Assassination contract


Pushkatu

Recommended Posts

So, it all started while I was exploring the land with my companion Lydia. We where near a main road and we spotted a house near by. It was getting late so I thought it would be nice to spend the night near a warm fire, in a soft bed, having a few drinks, you know... AND we did, we spent the night at the house and the next morning when we got out to get some fresh air and move on. When we got out I saw 3 guys(wearing heavy armour, looking tough) heading our way. It's a habbit of mine so hide first and so I did, behind the house. Lydia just stood there as I asked her to wait previously. So I used my special 3rd person view power to see what they are up to. Lydia is my tank and I was very inspired to hide, becouse as soon as they got near her(us, since I was only a couple of feet away) they charged. My bow was ready and my first 2 shots nailed one of them(3x damage+ critical strike, good perks) and I also badly injured a second guy. I then equiped my Axe of Whiterun and charged. I kinda suck at close combat and this guy was better than me, but I maganed to kill him, while Lydia was fighting the other one. After I was done with the second guy, I quickly poisoned my axe than charged the third, helping Lydia as much as I could. She was badly injured to, but our joined forces where to much for him, so we eventually bested him. There was little time to take a better look at them before and when I searched their bodies after the fight, I found this strange note(contract), wich said they where hired thugs, who where supposed to give me a beating, but if they wanted they could also kill me. The person who hired them is named, according to the note "Asta" and it seems, also according to the note, that she thinks I'm a thief and I quote:"Teach that blasted thief Belphegor(my character's name) bla bla...". No problem, but my character is not a thief, so why in god's name would she hire some thugs to kick my arse and who is she? It turns out it's not quest related, since my journal didn't update after this adventure. So again, does someone know WHO SHE IS? I'd like to pay her a visit. :devil:

 

 

 

 

Thanks for reading...

Cheers and beers,

Pushkatu!

She is an old lady that lives in a hut close to riverwood, you usually see her while you look for a way up towards the mountain to reclaim the golden claw from the shopkeeper quest. And if this scene happened to you, then you did steal at least something from her hut, even if she didn't notice it at the time. Edited by amycus

That b****!! All I did was to read that book she has, that increased a skill and she saw when I red it, it's still there, I have not stole it.

Thanks for the reply, I'll pay her a visit and discuss the terms of the contract again, especialy the part where I have to take a beating or be killed.

I'm pretty sure you must have taking something, even if it was just a plant. I could be wrong though, since all characters steal whenever they can...

Personally I thought it was a pretty fun "quest", though they should have tried to decrease the time it takes for those 3 thugs to find you, since it's otherwise easy to forget the name of that old lady.

Yeah, well I hope they have added some dialog options so that she can beg for her life... :devil:

I might have pick some plants near her house, but I can't really rememer for sure.

First: I saw that old witch like b*tch.

Second: I never even went near her, since I had a bad feeling about her.

Third: My conjurer has been attacked by thugs AND the dark brotherhood. (before joining later one)

Fourth: What makes ANYONE think it's a good idea to charge the archmage at the entrance of his very own academy?

Fifth: Attacking someone who fights a dragon AND has 100% sneak + invincibility potions is NOT a good idea!

 

So, what do thos ladys have against me and why are their hired hands so damn dumb? :D Still love this game, after all seeing a dragon eat a assasin send after you is brilliant!

maybe bethseda simply assumed that no one whold be able to keep their dirty fingers in check once they saw the stuff in her hut?

Personally I'm more annoyed with how you meet assassins from the dark brotherhood chasing you, with messages signed from astrid. And yet, she never talks about that once you meet her...
