Can't Buy a Kill (TR_m2_Ak_CantKill)
My quest showcase focuses on a wandering Nord who is trying to place a Morag Tong writ. The player will have the opportunity to either inform him that his request is impossible, lie to him and carry out the task for a large cash reward, or let his target know that she is in danger for a small cash reward. Successfully killing the target will lead to no consequences at first, but after a day guards in Sailen and Akamora are alerted to the crime and will charge the player with murder if caught within the next month. Additionally, if the player is a member of the Morag Tong, they will be expelled when next talking to a Morag Tong member.
Details, including a walkthrough for all endings, journal stages, a list of all dialogue (broken down by intended context) and more can be found in this google doc.
As the final file is significantly over the stated target size at 47kb, I am open to removing anything that is considered bloat by the reviewers.
This is my first attempt at making something with the Morrowind construction set and so I'm sure there are a lot of rookie mistakes in the scripting. I'm still really proud of what I put together, even if it's safe to say it took a lot more effort than I was anticipating!
Hope you enjoy!

Hi KnobelKnight, thanks for submitting the showcase and for fixing the issues. The quest looks really great for your first work, you have good writing skills, and in most aspects, you know what you're doing in scripts. This quest would be a nice addition to content-empty Akamora.
Here are some issues which should be fixed:

Some more feedback. These are mostly structural edits to make the quest a bit less complex than it's now. After fixing them, I reckon we'll be done in one or two more iterations.
Also, please read the TR style guide: https://wiki.project-tamriel.com/wiki/Writing_and_Dialogue_Guidelines#Style . Your dialogue doesn't have any stylistic issues, but it's important to know these conventions nevertheless.

Made all of your changes and fixed a couple bugs I found myself.
Reordering the topics/greetings was complex. I tried to test everything to make sure dialogue only popped up when it should but it's possible a few lines got past me. Other than that everything should be good.
