Brotherhood of darkness, killing captives

[R2COM]

In the Abandoned Shack, I do not mind maybe joining the Astrid. If i choose a hostage to kill, I'll kill Khajit.

However, as you know, one of the captives is a woman who has 6 children waiting for her at home.

I want to know, if I kill Khajit, and join the Astrid's family of dark brotherhood. Will that woman captive be freed later? or not?

You can go back to the cottage months later and they will still be there

[R2COM]

that is stupid :)

Just kill them all

One of her kids probably placed the contract.

Or just kill Astrid, then get the quest to destroy the rest of the dark brotherhood. I always kill the khajiit after killing Astrid, because I don't like his threats, then release the other two. They will be gone next time you visit the abandoned shack.

You should try the Good Brotherhood mod. You find dossiers on all your targets. With this mod, all 3 have a reason they should be killed for.
The soldier commited war crimes, the mother of 6 is a snitch for the Thalmor, and the khajiit...well he's khajiit. He's gotta be guilty of something.

I always kill the mother.

Just kill them all and be done with it
