Quest start
Lucien begins: "I need you to prepare, we'll be raiding the sewers of Mournhold, and I do not know how many of them will be down there. Doufliz, any ideas?"

Doufliz: "None, unfortunately. Other than basic things like means to cure paralysis and poisons since assassins enjoy those a bit much, and a way to restore health and stamina for combat, really nothin'. Building on what you've said, give them some time to get to Mournhold, and who knows how many will be there; prepare for a slog..."

Lucien: "Thank you. Dark Brothers, take your time to prepare; I will find you when we are ready."

Lucien returns and the shack attack
The party need to level up once for Lucien to send for them. After levelling up, when the party next is in a city, ''Lucien will round the corner as they are walking. He says "Are you ready? Follow me."''

Upon returning to the shack alongside Lucien, it is being attacked by 7 Dark Brotherhood Assassins. They are levelled to the players with their health being:

$$HP = 100 + 4 \times (Highest\ player\ character\ level)$$

During combat, one will say: ''"Ah, so this IS the right place; I was beginning to think we were lost... You know, that Morag Tong agent you were sent to kill was no more than a summoned Daedra. Summoned to kill the S'wit in the mansion...

Finishing the quest
Once the agents have died, Lucien rushes into the hut with the party. ''Doufliz is sleeping and Sereyne is reading a book, both unbothered. There is a purple glow rounding the cabin. Sereyne says: "Oh, hi." Lucien nods to Sereyne and addresses the party "Sereyne should be fine there with Doufliz; we now are going to our good friend. Off to Mournhold, city of love and charity, soon to be the city of blood and death, watched over by Sithis.''

The party now has completed this quest and has now moved onto quest Hunt the Dark Brotherhood.
