The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints
How can I get into Fathis Aren's tower via pickpocketing?
1 of 4: Find Fathis Aren wandering around and pickpocket him to get "Aren's Tower Key."
2 of 4: NOTE: I know I did this when I first played this quest, but it doesn't seem to be possible anymore, since Fathis Aren is relocated to his tower when you talk to the Gray Fox about this quest, and he doesn't have the tower key before that time. Perhaps this was updated in a patch.
3 of 4: If you can manage to pickpocket the tower key, leave Bravil and find Fathis Aren's tower at location 4 on the Nibenay map.
4 of 4: With the key you stole from Aren, you can enter the tower through its front door.
