6. Slay the Bosmer for your reward

[edit] Walkthrough

Speak with Gaenor in the Temple District about the small favor he wishes to ask of you. He tells you a story of how he is down on his luck and wants you to give him 50 gold. Give him the 50 and he'll now ask for 100. 100 leads to 1000, to 10000, to one million. If you attempt to give the gold and you don't have enough he will get very upset and refuse to speak to you further. If you refuse to give him the gold it will take some convincing to make him realize that you won't give him anything, and again he'll refuse to speak with you. Similarly, if you do actually offer to give him the one million he eventually asks for, he'll refuse to speak with you, saying that no one could possibly have that much cash.

After you speak with him, Gaenor will leave for two days and return wearing a complete set of Ebony Armor and Gaenor's Amulet. He will then attack you on sight. He is one of the toughest opponents in the game due to his armor and abilities, including his very high Reflect and Resist Magicka, constant health regeneration, high skills, Strength, and incredibly high Luck.

[edit] Notes

• If you try to kill him before he has a chance to leave, he's an interesting fight. He fights with hand-to-hand and does almost no damage, but Gaenor is still very difficult to hit and reflects a lot of magic cast at him. If you wanted to practice block and your armor skills, just attack him and watch the fun for a while. He may teleport before you can kill him.
• If you don't have the money, he will ask first for an Ebony short sword. If you provide him with one he will then ask for a complete set of Daedric armor. Offering him this, even if you have it, will produce similar results to offering 1,000,000 gold - he'll refuse to believe you have it and walk off in a huff.
• Anything you give him is pretty much gone for good - even after he attacks you and you kill him, you won't be able to get back anything you gave him. Thus it's probably best to just avoid giving him anything at all - the results are exactly the same either way, so giving him anything is just a waste.
• The BiPolar Blade, attainable in The MatchMaker quest, is a useful tool against Gaenor. When struck, he stops attacking you and merely walks about. Continuing to attack him at this point, however, with the BiPolar Blade or any other weapon, will count as assault and killing him will count as murder.

10		I have spoken to Gaenor, a poor-looking Wood Elf who made some rather ridiculous demands of me. He eventually got angry and threatened me. Now he will no longer speak to me. Quite an odd encounter...
20		I attacked Gaenor, and he vanished before my eyes. Perhaps he teleported somewhere.
30		I have again run into Gaenor, whose good luck has done wonders for him. He remembers me, though, and doesn't like me.
40		I have killed Gaenor.
