Oh dear...
I was just going to go tell Ri'Saad I had dealt with his little problem, when the problem showed up again and in the fight someone must have switched sides (quite possibly me *oops*) because Lydia tried to kill Ri'Saad and I think she killed one of his followers...
*reload*
OK, uh... some miners and guards still died but at least it wasn't me or Lydia who killed them. Then I got my payment (Scrooge!
) and the other half of the problem turned back up...
Some more deaths ensued but I think all the khajiit are safe.
Death toll, one male miner, three female miners and farmers, one goat and one dog...
Oh, and two guards. And I think we have a newly orphaned kid.
That's more than the six bandits.... maybe I should have reloaded again
