What are those ways?
  • 1 of 4: One way is to either get his disposition to 60 or have a Speechcraft skill of at least 50. If you meet one of these requirements when you talk to him about "overdue payments," you'll get an option to offer a sympathetic ear and friendly advice.
  • 2 of 4: If you don't meet those requirements but do have a copy of the book called "Saryoni's Sermons" in your inventory, you'll get the option to read him a quote from the book. (Note that a copy is sitting on a table near him, and he doesn't mind if you take it.)
  • 3 of 4: Or if you have at least one bottle of flin, greef, or Cyrodiilic brandy, you can offer him a drink.
  • 4 of 4: No matter which of those three ways you use, he'll see what a screw-up he's become and will hand over the items.
