Oblivion talk:A Brush With Death

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

Note: when I did this quest Tivela and Rythe attacked me for no reason after I received the apron. I killed them both in self-defence (and got the "Your actions have been observed by unseen forces" message) and in searching their bodies afterwards, I found they both had "Bralin's Key". No idea what the use of this key may be yet.

Good call moving this to discussion Hashimashadoo. It was late, I was tired and it just didn't occur to me, heh. Jondrasar 01:27, 6 April 2006 (EDT)

[edit] "Bralin's Key" etc

"Bralin's Key" is the key for the Lythandas house door.. Rythe and Tivela should have one.

I expect it's called Bralin's key because Rythe was going to be called Bralin originally, or maybe the owner of the house was.. There isn't anyone called Bralin in the game now anyway.

Also, the Apron is level-linked.

[edit] Bug

This was a quest I picked up early on but never bothered with. I'm level 20 now and decided to give it a shot but have hit a bug.

The quest marker points to Tivela's house no problem; but when I get inside, it points back outside again...

I've walked around but can't find Tivela anywhere, so I guess there's no chance of my actually doing this quest.

Anybody else had this problem and been able to solve it? (PC version, btw)

[edit] I retrieved your husband and you'd throw me out?!

I had left this quest unfinished because when I was at a lower leve, I found the painted trolls were just too difficult. After becoming Champion of Cyrodiil, it seems as though the majority of NPC's' dispositions were either maxed or very close to it, even if I hadn't persuaded them for a long time. I finished this quest, and upon returning from the painting, Rythe gave me the reward, sat down and painted, and told me I was quite welcome in his house, but Tivela was agitated and telling me to get out...but when I would speak to her, she would express gratitude and her disposition was maxed at 100. My feeling is that this is just some weird bug, if many people experience this outcome. Tivela, I dare you to challenge me in the Arena, hahaha...--CharmSpell 19:28, 22 June 2007 (EDT)

I had the same thing when I had broken in to the house to get the quest (couldn't be bothered waiting until dawn). When I came out of the picture, Tivela still thought I was trespassing and told me to get out. Is it possible time had passed while you were in the picture and were therefore in a place you shouldn't have been? --Rpeh^Talk 11:03, 29 June 2007 (EDT)

When returning to the house it may be in the middle of the night when Tivela has locked it up and it's a trespass zone. Once quest-scripted behavior ends, the trespass AI takes over. I've fixed this for the next UOP by having the quest set the public flag on return to the house and then clear it again once the player exits at which point the quest terminates (this was a pain... had to add conditions to all the dialog as they were just quest-state and the wrong topics would keep appearing if the player talked to them before leaving. :^p ) Kivan 19:49, 22 May 2008 (EDT)

[edit] help... bug

i have been having this problem for a long time now.... i want to get it done but whenever i go to rythes house it tells me to leave the house. when im outside the house it tells me to go in , and so on. does anyone know if i can fix this? what do i do? where is the lady? i would appreciate any help please.

See my comment to the previous question. It (probably) thinks you're trespassing. Try coming back in the hours of daylight or just talking to Tivela anyway. --Rpeh^Talk 16:40, 2 July 2007 (EDT)
