Oblivion: Elder scrolls question...?

Question

In the ORDER OF THE VIRTUOUS BLOOD quest, I am suppose to search the vampire Roland Jenserie's house for clues. However I keep getting caught by guards everytime I enter his house. How can I not get caught by guards since his house is locked up all the time? Please help, this quest is killing me :O)

Answer 1

What dreamy said...just posted for the points..was going to suggest making or buy chameleon potions.

Answer 2

You should be able to go into sneak mode and wait until the sneak icon goes dim, indicating nobody's watching you.  Then you can pick the lock to your heart's content (or use a scroll/spell of open lock on it, if you've got one).

Answer 3

Follow the quest marker (east of the Imperial Prison Sewer) to the accused's house and break in. (Do it at night so guards won't catch you as easily) As soon as you enter the house, there will be a table directly in front of you with three candles sitting in a bowl. On this table there will be a book with a small piece of paper on top, labeled "Love Letter from Relfina". Grab it quickly! Read the letter to receive a new map marker and Journal update. The letter mentions Roland Jenseric's cabin (the marker that was added to your map), east of the Imperial City in the Great Forest where the two lovers would meet. (While in Roland's house, you may want to visit the basement, too, for some insights into Roland's lifestyle!) You can go back to Seridur's house and speak with him before you head off to find Roland but he will just say that they cannot go with you as fighting isn't their specialty. You can alternatively proceed directly to Roland's cabin.

Upon speaking with Roland he will tell you a different story. He tells you that Seridur is the real killer and vampire. It is up to you to believe or dismiss his story. If you decide to attack Roland he still proclaims his innocence and will not die without a fight. After you kill him, return to Seridur to receive a 250 gold reward. Afterwards, Seridur will dismiss you, end of quest.
