The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Misdirection

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Misdirection

S'Krivva in Bravil informs you that Hieronymus Lex has invaded the Waterfront District, moving a huge number of the City Watch to patrol there in hopes of finding and arresting the Gray Fox. Armand Christophe has once again been placed under house arrest and many of your fellow Thieves Guild members have either been arrested or forced into hiding.

S'Krivva informs you that Methredhel is coordinating the Thieves Guild's efforts in reclaiming the district. She wants you to travel to the Imperial City, locate Methredrel and help in any way that you can.

Travel to the Imperial City and follow the standard procedure of locating a beggar to get the necessary information. They will tell you that Methredrel is staying at Dynari Amnis' house in the Talos Plaza District. Proceed to Dynari's house, where you will find Methredrel. She tells you her plan to force Lex out of the Waterfront: she is coordinating five different thieves to steal five different artifacts from five different places in the city, all at the same time.

She wants you to be one of these thieves and asks you to steal Hrormir's Icestaff from the room of the Archmage of the Arcane University. She then wants you to place a note from the Gray Fox in his bedside table.

Methredrel tells you that the Archmage sleeps from 1:00am - 7:00am, so go into the Arcane University during these hours. There are no guards, as they have all been re-assigned by Lex to the Waterfront.

In the Archmage's lobby at the University there is a portal to the Council Chamber. Go through this portal, and then another one leading to the Archmage's quarters. If you have come at the right time he should be asleep, with the staff on a chest at the foot of his bed.

Methredrel will now ask you to spy on Lex until he is ordered to leave the Waterfront, eavesdrop on any conversations he has and report back to her.

Travel to the Waterfront and you will find Lex among the shacks. Move near Lex until you are locked into a viewing mode. A Dremora will approach Lex and hand him a note from Raminus Polus of the University, which Lex will throw to the ground before storming off, taking his men with him. Grab the note and return to Methredrel.

Methredrel will now ask that you return Hrormir's Icestaff. Going back to the University is out of the question due to the increase in guards.

In order to return the staff she suggests you must sneak into the house of Ontus Vanin, a researcher for the Arcane University who lives in the Talos Plaza District. Once inside, proceed to Ontus' private quarters on the second floor and place the staff in Ontus' chest.

Return to S'Krivva for a reward of 300 gold, a promotion to Cat Burglar and confirmation of your ability to access Luciana Galena in Bravil as your new fence.

I take it that your already arch-mage, has anyone tried this quest while holding that position?

[CloverGod]

@121MultiGhost the only place it could be is in the arch mage's quarters, unless you moved it on accident. Doubtful it's a bug.

[121MultiGhost]

@CloverGod yes i know where it is but it isnt there

[CloverGod]

@121MultiGhost It's in the arch mages room in front of his bed :)
