The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints
How can I deal with this foul ambush-in-the-making?
1 of 6: The best way is by defusing it before it can get started.
2 of 6: Before you enter Malada and start looking for the panel you need, either kill off the three potential ambushers or make a deal with them.
3 of 6: If you want to make a deal, talk to S'razirr, the Khajiit archer who's up on the hill SW of the ruins' entrance.
4 of 6: Get his disposition up to 65, then talk to him about Claude Maric.
5 of 6: He'll propose a deal in which he helps you against Maric in exchange for half of the reward money.
6 of 6: NOTE: You can find Maric and all of his cronies in the Roxey Inn (location 28 on the Heartlands map) at any time before getting this quest. It can be fun and easy to use a Frenzy spell (see the Spellmaking Tips) to get them to fight each other.
