On one of my DB contracts, I had to kill someone in a city. While I'm skulking around in said city, a guard runs up to me and tells me I have committed crimes against Skyrim, or some such nonsense. My response is to run up to my target, start attacking them with a flurry of dagger strikes, while a whole bunch of guards (and some random civilians) are attacking me, then the target finally dies, so I run away as fast as I can, leave the city, steal a horse, and run back to my client. And on the way to my client, a random NPC in Iron armor starts chasing me down. I lost him easily, being on a horse.

So have you guys had any assassinations that didn't go down so smoothly? Post them here, but please don't name any specific names, cities, or any other spoilers. (or if you do, use spoiler tags) Thanks.
