I have a question about them. Coming out of Meridia's (Kilkereath) a few days ago, I made my way towards Rorikstead. Just outside of Dragons Bridge, I am assaulted by a Dark Brotherhood assassin. They failed. I round a corner in the road and another hits me. They also failed. I now have a name, Astrid, and know this group is after me. Is there anything I can do? This is the second time 2 assassins have attacked me in quick succession.

A bit of background. I avoided chatting with Innkeepers this playthrough. I do not know about, nor visited the Aretino boy in Windhelm. I have no clue about the nightmares happening in Riften's Orphanage.

I stopped in Dragons Bridge to see of the Legate is their, but he is noticeably gone. Is there any "natural" way my character can track these fools down? I realize I already broke some "character knowledge" rules I like to impose on myself, but I was just curious what options may be out there
