	Although there are two other papers Eivor can consult which hint at two different options for Asser, they are positioned such that only the one citing Psalm 119 can be illuminated for him. There is therefore only one outcome for this sidequest. Asser's immediate reaction to the illumination of Psalm 119 has a tendency to bug, such that these lines fail to play, but the completion of the quest alongside his closing line "''My path is clear...''" will still trigger upon re-entering the church or moving on its rooftops.		Although there are two other papers Eivor can consult which hint at two different options for Asser, they are positioned such that only the one citing Psalm 119 can be illuminated for him. There is therefore only one outcome for this sidequest.

	Asser's ~~note inquiring how~~ Alfred's biography ~~alludes~~ to the ~~infamous~~ opening line in {{Wiki\|Edward Bulwer-Lytton}}'s 1830 novel ''{{Wiki\|Paul Clifford}}'', which reads:<blockquote>''It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents—except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.''</blockquote>		Asser's three floating lines in reaction to the illumination of Psalm 119 has a tendency to bug, such that they fail to play. When they do play, they are repeated perpetually in random order until the player triggers the completion of the quest. The quest's completion, signalled by Asser's closing line "''My path is clear...''" triggers upon re-entering the church or climbing onto its rooftops.

			Upon completion, Asser will run directly to his new study in Wittan Hall. The player can speak with him here at any time to receive his annotated manuscript. His notes for Alfred's biography allude to the opening line in {{Wiki\|Edward Bulwer-Lytton}}'s 1830 novel ''{{Wiki\|Paul Clifford}}'', which reads:<blockquote>''It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents—except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.''</blockquote>

	Asser's note ~~questioning~~ how ~~to better start~~ Alfred's biography ~~references~~ to the infamous opening line of {{Wiki\|Edward Bulwer-Lytton}}'s 1830 novel ''{{Wiki\|Paul Clifford}}'', which reads:<blockquote>''It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents—except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.''</blockquote>		Although there are two other papers Eivor can consult which hint at two different options for Asser, they are positioned such that only the one citing Psalm 119 can be illuminated for him. There is therefore only one outcome for this sidequest. Asser's immediate reaction to the illumination of Psalm 119 has a tendency to bug, such that these lines fail to play, but the completion of the quest alongside his closing line "''My path is clear...''" will still trigger upon re-entering the church or moving on its rooftops.

			Asser's note inquiring how Alfred's biography alludes to the infamous opening line in {{Wiki\|Edward Bulwer-Lytton}}'s 1830 novel ''{{Wiki\|Paul Clifford}}'', which reads:<blockquote>''It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents—except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.''</blockquote>
