Disagreeable Competition is a quest.

Details

Property	Description
Giver	Dark Brotherhood
Membership	Member
Requirements	Rank 0+
Summary	Kill a freelance assassin in a dungeon, then the employer who hired him in a stronghold.

Objectives

Use the location names in your quest journal. Follow map markers when they are available.

Step	Objective	Optional
1	Account the assassin, the freelance assassin at work in the quest dungeon	No
2	Account the assassin's employer, the knight, in the quest destination	No
3	Return to your quest giver in the named town	No

Outcomes

Added gear requires a successful quest payment and a qualifying outcome. Quest mail alone does not count as payment.

Outcome	Gold multiplier	Gear choice
The assassin and the knight are both accounted, and the Brotherhood's monopoly stands.	100%	Yes
The assassin is dead but the knight lives. The Brotherhood called it enough, and paid nothing.	No added payment	No
The assassin still undercuts the Brotherhood.	No added payment	No

With Questlines enabled, these outcomes control the added rewards. Gold multipliers apply only to gold the quest actually pays. A gear choice offers a weapon, armour and jewellery; keep one. See Quest rewards and loot for rarity, payment and online reward rules.

Possible quest foes

Foe	Group size
Assassin	1
Knight	1

These are the script’s possible foe groups, including conditional encounters. They are not all guaranteed to appear together; repeated attacks and ordinary dungeon enemies can add more. Follow a foe’s reference for its combat rules before choosing weapons.

See Quest reference for offer requirements across quests.
