Getting the Assassin to attack... (spoiler)

How exactly do you get the assassin to attack your party?

I had run through the Moathouse, killed everybody, stole Lareth's stuff, and then went back to Hommlet. I sold Lareth's armor, boots, and necklace to Rannos. So, me, thinking the assassin encounter was in Nulb, continued on to there, and did several quests, including buying the house. So, I spend a few in-game days there, before remembering I have to get the Target of Revenge for the encounter in Nulb. So, I turn around and go back to Hommlet. I do a few more small quests there, then try to spend a night at the inn. No assassin. I head back to R&G, barter with them, and buy back my Lareth gear, selling it to Gremag this time, just to see if that would work. I also talked to the courrier and bribed a shortsword out of R&G. Went back to the inn, rested again, and still nothing.

So, what am I doing wrong here? I never encountered the Assassin before, and I really want to see the encounter.

 

The assassin attacks you when travelling on the open road. Try "Passing Time" for a few days, then hitting the highway again to see if you can force the encounter. Looks like you've gone for less than a week of game time without having it, and it might take some more.

 

Ah, thanks. I thought I read somewhere that the attack happened in the Welcome Wench. Well, thanks for clearing it up. :thumbsup:

 

the assassin can attack with the target of revenge quest, if you sell the boots and then become a target of revenge. otherwise you'll be attacked one day in the wild by him.

 

hmm, i never realized selling Laroth's boots triggered a quest. I always give them to ELmo with the armor.

I've never seen this quest triggered.

So how buffed is the assassin? Is it a drow assassin?

does it show up in the final titles after killing the lady of fungi?
