Anoriath lets loose an arrow

- Return to Nazir.
[edit] Detailed Walkthrough
When you receive this contract from Nazir, he says Anoriath is a hunter who hunts on the plains outside Whiterun. However, prolonged stalking reveals that he does not in fact leave the city. During the day he works at his stall in the market, and at night he retires to The Drunken Huntsman, which is run by his brother, to sleep. Your best bet to take him out without a bounty is to either shoot him during the day from a remote spot such as Jorrvaskr, or to sneak into his bedroom at night and slit his throat. However, both are very difficult to do without incurring a bounty, so plan for this.
Alternatively, like most other assassination targets, you have the option to talk to Anoriath, which gives you three dialogue choices, one of which will turn Anoriath hostile, allowing you to kill him anywhere without fear of incurring a bounty (except if you initiate conversation outside, say at his stall, and then he retreats somewhere inside, like The Bannered Mare, in which case, he will cease to be hostile and it will be considered murder to kill him then). You can only pick one as you will not be able to initiate conversation again.

Response |
| (Remain silent) |
"Well now, you are a strange one. You remind me a bit of myself, when I'm stalking a deer. I'm not quite sure how I feel about that..." |
Walks away |
| "I am the predator. You are my prey." |
"Is that so? We shall see, villain. We shall see!" |
Turns hostile and attacks |
| "Only cowards hunt animals. True game walks on two legs." |
"Are you... threatening me? Walk away fool. It's not worth it." |
Walks away |
Once Anoriath is dead, return to Nazir. Upon rewarding you with leveled gold, Nazir will remark "Ah, so the hunter came to know the fear of the hunted, hmm?".

Notes
- Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g.,
<Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Quest system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
- Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
- Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
- If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
- On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering
setstage DBSideContract08 stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages, but it is possible to clear all stages of the quest using resetquest DBSideContract08.
