A Contract Killing

A noblewoman named Areana hires you in the Three Old Kegs to kill her blackmailer, Cyrdemac, in the Elfsong Tavern. When the quest is completed, she will give you 500 gold.  However, you can also choose to blackmail her yourself, earning 500 gp every two days, though you will lose one Reputation point each time (which is strange, given the secretive nature of blackmailing).  If more than ten days pass without collecting, she brings in Tor Lobo to attack the party.
