Ugh. I'm still mad at Martin. I'm going to get another mission from the Dark Brotherhood so I can take out my rage on some possibly innocent victims.
I can't answer that question on account of the fact
I have no idea what you're talking about!
...This mission seems to be combining two of my very favorite things. Partying and murdering.
I LOVE THIS QUEST ALREADY!
GO ON
Well, okay, that seems to always be the ca-
... Wait, if I'm going to kill
all the other guests, why do I even need to bother using stealth? It's not like there will be any witnesses!
This sounds like that board game 1313 Dead End Drive
This really sounds like 1313 Dead End Drive.
This no longer sounds like 1313 Dead End Drive.
I have no idea what this sounds like now. Oh, wait, yes I do. It sounds like FUN.
I head over to Skingrad. Since I'm here, I may as well see that one guy about Nirnroot.
Yes, you'd BETTER start making it right away! I'm tired of going on these scavenger hunts for everyone!
...FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
I HATE YOU SO MUCH
No, I will NOT come back in 24 hours, I will come back when it daisies WELL PLEASES ME!
GOOD DAY TO YOU SIR!
Anyway, I head back into the streets of Skingrad and am approached by a shifty looking man in a powdered wig.
Honestly, with instructions as vague and sinister sounding as that, I'm surprised anyone actually fell for this.
What.
...Are you implying that you are my brother? I am a Dark Elf. You appear to be an Imperial.
DO I NEED TO EXPLAIN THE REST?
This sounds like so much fun! I can't wait!
So, this is the place, eh? Looks interesting.
Oh my god, an old lady! I haven't seen one of these since... the last time I saw an old lady!
...Look, I had a really hard time coming up with something for this screenshot, okay?
I haven't even seen the other guests yet, but I can already tell that they are a band of misfits. What hilarious misadventures we shall have! It'll be like a sitcom!
If you consider murdering people hilarious.
I do.
Anyway, I quickly get her disposition up, and decide to ask her about "Dovesi Dran".
...You
do realize you are talking to a Dark Elf, right? Well, at least you're honest, I suppose.
It's not like her opinions matter anymore, anyway.
Well, now that I'm done killing that old woman, I decide to head upstairs and talk to another guest.
Somehow the news of the murder managed to spread faster than me walking up the stairs.
Huh.
No, actually, they belonged to a criminal organization and were hired to kill everyone here.
...Err, I mean, that's my theory.
(Phew, I think he was almost on to me)
Anyway, despite being panicked only a moment ago, he quickly cheers up as soon as I ask him about himself. What a stuck-up asshole.
Apparently, he isn't the only one nervous that someone was killed.
...I wonder why none of them think it is suspicious that she was killed almost immediately after I entered.
Well, come on, I don't think I would go so far as
evil. I bet the murderer is a pretty nice guy once you get to know him!
Looks like Naughty Nels think the murderer is Primo, the guy I just talked to.
...Man, raising people's disposition is disturbingly easy considering how much they trust you afterwards.
Well, at least
this guy (who used to be an Imperial Legion soldier) suspects that the killer is me.
...Wait, no, that's a bad thing!
...That sounds vaguely sexual.
Unlike Nels, this guy doesn't seem to think that Primo is the killer.
But he does suspect Nels. Interesting.
I wander around for a short while and then head upstairs.
Oh, come on, this is just too easy!
Hey, maybe people will just think he's sitting down and no one will notice that he's dead!
Pfff, like you could take the murderer. He's probably the manliest man in the world, and is so strong that he could kill you with one finger. He's also probably at least three times better looking than you.
...At least, so I've been told.
Well, if he is so tough, maybe he shouldn't have just gone to sleep when he knew that there was a murderer loose!
I decide to ask him about the Dark Elf girl.
...That is somehow both terrible and nice at the same time.
...I'm not quite sure how to respond to this.
Oh my god what the hell is that thing
THIS is the girl everyone's been talking about!? Apparently, the more misshapen your head is, the cuter people think you are.
She seems like kind of a booty. Drovesi, not the dead lady, although she is also a booty.
She apparently also thinks Nels is the killer. I'd say two people think it is Nels, now, but then I remembered I already killed the other guy who suspected Nels.
...I think the writer for this game was drunk or something when he wrote this particular line. I have no idea what this is supposed to mean. Maybe some other lines around it were changed, and it made sense before, but it just doesn't make sense to me now.
Anyway, it doesn't matter how much sense she makes now.
Hmmm... If I play my cards right, I may be able to turn the last two guests against each other. I mean, I could easily take them out myself, but this way would be more amusing.
That almost makes me feel bad for killing her.
Almost.
...Wait, no, I meant to say I bet that almost makes
the killer feel bad for killing her.
(phew, nice save there)
Looks like I managed to turn Nels against Primo! Now for the other way around...
Apparently this guy is really rustled about one of the guests being killed. I'm not quite sure who he is talking about, but it can't be Drovesi, since she sure as hell isn't "beautiful" or "precious".
Oh boy, I can't wait to watch the show!
THIS IS GONNA BE GOOD
Nels kills Primo with a single blow! Wow, what a fight!
Oh, well, actually, I still have
one small bit of unfinished business to attend to...
Oh, would you look at that. Looks like Nels has accidentally "fallen" down the stairs while entering the basement. What a shame.
Well, that was fun, but I'd better get back to Cheydinhal now.
...What is "agent of grief" supposed to mean? Do I cry so hard that people die or something? I'd imagine someone like that would be pretty powerful, since, you know, every time they killed someone they would have more grief and cry harder, thus killing more people which would make them more powerful and so on and so forth.
Anyway, my bonus is a 2+ bonus to my sneak, blade, and marksman skills. Although blade and marksman are all but useless to me, that sneak bonus may come in handy, I suppose.
