitter will stop registering as an enemy, but will immediately attack again when he detects the Dragonborn, or if spoken to. The town guards will not become involved if Slitter attacks, but people with whom the Dragonborn has gained favor with will attack Slitter (e.g. Glover Mallory). If Slitter is not killed, his presence prevents waiting or fast travel as "there are enemies nearby". Killing him after killing Mogrul does not result in a bounty.
- If Mogrul is killed purely by stealth then Slitter will not attack the Dragonborn and will continue to interact with the normal dialog i.e "I work for Mogrul..." (tested PS3 using a dragonbone bow and full stealth skill, Mogrul was killed in the Retching Netch.)
