HELP: Thieves Guild "steal Dewrn (??) artifacts frm Mebestein Ence(trader in Pelgiad

Hey everyone.

I am now working for the thieves guild and am doing a quest where I have go to Pelgiad and steal certain (?? Derwan ??) artifacts from Mebestein Ence (trader in Pelgiad) so I can bride a guard (who was smuggling those artifacts) to free a fellow thieve guild guy.

First thing I did:
I searched absolutly every where in the house and found one chest on a self that I could not open, even with a master lock pick.

Next:
After many trys to pickpocket him, I finally did it and saw a key in his inventory called "Mebsteins key." I tried probably 100 times to steal it, for some reason I could never steal it. I could steal other stuff but not the key.

Next:
I was real pissed off so I just pulled out the old mace and killed him. I stole the key, ran away, and then (after first dropping the key in a good place, so the guard would not steal it from me) paid the fine for my bad crime.

Last thing I did:
Then I went back into his house and tried opening that suspicious chest. It did not work. Then I searched every house in the damn town, but still nothing.

The problem:
I need the Dwern (??spelling??) artifact so I can beat the mission. I don't feel like walking all the way back to Belmora. Can someone please tell me how to GET THOSE ARTIFACTS? Also, can anyone tell me WHAT TO DO WITH MEBESTEIN'S KEY?

Thanks a lot everyone. Sorry for writing so much.

The item you're looking for is called a dwemer Cohrer. I had a similar problem with this quest because I raided his shop before I got the quest and "misplaced" the artifact. I came on here and asked 'All-Knowing Forsythe' and he told me what it was. If you go to some Dwemer ruins and happen across one, you can use it to complete this quest. Good luck:thumb:

All-knowing, eh? Gawd, I wish ;)
Btw, sabaka2, if you get desperate you can pick one up in the Dwemer ruins (Bethamez) deep in Gnisis' eggmine. Be sure to not lose either the book or the "Dwemer Airship Plans" in there; better yet, don't even get 'em unless you know you won't lose 'em. A Mage Guild quest wants 'em

Edit: Btw, sabaka2, please note we have a 'Hints & Spoilers' section for this type of question...

Go back to Mebstein's place. Upstairs on the top shelf of the bookshelf near his dresser is a lockbox. You might need to hop onto the table to open it. The dwemer artifact is in there.

Cheers,
