Over the years, Skyrim fans have encountered similar contracts sent by some unlikely characters. As an example, a Skyrim player found out that a child in Whiterun sent assassins after them, making it seem like the sender can be any random NPC in the game. Now, one gamer was attacked by assassins hired by one of the unlikeliest NPCs in the world of Skyrim.

A Reddit user named LfSantos22 has shared an image of a contract showing that CuSith wanted to teach them a lesson. For those who are unaware, CuSith is a death hound found in Volkihar Keep, a location found in Skyrim’s Dawnguard DLC, making this scenario all the more absurd. Players can find a picture of the death found in the second image featured in the Reddit post.

Fans in the comments section appear just as surprised as LfSantos22, with one imagining CuSith sitting on a chair and handing a bag of money to the assassin. Another user states that they thought it was bad enough for children to send assassins after the Dragonborn, but at least they could hold a quill to write this contract. There is perhaps an even worse scenario, as one Skyrim fan claims to have been attacked by assassins sent by a chicken.

The Dawnguard DLC was included in Skyrim Special Edition, and there are a couple of ways of this starting questline. Players should also note that death hounds can become followers if they side with the vampires during the Dawnguard DLC. So, gamers can have CuSith as an ally in their playthrough of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, which may be a roundabout way to ensure that it doesn’t send assassins to kill them.

Dawnguard is one of three major add-ons Bethesda released for Skyrim, the other two being Hearthfire and Dragonborn. While Hearthfire was mainly focused on building homes inside the world of Skyrim, Dragonborn allowed players to visit the island of Solstheim and play through a brand-new series of quests.

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim - Anniversary Edition is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
