Index	Finishes Quest	Journal Entry
10		Astien Lothaire has left a frost atronach in the harbor. Arquebald presumably wants me to take care of the latter.
15		The frost atronach was dealt with. I should report my success to Arquebald Vene.
20		Arquebald Vene told me to take some time off and rest before coming back for more duties.
30		A day has passed. Maybe Arquebald Vene will give me new duties now.
40		Arquebald Vene thinks I'm sick. He has ordered me to take a hot bath. Perevaine Narragu can heat me up some water by magical means apparently.
50		Perevaine Narragu gave me a bath. Sort of. I should tell Arquebald Vene I did what he requested of me.
55		Arquebald Vene still thinks I'm sick. He has sent me to Narusya, one of the alchemists in Old Ebonheart. I hope she is a little better at what she does than Perevaine Narragu.
60		Narusya had it in her mind to make me snort fire salts; it seemed to have something to do with her low opinion of the Guild. I wonder if Arquebald will be satisfied this time.
65		Arquebald Vene now wants me to wear a robe to cure my supposed disease.
70		A day has passed since I put on the robe. I don't seem to feel any better or worse.
75	Finishes quest	Arquebald Vene seemed surprised when I told him he had been trying to cure me of a nonexistent disease for the past few days. He also seemed clearer-headed. Perhaps the two are related?
