From the personal research notes of Morgrimm, warlock-assassin of the Dark Brotherhood.
8:15 a.m. - Woke up at the Candlehearth Hall in Windhelm. Stayed up late experimenting with some new potions; brewed a tea with a black, bitter herb I bought off a khajiit trader to compensate.
9:30 a.m. - Dropped off the excess results from my experimenting at the White Phial. Used some coin to purchase more canis root and charus eggs, necessary for the paralysis and invisibility potions I've been making.
10:15 a.m. - Met the mercenary, Stervan, outside Candlehearth. Shared a flask of whiskey on the steps until the target, Gaius Maro, arrived in the city. According to the schedule I stole from his father's men, Maro the younger will be touring the city's defenses and guard rotations before staying in the barracks tonight. Luckily, the city is still on edge because of a series of murders by a killer being called "the Butcher", so the barracks will be nearly empty tonight while the guards do extra patrols.
