I'm at my wits end with this quest. It is the one where you are sent by Frald to kill the ordinator who is slandering the legion. I've done this quest countless times on a number of playthroughs, but I've never seen this particular issue before. I'm high rank in both the legion and the temple, so that may have something to do with it. The problem is that even after I taunt the guy into attacking me and let him hit me first or a dozen times, every time I strike back, I'm immediately expelled from the temple and my crime is treated as assault and eventually murder. I'm not sure what voodoo I need to do to make this work properly.
