It might be possible; I've never thought of trying that. The only way I could think of that would lure the agent out in the open though is by using Frenzy or something similar, and I that isn't very roleplay appropriate either.

I know there is a troll nearby, I wonder if I can lead the beast into Dragonsbridge, run into the Outpost and straight back out again if that triggers the Agents to leave too. I'll try various things but if push comes to shove I'll have to get my hands dirty and break character. I want that armour!

For a build I did a couple months back, I just roleplayed that they were Dark Brotherhood infiltrators--took a couple of them down before destroying the DB, and called it good. I love the PO armor :)

Yeah, I remember that, the Penitus Mentis Mens. Wish I thought of that idea myself when I first made this guy. PO armor is pretty spiffy though; I probably wouldn't have made this build if it didn't exist. :P

Let me know if you get something to work though Phil; it'd be nice if there was a method that didn't involve attacking the guy yourself.

Will do.

I tried luring a spider Into Dragonsridge but the Agent wouldn't leave the house. I ordered Lydia to attack him and didn't incur a bounty or have assault/murder show up on my crime stats.

That makes sense. As far as I'm aware, any crimes your follower commits don't count towards your own.

You could be right. I thought the PC was blamed for all follower crimes but I'm probably mistaken. If I attacked the Agent unprovoked, I'd probably get an assault and murder on my stat page but not sure if I'd get a bounty if he was the only witness.

I wonder if I accidently conjure an atronach and make it mad if the Agent will help me fight it?

That might work, assuming the Atronach wins the battle, which is unlikely for this particular build considering it doesn't use Conjuration. Then again, there are summoning staves for that sort of thing.

Yeah, I was thinking along the lines of a scroll or staff rather than ruin the feel of the build by adding conjuration
