Strife:Traitor (Dark Brotherhood)

To the GM's page

The party has an unexpected opportunity... Lucien Lachance recruits the party into killing Severa Magia, a former Dark Brotherhood chapter master that has ran away to hide in the wilderness, in a campfire site, 200 feet north of Suran. Lucien then disappears and tells the party he’ll be watching; this is mission 1.
 * Quest Giver: Lucien Lachance.
 * Location(s): North of Suran and south of Bal Ur.
 * Prerequisite Quest: None.
 * Next Quest: Loose Ends.
 * Reward: Admission into the Dark Brotherhood as Apprentice Rank, 1000G.
 * Optional Bonus: None.

Severa Magia will have NO loot, her sanguine items are rewards for other quests. After this murder, Lucien Lachance is bumped into some time on the street, but this is no accident. He discreetly tells the party to go to Ald Sotha, then disappears. Ald Sotha ends up being the guildhall, and Dandras Vules is now the guild master there (Mournhold chapter is abandoned, and to be used later in the quest-line). Ald Sotha is locked before killing Severa Magia. The party now report to Dandras Vules.
