I was just wondering how to complete the bloodbath side quest and get the 'nice present' from that guy in the Moonmoth legion fort by Balmora. Anything would be a great help

Step 1. Exhuast Varro's conversation topics
Step 2. STOP READING - THERE ARE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE CONVERSATION AND JOURNAL

Step 3. Go to the Thieves' Guild in Balmora and talk to them about "bad people"
Step 4. STOP READING - READ YOUR JOURNAL

Step 5. Taunt one of the persons you are asked to kill until he/she attacks you. Recommended you don't fight them all at the same time.
Step 6. When you have killed all of them, return to Varro for rewards

Some people really don't know how to read sticky threads that say READ BEFORE POSTING, do they?

There is a spoiler for spoilers : highlight (select) the following text

and you will see the spoiler

. Is it plain enough?
Regarding the quest:<start of spoilers>

Spoiler

To taunt it requires high enough speachcraft. However, there's a spell Frenzy Humanoid. If you cannot cast it yourself, you could make an item. Mine is usually an Expensive Ring enchanted with Frenzy Humanoid 50 pt for 6 sec (or 60x5). There are also some scrolls around as well.
Show up first time with boosted Personality - such that they disposition would be 100 - and talk to anybody whom you wish latter to attack you.
(By the way you could solve Thieves Guild Nerano Manor key quest. I'd advise also to visit Hlalo manor and talk with the servant woman here, then have a talk about it in the Hlaalu HQ nearby. After you knew they would like the murder be punished speak with people around to learn that one of those five - the Smith - is the murderer.)
Now wait while your Personality wears out and come back prepared. Use frenzy on smith, he should just hate already by now. Follow to the hall with those 3 and a barman and repeat the procedure (if you planed to take over the club for your home you should have been spoken with the barman, too). And the last down to rooms there's the thief, i believe you hadn't forgotten him frist time. Now go report to Hlaalu spokeswoman and then to the fort - you could even go by Divine Intervention there and by Almsivi Intervention back.

<There ends the spoilers>.

bloodbath quest

To complete that bloodbath quest, go in Balmora, Council club, and taunt everyone expect barkeeper. Cuz If you'll kill them (if you'll first attack them), you'll have bounty on your head. so just Taunt! And them go back to Fort Moonmoth and you'll get a ring worth 14000, I think.

I hope it helped

Who needs to taunt (I suppose you had read the spoilers above)? And even if one wanted to bother with taunting the Frenzy Humanoid would help greatly.
I'd just warn about too strightforward approach. There are certain sequence in the quest, and i had very bad experience with skipping a step. First, it may be importand in what order one discuss the topics with quest giver. Then, next time i run into trouble when i went back to Balmora (Almsivi Intervention) stright from the fort interior (not leaving first through the door).
(BTW, i'd got a feeling that very few had noticed that the simplest and the fastest way to travel between Balmora and Moonmoth Fort were Interventions)

There are 2 ways to do this quest...

Spoiler

You can taunt 'em, or you can just stab 'em...

The first route - taunt the guy when you go in. Kill him. Then go downstairs, and taunt anyone BUT THE BARMAN. IIRC all 4 'bad people' attack once one does... Then go downstairs again, taunt the final person, kill them and return to Varro. Result: 0 bounty plus Ring and a book that elevates a skill.

Second Route (if you have bad speechcraft) - walk in - kill the first guy. (You can use sneak to avoid anyone noticing, and you getting a bounty). This also applies to the last person at the bottom - so kill her second (using sneak if possible). Then kill the rest of the 'bad people' (try to avoid the barman). If you use sneak you may avoid the bounty and/or all of them piling in. When all 6 'bad people' are dead report back to Varro. Result: 0-7000gp bounty plus ring and possibly the book if you didn't get a bounty...

Hope this helps...

Yeah well, I sorta just killed them. I mean how high does your taunt level have to be to be succesful?

Bloodbath

I found the bloodbath really quite simple. The main thing to keep in mind if you want to go the taunting route, is that with a high speechcraft, it is very easy to taunt, and you only have to give them a couple hundred gold until they attack. Also a helpful side tip to those who do the thieves guild missions....when you kill the guy labeled "savant", be sure to take his key to Nerano manner, as that will be one of the first quests given to you in the thieves guild in Balmora. Oh and finishing the bloodbath raises yer reputation by 1, and scores you MAJOR brownie poitns with the thieves guild.

When i did bloodbath i first joined the thieves guild and then killed everyone in the room without taunting them. Then i quickly ran back to the thieves guild and got the bounty off my head. I used that money in the corner thing though cause i wasn't very rich.(I am Now!)
