Oblivion: How to Kill Adamus Phillida (with bonus!)

This is a how to video tutorial for the Dark Brotherhood quest, "Permanent Retirement". Killing Adamus Phillida can be difficult, especially if your sneak skill isn't very high. However, as this video should show, this quest should be easy enough to complete for mages.

The Chameleon spell used in this video can be purchased at the Bravil Mages Guild from Ita Rienus.

The bow used is Shadowhunt, a previous Dark Brotherhood quest reward.

Adamus Phillida resides in Leyawiin after his retirement and swims every day in a pool by the castle from 3 PM to 8 PM. This is the perfect opportunity to kill him using the Rose of Sithis since he removes his armor at this time. Be warned, that Phillida has a bodyguard that will attack you on sight, even after you have killed Phillida undetected.

Cast the Chameleon spell and get into sneak mode. Maneuver into a position where you are unseen, take out your bow, aim, and fire. When you loot him, make sure you take all of his keys. They will come in handy should you want to pursue the bonus (which you should because it's easy). Loot the finger with the keys and travel to the Imperial City Prison.

Make sure that you do the next part between 1 AM and daylight since there is a guard in the Imperial Legion Offices that doesn't leave until about midnight. Walk right up to the door (should be the second one on the left) and open it. This is made extremely easy if you looted all of Phillida's keys. :) The desk is locked, so make sure you have a means to open it. Then, simply place the finger inside and return to Ocheeva for your bonus of 500 extra coins!
