| | If any cult soldier is killed at this location during or even before this quest is active, the Pythia will be interrogated by a [[The Monger|forceful brute]] of a cultist during [[The Serpent's Lair]]. Killing them after completing the quest does not seem to trigger the interrogation. |
| | | *Players seeking to avoid this should knock out enemies rather than kill them, or fire arrows into corners to draw them away from doors. However, recruiting unconscious guards appears to also trigger the interrogation. Detection and fleeing out of sight is also allowed, but the Pythia can only be spoken to while anonymous. |

| | *For the duration of this quest, a random mercenary may stand guard at the residence alongside the cult soldiers. It is unclear if their demise affects this.{{Cite|14 Aug 2021. Needs confirmation}} |
