This article will guide the player on how to eliminate Baenlin in the side quest Accidents Happen in the game Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered. This Dark Brotherhood mission challenges you to assassinate a target without raising suspicion.
How To Start ‘Accidents Happen’
Join the Dark Brotherhood and finish your first mission, A Watery Grave. Talk to Vicente again, and he’ll give you the quest Accidents Happen. Your target is an NPC named Baenlin, who lives in Bruma, in a house called Baenlin’s House
Killing Baenlin
In this quest, your objective is to take out a man named Baenlin who lives in the town of Bruma. You have to make it look like an accident. And you can’t hurt his helper, Gromm.
Go to Baenlin’s house in Bruma. Wait until 8 PM, then go in through the front door between 8 and 11 PM—that’s when Baenlin is sitting in his chair.
Note: If Gromm sees you, you’ll lose the bonus! So instead, sneak around the back of the house and use the secret basement door. Then wait until 8 PM before going upstairs.
Once inside the building, carefully sneak up the stairs.
Go into the room on the right with a bed and look for a small crawl space on the wall, near the table.
Enter inside and you’ll see Baenlin sitting in his chair. Loosen the big deer head on the wall, and it will fall on Baenlin’s head and take him out.
Once you’re done, drink an invisibility potion and sneak out of the house. If Gromm sees you near Baenlin’s body, he’ll attack—and you’ll lose the bonus!
