This will be some random encounters and funny stories I had with characters from the game.

   So this first one is kind of funny and must of been some really strange glitch in the software of the game. It was after the Savior's Hide mission. In that one I decided to kill Sinding. After killing him later on I was walking to my home Lakeview Manor when I ran across a werewolf wandering the dirt path. It did not attack nor even seem to notice me. So I ran up to it and attacked it. Again the werewolf did not fight back, and its life bar said it was none other than Sinding. Seriously, I ran into him less than a week after killing him, and my girl was wearing the armor she got from skinning him! So after killing him yet again she ran off with a wolf pelt and bagged trousers. Some crazed glitch.
(Not the only time such things happen. Many times you may see a NPC you already killed walking around)

   Since I already did one character back from the dead story might as well do another. When trying to get the Ebony Blade I ended up killing Farengar Secret Fire. My pickpocket skill was horrifically low, and the only way to get the key at the time was to kill him. So some time later I caught Odahviing, and I heard Odahviing yelling at Farengar. And I heard Farengar talking back about how it was such an honor and he wanted to examine him. So basically Odahviing was yelling at a ghost. 
(I assume this is because the dialogue between them was somehow important or just always there that even after having killed him the game used it not realizing the fact Farengar was suppose to be dead.)

   How many times has it happened where someone joins the Dark Brotherhood and kills someone only to have to deal with a family member or friend of the victim? For me it happens a few times. I killed the owner of  Drunken Huntsman's brother and later on had to do a thieves Guild mission and did small talk with him while waiting for the right moment. And their initial dialogue is less than friendly when greeting you. They will say the following "Greetings you miserable scum." But then they will act friendly if you are buying  from them doing quests for them or need something. I find it odd at times but enjoy it. Even the Jarl of Falkreath now uses this greeting  since I killed someone in his court for a Dark Brotherhood contract.

   Okay I decided to also include a useful hint in this chapter about the Dark Brotherhood.
If you are hired to kill someone and there is no specific method on how to do it but this person is almost always around other NPCs there may be a way to kill them without sneaking or receiving a bounty. You speak to the character and  choose the most insulting and or threatening dialogue option there is and most of the time the character will become aggressive and attack you. And when this happens killing them will appear to have been self defense and the guards nor other witnesses will attack you attempt to arrest you nor will you receive a bounty. One of such occasions I was hired to kill a Kahjiit. My dialogue was mentioning how to skin a cat and well, you can imagine he did not react friendly to such a unique threat.

   One more useful hint for the Dark Brotherhood. To level up a weapon or your destruction magic along with your restoration when you rebuild the Dawnstar Sanctuary have the torture chamber built. First off this is a great way to make money off of the victims, by hitting them a few times with your weapon or magic and they will tell you where hidden loot is. Second using heal other after their health reaches half or just below every time you attack then continue attacking will increase your attack method skill and your restoration skill. This will help you reach legendary rather quickly if you don't mind doing this for a while.
