Even though it's complete crap, one of the reasons I think they have this scripted the way they do is because you would NEVER have a chance against Mercer because he was a Nightengale and had the Skeleton Key. That's why she drags you and Brynolf to the hall and makes you guys Nightengale's so that you can meet Mercer on even footing.

Yes, I mean, I was wearing full Ebony when I went there and could have easily beat him like the red headed step-child of a rented mule but according to the game, only another Nigtengale would have a chance in Hell of killing him.
