Detailed Walkthrough

Get the Contract

The assassination of Beitild is part of the first batch of contracts handed to you by Nazir. After giving you the contract, he will readily tell you a bit about her background: "She separated from her husband several months ago. Now the two run competing mining operations. Beitild's angry and desperate. A fighter."

Kill Beitild

In the town of Dawnstar it is common knowledge that Beitild and her husband Leigelf are feuding, most evident by overhearing Leigelf arguing with the puzzled Lond in front of Quicksilver Mine and by talking to the participants themselves. Beitild now runs Iron-Breaker Mine, keeps a close eye on her workers at all times, and never misses the opportunity to bad-mouth the "fat-head owner" of the competing Quicksilver Mine.

When you approach Beitild, you will be given three dialogue options, you can only pick one of them and will not be able to choose another one by trying to talk to her again.

Topic	Dialogue	Response
(Remain silent)	"I've a mine to run, so if you'll excuse me..."	Beitild walks away
"I represent the Dark Brotherhood. Your death is at hand!"	"What? Well, we'll see about that now, won't we?"	Draws pickaxe and attacks
"Someone wants you dead, Beitild."	"And let me guess, that someone is my so-called husband Leigelf? Well the feeling's mutual."	Ends conversation

An alternative is to use stealth and kill Beitild in her sleep. She will return to her house at midnight and rest there until 8am. The lock on her front door can be picked or unlocked using the key she carries about her person.

When Beitild is disposed of, you can pay a visit to her husband for an emotionless reaction: "My wife Beitild is dead. Can't say I miss that old sabre cat."

Reward

Return to Nazir in the sanctuary for a leveled gold reward. When you tell him Beitild is dead he will respond "Of course she is. I hear the mining business is extremely cutthroat. And those hours... they're murder."

Levels	Reward
1–9	250
10–19	400
20–29	500
30–39	600
40+	750

Notes

• While this quest is active, it is impossible to sell ore to the Beitild, as only the three dialogue options mentioned above are available.
• It's quite possible for Beitild to have already died by the time you would normally get this contract quest. If this is the case, then the contract will just be skipped entirely.
• If Silus Vesuius is on his porch and you kill Beitild while outside, Silus will become hostile even if you remained undetected.

Notes

• Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Quest system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
• If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
• On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage DBSideContract03 stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages, but it is possible to clear all stages of the quest using resetquest DBSideContract03.
