The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints

Drunk and Disorderly

  • 1 of 11: Ask Oreyn about "Duties" and "Causing trouble" to get this quest.
  • 2 of 11: Travel to Leyawiin and find the three guys you're after in the Five Claws Lodge near the NW corner of the city.
  • 3 of 11: Talk to Vantus Prelius about "Causing trouble" and "Blackwood Company" to learn that he and the other two are just ticked off at the Blackwood Company for getting all the good fighter-type work contracts in Leyawiin.
  • 4 of 11: Tell him that he and his men need work to keep busy to get the "Fighters Guild Jobs" topic.
  • 5 of 11: Get the nearby Argonian innkeeper's disposition up to 40 and ask her about "Fighters Guild Jobs" to be referred to Margarte.
  • 6 of 11: Follow your local map's quest arrow to wherever Margarte is and talk to her about jobs.
  • 7 of 11: She'll say that she could use some fighter-style help, but she won't give her business to the Fighters Guild until you gather five portions of ectoplasm (ghost residue) for her.
  • 8 of 11: Give her the ectoplasm, then go tell Vantus Prelius the good news.
  • 9 of 11: TIP: You can pickpocket your ectoplasm back from Margarte if you're a good enough sneak.
  • 10 of 11: After that, report back to Oreyn in Chorrol to finish the quest.
  • 11 of 11: NOTE: Margarte will now buy minotaur horns and ogre's teeth from you in batches of five, but it's a big rip-off. If you have those items and want to sell them, you should instead sell to an alchemy merchant and get more money.
