predcon Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 After starting "May the Best Thief Win", I started for the Temple District, and jumped on the Marie Elena and then onto the other shore of the IC (obviously my Acrobatics skill level was high enough), all the while invisible via a spell. On the way back, I'd jumped back the same way. After handing in the diary, I headed back for the IC proper, to loot the jewelry store, but the Pirates of the Marie Elena had suddenly become hostile, I suspect because I'd set foot on their ship. Will they calm down on their own if I run away, or should I just kill them now? I might just go with the latter, since I'll be coming back for the captain of the Marie Elena in the associated Dark Brotherhood quest, and killing the crew now would mean less hassle later, and since they're already hostile, it wouldn't be murder now. (P.S.)Only the Redguard Pirate seems to be passive towards me, probably because he was facing away from me when I landed on the ship both times, even though I was invisible.

AurianaValoria1 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 They probably won't calm down, although I can't say for sure. It's OK to go ahead and kill them...they aren't necessary for the DB quest. Of course, you could always let them hit you once, and then the guards will take care of them for you. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielj97 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 For the Dark Brother hood quest that involves the ship, the NPC is inside, so yeah, go ahead and kill them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
predcon Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 I guess since the quest comes from Valtieri and not Ocheeva there's no bonus for completing it any particular way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker879 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 From the UESP walkthrough Notes section:Any pirate you do not kill, will, upon completion of this quest, remain looking for you in the Waterfront District in order to kill you.Doesn't sound like they're destined to survive meeting you ... another 'player home' when you're done.

Daledge Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Your best bet is to lead them towards a guard and let them kill them. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
