The missing sacrament...

lonewolf26 · August 2016

Deep within the confines of the Dark Brotherhood's Sanctuary a voice thick with the Khajiiti accent can be heard...

"Sweet mother... Sweet mother send your child unto me, for the sins of the unworthy must be baptized in blood and fear." The khajiit bears down with the dagger in his hand stabbing the effigy before him.

"This is peculiar. What are you doing initiate?" The Listener steps forth from the shadows addressing the khajiit. "What brings you to call upon lord Sithis?"

"Ambition Listener. It has been a great many months and this one has offered the souls of a great many people to lord Sithis," the khajiit pulls forth his journal turning to a page with the heading Achievements DLC: Dark Brotherhood, "however this one has not received a contract for that man."

The listener steals a glance over the khajiit's shoulder at the page, waiting silently for him to finish. The khajiit points a clawed finger at a name on the page. Alard Cerone.

"Alard Cerone is standing between this one and the recognition he has earned." He points further down the page to another entry...

"The fates have denied this one so many times," the khajiit continues, "It seems Alard Cerone is so saintly none wish to call for his demise. This one thought to take matters into his own paws."

The listener breaks the silence betraying both his amusement and a hint of annoyance, "This is unprecedented to say the least. However you were contracted to kill Monsashana tonight..."

"This one has killed her a great many times. So many that this one wonders if she is a necromancer or has one in her service. This one wants Alard."

The listener huffs, "His soul is promised to Sithis, and you will have him... when the fates allow."

"When?!" the khajiit exclaims flustered.

"No ETA!"

(Here's hoping that cat find him sometime. It's been just over 4 months and he's still not received a contract for Alard.)

When you first get your contract check it, if he is not on it do not do it. Check again later that day if it is a different contract do it, if it's the same keep waiting till it changes.

There are different ones per day but hours apart. When I was doing mine all 8 would have the same exact contract as the others, unless I didn't do them all around the same time. Then the ones who didn't already do it would have a different one. Not sure what the cycle is on them, I know it's under 24 hours but over 2 hours. It could even be that it cycles with the in-game day, which I believe is almost(just slightly under) 6 hours real time.

I'll give that a shot. I'd mostly been picking up my quests when they first reset.

Epilogue:

Later that night, the khajiit pads lithely through the corridors of the a sanctuary. A feindish smile crosses his face as he halts hearing a familiar voice.

"It would seem the fates were kind tonight initiate..." the Listener remarks, " We'll done."

"Thank you Listener." the khajiit replies.

"I suppose, with your business concluded, you will not be taking any more contacts then," the speaker leads.

"On the contrary. There is always more work to be done..."

The khajiit continues down the corridor to the mess hall.

"That there is."
