Has anyone ever been inside the Telvanni "treasury" yet? if not, it is the sweetest stash of stuff I have seen in one place at one time. It is a tad difficult getting in, what with the initial room being patrolled by a pair of Storm Atronachs and the second room being guarded by a pair of Ordinators. I am a mage and have a spell that provides 94% chameleon (its better than invisible if you want to steal stuff) but the guards keep seeing me. I have this idea, though. I think that if I kill the guards (fines are only a few thousand) then I can steal the stuff, recall back to Fort Moonmoth, turn myself in, pay the fine and reclaim my stuff from the evidence locker. THat seems a bit complicated, though, and would like to know if anyone has ever robbed the Telvani Vault, and if so, how did you do it? :eww:

Even better is, you can strip down and drop everything but your gold, then turn yourself in, pay the fine, and pick all your stuff back up and re-equip it.

I have robbed all three vaults... the Telvanni was the first one I got into though... I had to buff my character up at the time to take on those Storm Atronachs since I was low level... I could only steal the stuff on the right hand side of the vault all the way up to the shelf on the back wall with the ebony boots, I would just wait until the ordinators were in the little door nook facing away and work quickly.. it took some time.
The easiest way is to just use Persuasion Taunt on the Ordinators to get them to attack you. That's what I did once I was high level enough to take them out... they really aren't that tough if you are low level even, with the right spells and plenty of potions. It's not worth it to steal and then have to pay the fine or whatever.
If you taunt the ordinators and then kill them once they have attacked you, it doesn't count as murder or anything.
I would then set a Mark in the vault, use Almsivi or Divine Intervention to teleport out or just walk out, stash the loot at one of my various houses in Balmora (I filled all the shelf/table space in Council Club so I "appropriated" Clagius Clanler's Outfitting shop, not to mention my stash of stuff in Dura Gra-Bol's house, also "appropriated") Once you drop the loot, strip naked and teleport back to your mark, pick up the rest of the loot, and repeat as needed :)
The Redoran and Hlaalu vaults have similar amounts of loot in them but you have to kill 3 or 4 ordinators for each, plus you have to kill the Vault Administrators and some other various people. Well worth it if you can take em out though.
