Where exactly are you supposed to shoot the Moss Arrows?  I've shot them 
directly into the green symbols and at the bottom of the wall where the 
green symbols are (cornerstones). But it doesn't show under "recent faction 
changes".

When I shoot a Rust Mite for the Hammers, it registers. But I must have shot 
about 6 of those Pagan symbols and have yet to see my status change with 
them. The only thing that did change was when I was running from a City 
Watch and ran into Pagan territory. As soon as I crossed the border, it said 
"Faction Status Changed."  When I was at a place that I could breathe, I 
checked and it said that I had stolen an item from Pagan Terrirory.  I never 
stole anything, I just crossed the border.

Anyway, where exactly am I supposed to shoot the Moss Arrows if not directly 
at the pagan symbols?

  Only on the greenish corner stones.  Nowhere else.

  So you're shooting at the wrong targets.

  The stones can be found at various places in the city, not
necessarily close to the green wall signs.  They can be tricky
to see, but if you look closely you will see that they do not
look like any other corner stones.

  And they are just that: 'corner stones' -- you won't find them
in the middle of a street -- only at corners.

  They're not bright green -- more a sort of darkish green. You won't
be certain until you're fairly close (or have your screen gamma set too
high). You may run into them if you're sneaking around corners -- some
of them seem to stick out a bit, and stop you.

  If I remember (it's been a long time since I played TDS), there
is one in the wharf section, at the entrance of the passage leading
to the pagan area.

I found it way easier to get aligned with the Hammers. They'll even take  
care of the assassins for you if you lure them into their direction,  
towards their church. Wouldn't want to be struck with those sledge  
hammers...
