That's that. I pick up whatever I could carry and make my way back to Windhelm where I trail the secondary target through the alleys till she's alone.
Terminated.
Stripped off her stuff and ran off as a patrol walks by. Chalk it up to the serial killer, policeman!
The mission is a success. But fee collection is going to be a bitch... I board a carriage to Markath, dreading the trip every minute of it.
Are they still looking for me?
Yep. ... OK. Fuck it. I surrender. There's no way I can collect payment from the client while killing all of you.
You'll see.
They took away all my gear and gold.
I don't think they intend to let me go. And the Forsworn is somewhere in this dungeon.
First thing first, weapons. Pick ax will do for now.
I chat up the seated prisoner, asking him about Madanach.
That must be the orc standing by the locked gate.
Guy wants a tribute. I could brawl him for it. But I doubt I'll win. I'll just end up getting raped. We don't want that, do we?
So we'll play along.
I feel like I'm being sent on random errants. The prison isn't big at least.
Thankfully the skooma guy was taken in by my persuasiveness.
One shiv traded.
Smarter? You sure about that?
Let's see what this guy is all about.
I entered his quarters.
Wow, I wonder whose fault it is?
Freedom. I want to get out of here.
Oh, I wouldn't worry about that. I think they'll clear my name if I just cover it all up with another, more precious blood...
...yours.
The attack caught him off guard, slicing a vein on his neck. The Bound sword is not a mere 'magical sword.' It is Daedric spirit made manifest.
Should've kept your bodyguards close by, Maddie...who'd thought you'd be in the same room with a Dark Brotherhood Assassin? Now, no one can hear you die like a pathetic worm you are...
Now, how do I get out of here...
Thanks, Maddie. That's very thoughtful of you.
I better move before the rest of his lackeys get a clue.
Spider lair. And me without a single potion or a bow.
Close call. If I'm poisoned I might be done for.
It looks like I'm in some kind of a Dwemer ruin.
Potions..
A bow with no arrow.
This door, I hope it leads outside...
Yes!.. wait, huh? Thonar? You set this up?
He handed me back my equipment and a token sum of appreciation.
You're welcome.
I stripped him off and ditched his body into the nearby drain. Fuck him and this city.
I've had enough.
I just want to get paid.
Muiri looks quite happy with the result and rewards me with the coins she promised and a little something extra for killing the secondary target.
"So what'll you do now, Muiri?"
"I don't know..."
"How about following me? I could use the extra hand on the road."
She looks hesitant at first.. but eventually nodded. There's nothing left for her in the city.
I hand over a bow to her and some armor.
Let's go.
I wish I'm a gurl. Hu hu.
