Sounds like you triggered the hackdirt quest, I don't know much about it...

I plan on doing it in the week or so, but I know it starts in chorrol.

Possibly a reference to the Dwemer or the Cthulhu of H.P Lovecraft.

I totally read too much. Tongue


Heres what I take of your situation, and I think it may be a bug or a crack in the script:
- The quest has not yet been initiated, ie Dar-ma has not been kidnapped. (Though, odds are she has been, since Darma automatically approaches you to say hello when you go to Chorrol in midday. After that, she should get captured.)
-You picked up the strange diary while you were doing what you do best in Hackdirt. This initiated hostile behavior from hackdirt residents. However, you did not continue the quest.
-As happens a lot with NPCs, the residents go after you, slowly. You've been attacked by people who have sought you for possibly quite some time.

I wouldn't worry too much. You should probably try and do that quest if you haven't already, since I encountered no problems from anything unexpected since I completed it. Start by talking to seed-neeus in chorrol's Northern goods and trade.

If I remember right, there is more than one way to complete the quest... or maybe more than one quest. I think I rescued her from her kidnappers and returned her home without being asked to do so because I simply happened upon the town before her mother had the chance to ask. It was quite a while ago, so I could be wrong. I would definitely suggest trying to complete the quest to see if that solves the problem. It seems unlikely that you have a group of respawning assassins on your hands. This isn't like in Morrowind's main quest. I'm quite sure there's nothing like that in Oblivion.

ahhh ok but do they usually venture out from Hackdirt??

They don't usually... but if you're ever in a fight and you flee the scene, you'll sometimes find an NPC chases you to the ends of the Earth to finish the fight, even game-weeks later. A minor glitch in the AI, I think. You might not have even realized you fled the fight... they just got angry at you and were blocked from attacking you somehow, causing some sort of digital grudge.

Lol, i thought it was quite fun, everytime they attacked me id just run past some guards with them trailing behind, and then theyd chase me and the guards would chase them, and pretty soon i had a whole horde of people chasing me all over cyrodill, lol, but yeah after a while it is a little bit of a nuisance  Smiley
