When attacking Innocents

When attacking innocents, how does one keep them from squealing?

I have heard that paralyzing may help, but I also wondered about silencing spells.

Also feel free to share your best sneak kill and how you did it. Thanks for the input.

Oh, and i'm talking about enemies that you can't kill in one hit......just to clarify.

Silence would probably be the best. Enchanting your bow with it.

Paralyze could also work, but you'd have to use a potion, since you can not Enchant with the Paralyze spell.

A good combination, would be to have a Bow that has a Silence Enchantment, and then use a Poison that has a Paralyze effect. Enchanted Weapons & Potions can have more than one effect too.

I've never really been two worried about Squealers, since I'm gonna kill them all anyways.

Best Shot: With my Last Character, Assasin/Mage, I use a Weakness to Poison/Magic & Soul Trap Bow, an Arrow of Immolation, & Tripple Damage Poison. There were three mages/necro's in a cavern. I watched them, and saw that they tended to group, so I waited/sneaked in the corridor, got all three with one shot.

I wasn't really expecting it. I expected to drop the one in the middle. I figured he'd take the Sneak x3 & Poison Tripple Damage. I just expected to get 65 Flame damage from the Area Effect of the Arrow of Immolation.

Silence won't stop them squealing, it's rather badly named in that respect!

Paralyze should work, and not being detected, so keep sneaky and try to position yourself behind them so they won't see you anyhow.

I tend to use Arrows of Cleansing or of Savage Frost, both do 80pts damage (40x2secs) on a 10' radius, so I also Enchant my Bows with weakness to Fire or Frost 100% 10', as well as the usual weakness to Poison and Fire or Frost damage.

And I use Poison that paralyzes (only 3 secs, but enough for most, and plenty of time to get a 2nd shot in if req'd) and silences as well as the various Damages.
