Take this guy out, then interrogate him to know who sent him.

If you've kept asking people around, a thug named Dryston will confront you and have a brawl with you as soon as you leave The Warrens. You can ask the people inside and talk to the innkeeper to get the key to her room. Margret is supposed to be staying in the Silver-Blood Inn.

Once you get there you will talk to someone named Etrys who explains what's going on and sends you out on a detective quest. Go to Shrine of Talos: pretty simple, just follow compass which will lead you to a series of stairs. After you read.eh."your" note, the quest will begin. This will also alter one later part of the quest for the better.Įither way, after the episode you will be approached by a guy named Eltrys, who after a brief conversation will hand you a note that you supposedly "dropped". Margret will speak to you afterwards and thank you by giving you the necklace she had bought and intended to give to someone back in Cyrodiil. The guards actualy WON'T arrest you for assault and murder since you saved some woman's life. or if you decide to be the hero of the day and ignore the guards' warnings (you little rebel) you can counter-assassinate Weylin before he reaches Margret.

After a brief fight, Weylin will be killed and the quest will resume it's normal flow.

The crowd will scream and the guards will engage. If you choose to heed the guards' warning and not get involved, you get a front row seat to Margret's assassination. A man named Weylin will suddenly pull out a dagger and begin crouch-walking up to a woman named Margret who is browsing a nearby store. Sure enough, as soon as you enter Markarth your first "Welcome to Markarth!" gift is witnessing an assassination attempt. Upon approaching the gates of Markarth, the guards will warn you that if you see something suspicious (like say.I don't know.a man attempting to assassinate a woman.hint hint wink wink) to not get involved.
