I have been now twice attacked by Dark Brotherhood assassins and the note they carried said that a woman had hired them to kill me. I have no idea about that woman.
I just wonder why. I have killed quite many bandits. Could that be a sister or wife of a dead bandit or what? I haven't murdered anyone and
i have attacked only bandits and creatures - although my stats for some reason show a couple of assaults.

I have also been attacked by a witch or necromancer with powerfull spells. I have died every time and when i have loaded the game again
the attacker hasn't been in the same place any more. Hmm, i have also killed quite many necromancers, could this be some kind of a revenge?

No. I don't think those two connects.

i joined the dark brotherhood and for s n g's i started shooting arrows at all of them i escaped only to be later hunted down by an assassin. You mightve shot at or hit one of the dark brotherhood without knowing

I too, was attacked by an assassin carrying a not saying that I had to be killed at all costs. Since then however, I have joined the Dark Brotherhood and not run into another one since.

I was attacked by such an assassin as well. It's pretty cool too, since the note mentions your character by name. I love the idea that the Dark Brotherhood wants me dead. I love this game!
