2 of 14: Then find Uvani's house near the SE corner of Leyawiin and break into it on a day when he's not home.
3 of 14: What you're going to do is leave the mead where he'll drink it accidentally.
4 of 14: Find all three tables on the house's lower floor and take *all* the food and utensils off of them, then raid the three cupboards.
5 of 14: Then go up to the second floor and repeat with the two tables there. (The second is in the locked bedroom and has two bottles of cheap wine on it.)
6 of 14: After that's all grabbed up, drop all the bottles of mead and poisoned apples you have in the bedroom area.
7 of 14: TIP: If your lockpicking skills are up to it, you can pick open the hidden wall safe that's behind the large painting in the bedroom to find some Dark Brotherhood-related items. I wonder what he's doing with those?
8 of 14: When everything's all set, go do something else until it's Loredas (the day before Sundas), then return to Leyawiin.
9 of 14: Check all of the food locations in his house to make sure none of the food items have respawned. They do that every now and then.
10 of 14: Uvani probably won't show up until Sundas afternoon, so wait around outside his house until he's in it. (You can tell he's inside before you go in if there's a red quest arrow on his door on the local map.)
11 of 14: Save your game, then wait until about 1 am on Morndas (the next day), since that's when he leaves if he hasn't consumed any of your apples or mead.
12 of 14: Unfortunately, he will almost certainly leave then, not having eaten or drunk a thing.
13 of 14: The only way I was ever able to get him to drink any mead or eat any poisoned apples was to sneak into his Private Quarters area with a 100% Chameleon effect on me (see my Enchanting Tips to find out how to get such an effect) and watch him until he ate or drank something.
14 of 14: If you can't ever get it to work for you, you'll have to try the Other Strategies.
