Never mind. I had saved the game right after killing the guy in Gnaar mok and right after posting this I went back and tried again and this time the plan worked like a charm. I ran to Caldera, got in the mages guild building before a guard caught me, fast traveled to balmora, got into the club before a guard caught me, killed all the bad people, ran to pelagiad, and she cleared my bounty. i tried about 4 times before posting this and kept failing, then went back and tried once more and made it. Go figure..
How the hell do you complete some of these quests where you're supposed to kill someone and to do so you must commit a crime?
I know one can taunt a person into attacking you, but not when your speechcraft skill is at 15. I mean I can't recall how I did it last time, but this time I figured with the Boots of Speed I'd just out run the guards until I got back to Ahnassi (or whatever her name is that wanted me to kill the guy in Gnaar Mok. IIRC, if you get back to her, she clears your name but you can't outrun the guards. THey're as fast as me despite not having boots of speed (which seems just wrong to me).
Then there is the quest where I am supposed to kill "bad people" in Balmora for the guy at fort Moonmoth trying to clean up corruption. Again, no luck getting them to attack me, so it's kill them and commit a crime or no competing the quest.
I could've sworn I completed it last time but maybe not I dunno. This is irritating as hell. Guards that can run as fast as you can magically enhanced. Bullshit.
And another irriating thing LOL. I'm typing on this laptop and every time my hand or finger just touches the touchpad my cursor jumps somewhere else so that my typing moves all over the place. Is there any way to PERMANENTLY get rid of that damn thing? i never use it, I always use a mouse, and usually use a real keyboard, but not when I'm mobile.
Anyway, I had a good plan. Kill the dude in Gnaar mok (actually ending up killing four because there were four in the room and they all became hostile once i attacked the guy i was supposed to kill), then I would run to Balmora, kill all those bad people in the club, and then run to Pelagiad and report to whatever that kajiit's name is and she would clear my crimes. Nope. Once a guard starts running after you, you can't lose him. DAMMIT>
