Detailed Walkthrough

Quest Offer

Mephala begins talking to the player:

I might have known it would be you. I ought to never answer these summonings. Well, perhaps it is natural for a worm to want to evolve into a wasp. Very well, (player's first name), I will give you power, but you must do something for me first. I need someone to assassinate a certain troublesome minor noble. Can I rely on you for that?

Quest Acceptance

Mephala goes on:

Well, that's something, anyhow. You can find this irksome official (noble's name) in (town), snug and secure in his palace, as he believes. I don't know how you're going to gain entry, but perhaps you will come up with an idea. Perhaps. If you don't manage to kill yourself, go to (town) and I'll arrange for a servant to bring you your new power source, the Ebony Blade. I will ask my servant (worshipper's name) to wait for you for (time limit) days at (building). Do not, please, be late. That is all.

Quest Decline

Mephala responses indifferently:

That is just as well. I have better uses for my time than building a power base for ungrateful, lazy guttersnipes.

Quest Object

The target's palace is open from 10:00am to 18:00pm, like all other palaces. When you pay a visit to your target during this period, no lockpicking is necessary to get in.

When the noble is hit for the first time he shouts:

Who are you and what are you doing in here?
You sneaking assassins are all the same. That's why I decided to get myself some real protection. (giant)! Wake up, you big oaf. Kill!

and will then summon a giant to his/her aid. Once the noble is dead meet Mephala's worshipper in the town she mentioned and get the Ebony Blade.

Quest Object Dead

When the noble dies a message pops up saying:

Mephala would be proud-- (noble's name) is dead. Time to make your escape.

Quest End

Mephala's worshipper speaks to the player:

Good day, (player's first name), I'm (worshipper's name). Mephala told me that you might show up, but she did cast some doubts about the chances of you surviving the encounter with (noble's name). Well, it's a good thing I brought the Blade, then, isn't it? Sorry if you got a bad talking to from Mephala. With (noble's name) dead, she should be in a lot better mood. And for that alone, I thank you.

Enemies

  • 10x One Warrior every two in-game minutes (25% chance) once you enter the palace
