In my time of need... : V

So I have two quests that seem to be unresponsive.

1) In My Time of Need: I decided to talk to the guy in jail and paid one of the guards to release him. They took my gold and the guy is still locked in his cell. The option to release him is no longer available from the guards and I can't seem to move forward on the quest. Any suggestions?

2) Found an unusual gem and i am told to bring it to an appraiser. Quest targets Maul in Riften as the guy to talk to. Only speech option for him is about the Black Briars. Any clue on how I get him talking?

After paying off the Alik'r Prisoner's bounty, he may not be not released, and the option for paying the fine is no longer available.

In that side quest you can choose:

1)

Spoiler

If you decide to help Saadia, go into the dungeon of Dragonsreach and speak with an Alik'r Warrior that was captured. After paying 100 gold to a guard, the prisoner will tell you that the leader of the Alik'r is in a cave west of Whiterun called Swindler's Den. But you can go directly to Swindler's Den without attempting to speak with the prisoner.

So load a previous save and if paying the bounty not work's to you again, just try to go to Swindler's Den.

or

2)

Spoiler

If you decide to help the Alik'r capture Saadia, Kematu or the Redguards you spoke to in Rorikstead will ask you to lure her to the stables outside of Whiterun. Go back and talk to Saadia in The Bannered Mare and ask her to follow you. Once she gets to the stables, Kematu will use a paralyzing spell on her. Talk to him for your reward.

----------------------

The dialogue to have Maul appraise a Stone may not show up, leaving the player having to find a different appraiser.

Spoiler

Instead you could go to Vex in the Thieves Guild.

Might be because you need to join the thieves guild first.
