She says you've repaid your debt in full and gives you the key to the shack. What matters is that she ordered you to kill someone, and you obeyed. If you ask her who had the contract, she says it is irrelevant. Or you can kill them all if you are playing an evil character. If you are having a hard time deciding, try Vasha, the Khajiit Criminal. There is no right answer, any of them advances the objective. He confesses that he killed people as a soldier, when ordered to, and perhaps on occasions he got carried away. If you ask if someone would pay to have him killed, he cries that he does not want to die. Captive #3, Fultheim the Fearless This is a Nord Warrior. She tells you she is a woman living in Skyrim with six children and no husband, she does not have the time or patience to be "nice", so she had made some enemies. Ask her if someone would pay to have her killed. Release her, and she promises her associates will not hunt you down like an animal and butcher you in the street Captive #2, Alea Quintus This woman appears to have anger issues. Vasha says that every day someone wants to kill her. We're all friends here (PERSUADE) Try the second choice. You can tell her: Answer me, or I'll paint this room with your blood (INTIMIDATE) Come on, you can tell me. Speak to them in any order: Captive #1, Vasha Vasha is a Khajiit, an obtainer of goods, taker of lives, and defiler of daughters. Your objective now is to kill one of the captives. Astrid will only give me the key if I kill someone she has taken captive, to repay my debt. I have been taken captive and moved to some remote shack. Open your quest log: With Friends Like These Astrid, of the Dark Brotherhood, informed me that by killing Grelod the Kind, I have robbed her organization of a kill. Repayment of your debt is but a discreet knife thrust away. Make your kill, and you settle the debt with the Dark Brotherhood. You can respond: I'll have no part of this insanity Allright, I'll do it. Astrid tells you to make your choice, make your kill. You have to figure one which person it is who has the contract on him or her. There is a contract on one of them, and that person cannot leave this room alive. She tells you to turn around, you will notice her guests. Ask her if she wants you to murder someone else and who is the next target. Grelod the kind was by all rights a Dark Broterhood Contract and you stole the kill. She tells you how that little Aretino boy was looking for the Dark Brotherhood, for Astrid and her associates. You can reply: A problem? I don't think I like where this is going.

Old crone had it coming, and you saved a group of Urchins, to boot. Old hag gets butchered in her own orphanage. That's more than can be said for old Grelod. You're warm, dry and still very much alive. You are awaken in a small shack, in front of you is a Dark Brotherhood Assassin named Astrid.

Get a room, and have your character sleep in the bed. The mysterious note as a black paw on it, and underneath it says "We Know". But he was paid a hefty sum to get the note to you.

He does not know who the note is from, he just saw a creepy fellow, black robes. A Courier sometimes will catch up with you, has something to deliver for your hands only. Leave Windhelm, and go to one of the inns in any of the cities. This quest is unlocked after completing "Innocence Lost".
