So, I was doing the In My Time Of Need quest in Skyrim:
The barmaid at the Bannered Mare in Whiterun is apparently a fugitive noble from Hammerfell. She claims that she is on the run from assassins sent by rival houses in her homeland and needs someone to stop them before they find her.
I weighed the options of giving up where the barmaid, Saadia was hiding and saving her. I chose to save her, which led me to having to speak with a prisoner of the Alik'r assassin clan. So I go to the dungeon in Whiterun, thinking that I would have to break this guy out. I locate him and pick-pocket a key off of one of the guards. But before I decide to open this guy's cell, I try speaking to him through the gate. Success! The prisoner tells me that he will reveal where the leader of his clan is in exchange for me paying his $100 fine. I figure it's less of a hassle than breaking him out so I pay the fine. I tell him he's free and he tells me where Kematu (his clan's leader) is. So as I'm walking away, I hear the prisoner call the guard over to explain that I had paid his fine. The guard reluctantly acknowledges but then tells him that he can't free him because he can't find his key.
I just kept walking.
UPDATE: The guard must have figured it out because three hired thugs were sent to teach me a lesson. And I found a note on one of them.
