The Assassinated Man

Overview
"I must go to Chorrol, break into Francois Motierre's house, and then speak with him. Motierre requested we meet this way, so he is expecting me."

- Bendu Olo

This mission is different from the other Dark Brotherhood missions in that you don't kill anyone, but are instead helping a man fake his death. An underworld crime boss wants Francois Motierre dead, so they are sending an enforcer to kill him. Vicente will give you a Langourwine Blade, that will not kill Motierre but will make him appear dead when you stab him. If you kill Hides-His-Heart you will forfeit your bonus.

Walkthrough
Break into the victim's house in Chorrol. Do not kill him, beat him, stab him, or hurt him in any way. He will explain to you what he wants you to do. When the enforcer comes, he will go into a little tyraid, then when he's done stab him, and he will fall to the ground like he is dead. Then run out of Chorrol without killing Hides-His-Heart.

Wait for 24 hours then go to the Chorrol Chapel's Undercroft and revive Motierre with the antidote Vicente gave to you. His dead family members will view this as a desecration and will come to life as zombies and try to send you to your grave. Kill them and take Francois to the Gray Mare.

Return to Cheydinhal to get your payment and another bonus, the Cruelty's Heart.
