I kind of assumed that this was going on, and I tried to actively
prevent it. So what I would do is if I hadn't seen you for a while
or I'd been hanging around with a certain Maran for a long time I'd
try to come up with some interesting artifact or information for
you to keep you thinking, That Androkin guy, he's more valuable to
me not killed than killed. Recently it was getting kind of tricky
for me though, but let's just say I had something cooked up to
keep me in good graces, *cough* a certain mask might not have been
quite as lost as I made out to be (which I think you had a suspicion.
Part of this was me hedging my bets, since I could never be sure if
Vanzokh was acting on his own or just might have had some approval.
Each time he attacked me though (which was only twice) the chasm
payed a price to the tune of some interesting information and also
some artifacts you guys might have liked. Since I couldn't complain
about him and didn't want to start any fights, I kept it to myself of
course, but let's just say I got some revenge in my own way every now
and then.

Hah! I was only kidding, I was always happy to help you get the
amulet. I always had a good time hunting down artifacts and such.
