The second quest that you recieve from Sugar-Lips Habasi from the Thieves Guild is impossible! If you try to pickpocket Ondres himself...well...you can't! You have to kill him, which means that you don't get the money for the job. And his servant is surrounded by bunches of people that dislike you in the Council Club, so pickpocketing him means lots of swords and a price on your head! Quite o tough job to pull. Anyone got any pointers. How high do your skills need to be to pickpocket and sneak? I'm assuming quite high, because I'm only a Level 1 Thief :rolleyes:. It's the second quest you get in the guild, and Balmora is the first place you have to go in the game (Case of Soda Guy...you know his name), so I join the guild. That tells me that it shouldn't be too hard. Now I'm just rambling! Help is appreciated.

Did Cassius (the guy you had to drop off the package to) ask you yet to go to Fort Monmouth yet? The guy there will give you a task which will make your pickpocketing task MUCH easier.
Please reply if you need hints on how to do THAT one, too. The... order... of how you do it can be important, and kinda tricky... I'm being vague cause I don't want to spoil anything too much.
However, there's another way to do the pickpocketing mission, too. [spoiler]Go to Nevano Manor and simply kill Mr. Nevano. Then take his key. It feels awfully cheap and, if you're trying to play non-violent (as I was at the time) a little arbitrary, but it gets the job done.[/spoiler]

nah, the easy way is
[spoiler]
get a load of fortify personality potions (I was up to 90 Per on them) and you can talk his servant into giving the key
[/spoiler]

I worked on upping my acceptance by him (the servant). I saved and tried both admiration and bribery repeatedly, resaving each time I got an increase, reloading each time I failed, until I got him to 100. Then when I asked him, he mentioned some consideration. I then bribed him 10 more gold and he gave me the key. Took some time but worked. :)

What do you mean, you cant pickpocket him? I just grabbed his key, and give it to habasi
Pemrick69 on 29/5/2002 at 23:23
nevermind.. i think i did kill him.. I remembered i almost got the key, but he caught, when i tried to take it from him.. i did do some quest where you had to pickpocket someone.. But i was consufed, so ignore me

Just kill 2 birds with 1 stone, talk to larrius in ft. moonmouth get him to tell you to kill the commonna tong, kill them all in the council club, avoid guards and return to him he pays off your bounty then pick pocket the key and you are done.
