Next of Kin (Oblivion)

Overview
Faction: Dark Brotherhood Quest giver: Written Order Reward: 500 gold

Your objective is to eliminate the entire Draconis family, 5 targets in total. The only information you have to start with on this mission is the location of Perrenia Draconis, the mother of the doomed clan. She is located at Applewatch farm just west of Bruma. You must extract the location of her children and then kill her, the best way to do this is to pretend to be the shooping service she has hired to send gifts to all her kids. The silly old bint will generously give you a list of all the other Draconis family members as well as 100 gold for the errand. Kill her and then move on.

Caelia is a city watch guard in Leyawiin who works the night patrol. Unfortunately she doesnt appear to have any moment of vulnerability you can exploit, she is rarely alone and is always amoured. Any attack in public will of course leave you with a large bounty and not to mention a great deal of strife from the other Leyawiin guards. The best time to take Caelia out is just after she finshes her watch at 7am, she will then go to a private room upstairs in the Three sisters Inn. Here it is at least possile to engage her one on one. A one shot kill here is difficult due to her being fully armoured and so you will likley pick up a small bounty regardless. One way of avoiding the full 1000 gold whammy is to whittle her health down to small sliver and then use a poison attack with a long duration, after you have struck do your best to avoid her until she succumbs. This death should only leave you with the 40 gold bounty you picked up for the initial attack.

The same method in avoiding a huge bounty can be employed when taking out Andreas at the Drunken Dragon Inn. Andreas is the landlord of the inn and does not leave his desk, he even sleeps beneath it from 2 a.m. - 6 a.m. Again this mark has an unfortunate complication in the seemingly permanent guard stationed in the room with you, he never sleeps and will almost certainly see you attack. This time though our Draconis is only wearing cothes and armed only with a dagger so he is somewhat easier to dispatch. Use the above poison method to lessen the chances of incurring the full bounty.

Sibylla lives in Muck Cave with her surrogate family of wild animals. This kill is straightforward and you should approach it like a standard dungeon crawl with a boss. There are no witnesses other than her mangy (and probably dead) crew so you don't have to worry about any nasty bounty this time.

The final family member can be found in the Talos Plaza district of Imperial City. Matthias Draconis is asleep upstairs in his house from 12 a.m. - 5 a.m. Pick the lock to his door and spill his blood.

Pick up your reward and new orders at the next dead drop in Skingrad Castle courtyard.
