So, as we all know, to join the Dark Brotherhood you must first kill an innocent person. When you do, it says "Your actions have been observed by forces unknown..." or some such, indicating the Dark Brotherhood now is aware of you.

But since the guards always come (at least so far, in my experiences), if you go to jail, will the Dark Brotherhood still approach you? Or do you have to get away for them to take notice?

I'm new here and tried searching for this topic but couldn't come up with anything, so I'm sorry if it's a re-post

Thanks in advance,

ZK

I think that going to prison won't stop the process. Once you get out off prison A member of the Dark Brotherhood will pay you a little visit at night.

The easiest way to get invited to the Dark Brotherhood is by doing a quest you can get from the grand champion of the Arena guild. After you have done this quest you will have to go through the ranks of the Arena guild and beat the grand champion. Because you have done the quest for him his will to live on is a bit on the low side and this will benefit you won't spoil more than that and the best of it is that it's completely legal no guards chasing you afterwards you even earn a lot of gold

I myself joined really early, like right after the kvatch gate. I "accidentilly" shot a man with an arrow i befriended in there after i got impatient for his death (i couldnt help myself from shooting those scamps) since he seemed to have good loot, and well you get off scat free and with an invitation.

I joined, I killed a begger, after I gave him a gold peice... I almost feel bad... I lost a gold peice... j/k

Ahh...thats how you join...killing innocents...DOH...I have been roaming the land searching for them...I have only been to 2 cities though ..

Well, thanks for the info...oh soul, i pity you...poor coin, given away by his master..shame...do give the coin my compliments:D

lol yeah the beggers are pretty common in the Imperial City, just go into some ally and chances are you'll find one. And ps, don't kill to many beggers, they are important if you want to do something else... thats about all i'll say...

I, as an honest member of the thieves guild, didn't want to disrespect the Gray Foxes eyes and ears, so I didn't want to kill a begger. I killed some random girl at a stable.

You can kill someone who is sleeping, use the lock spell on the door so the gaurds cant come in and sleep in the now empty bed. The brotherhood should come to you. I think.

I didn't know the beggers had anything to do with Gray Fox at that time... and I don't think they will hold anything against me... I still have to formally "join" though

The guards always come? If you are unable to murder a simple civilian without being caught, you might not be the material wanted by the Night Mother for the Dark Brotherhood.

Increase your sneak and security, find a decent person to kill. It is best to kill a person who is by themself inside a building and use sneak to get a decent first slash. The diffucult part of this is if you aren't strong enough, the person may bash you to little bloody bits and if he is weak he will run for the guards. I forget exactly who I murdered, but I was not arrested or outlawed in any way.

If you get your sneak up high enough, you can get like a 6x damage mulitplier by striking someone while sneaking, if they don't see you that is.



Actually, as I think about it, a good target would probably be a farm somewhere or a weak beggar. But don't kill a beggar if you are in the Theives Guild, as they are guild members...

That farm thing is a good idea. I was going to kill the people in slave house of some lord guy near a gate. But oops he had no slaves. Just 12 slave houses.

hah, so it appears the colour of night is blood red!

Ive been killing people and whenever I kill them in 1 hit, I dont get seen. Whats up with this?

just go into the open and kill someone, not in sneak, but just out in the open. someone will see you

Oh ok thanks.

But what about gaurds? Il be caught halfway into the crime.

yeah it was a sort of a beat to the punch with me, there was someone awake in the room and it took three hits to kill the person asleep, so guards came but I killed them first. This was after like a billion unsuccessful attempts with other people.

I used the power attack. The guy literally flew off the bed. And I got a 4x attack. But they didnt come. Good thing too, it was a leader of the town could have had impact on mainquest.

You don't need the guards to come, you'll be observed by the brotherhood and they'll visit you when you sleep in a 'secure area.' The sleeping kills in which your target flies off the bed are my favorite

They didnt come though.
