I've been told to get some recipies from a woman named Aurane Frernis in Vivec's foreign quarter. So far so good. I've found where she is, and i've found the recipies, but no matter what I try, I just can't take them without being seen. I don't have a high sneak skill (10 I think) and it's such a tiny room I doubt you could swipe it without being seen anyway. When I do take it, I either get smacked down by her m4d sk|llz lightning spell, which my level 4 elf cant handle unfortunatly, or i run out of the room before she has chance to cast it. Is there a way to grab the recipies without being seen, or am I forced to pay the fine and turn myself into the guards?

First off, I highly recommend getting your sneak up as high as you can, as alot of the Hlaalu quests either involve beating down tough people or stealing from them. That being said, try to get her to look away, using the ol' move-close-and-then-walk-behind-them trick, then holding the sneak button down and walking this way or that patiently until you get the icon. If you get the sneak icon that means noone is looking at you (which is also useful for things such as the morag tong assassinations), and then just swipe it.

What I did was quicksave while right next to the recipes, then I kept trying to steal the formulas... took me like 30 tries, even though my sneak was about 70.

well, what would happen if you picked up the recipe, the immediately drpped it? would the gaurds still confiscate it with all the othe stolen goods?

I had the recipe confiscated from me after I stole it from the table, but I discovered another (or the same?) scroll inside the locked chest in her room so I was able to complete the quest on the second try.
