Detailed WalkthroughEdit
Carnius MagiusEdit
After two days, speak to Carnius to learn about a plot to assassinate Falco at the colony. Carnius wants to show that the colony is still unsafe despite all the recent efforts. He has arranged Baslod to pose as a native Nord that will distract the guards and allow you to strike Falco with a poisoned arrow from the mining tower. Carnius warns you to ensure that no one sees you and he'll deny everything if you're caught.
Setting UpEdit
Make your way to Raven Rock to get setup for the assassination attempt. Make sure you have a bow and some extra arrows (a good marksman skill wouldn't hurt either). The mining tower is the tall wooden structure on the West side of town with the large ramp. The arrow, the bow and the scroll are up on the top waiting for you.
Signaling BaslodEdit
According to the instructions, you have to draw the bow that has been provided (a Steel Bow) in order to signal Baslod to distract the guards. Indeed, once you equip and draw the bow, he will appear from around a building and get the guards out of the way, making it clear for your shot. The special arrow has a ranged poison spell so aim low so that even if you miss you'll probably kill Falco. Depending on your skill and shot, a direct hit should kill Falco instantly.
Return to CarniusEdit
Return to Carnius with the news of Falco's death and receive 4000 gold and an Ice Shield (unenchanted) as a reward.
