[edit] Too Late?

I didn't enter the house until after 11:30 PM (heh...forgot to check my watch) but the poor bastard was still in his chair. Lucky for me.--OGRastamon 00:18, 20 November 2006 (EST)

[edit] Crawlspace

can someone please help me?! i need to find the dumb crawlspace but can't!! i'm so mad!! LOL if you can find a picture of it, that would really help —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.142.17.180 (talk • contribs).

When you enter Baenlin's house from the basement, you must sneak to the stairway directly across from the basement door and to the right. Head upstairs. At the top of the stairs, make a 180-degree turn to the right and enter that room. On the left wall will be a desk and a sliding door to the crawlspace at the far end of the left wall. --GuildKnight 17:13, 4 March 2007 (EST)

[edit] Gromm bug?

After completing the quest, I did some theivery and returned to Bruma to visit Ongar at Olav's Tap and Tack, only to find Gromm in the Building, attempting to massacre everyone. Fortunately, before he could kill either Ongar or Olaf, they ran outside, which resulted in Gromm getting pummeled by the guards. Anyone know what could cause this. I had already completed the quest and was undetected.

Reply: Actually, he's just meant to be drowning his sorrows, and if you try to tak to him he just cries about Baenlin and the conversation ends. Your situation may be a result of dodgy A.I. It happens.

Reply: I had the exact same thing happen to me too. Gromm came after me and Olav/myself had to fight him. I've also got a really low disposition with most people in Bruma, as if I had been caught or something. It seems to me there is a bug here; not sure of the cause though.

this isn't isolated after the assassination whil escaping gromm caught me obeying my orders i fled into the street and left the villiage as Gromm was attacked by guards. i then fast travelled to skingrad and many other places. approx 57 days later while trekking through the swamps south of leyawiin i was accosted by a nord i attempted to yeild and saw his name... GROMM!!! this super-nord had hunted me through cyrodill even after i believed him overcome by guards. I with reat reverence fled and another 10 days later found his body next to 2 dead guards, Gromm is the embodiment of endurance and determination Gromm I salute you. Lewbot1 17:11, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Baenlin's House

Well after the mission for the dark brotherhood, i went back to Bruma and noticed that I can freely take anything from the house, I can even sleep in the bed. If that's the case, is this a safe place to store items as well? 71.161.44.17 11:33, 28 September 2007 (EDT)DVSDavis

As with almost all houses in the game, most of the containers in the building respawn (specifically 13 of the 20 containers in the house respawn). Even though you can freely take items from the house, you will still lose items if you try to store them there. --Nephele^Talk 15:21, 28 September 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Bug?

I found a bug on this page:

A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was: (SQL query hidden) from within function "Job::pop". MySQL returned error "1205: Lock wait timeout exceeded; Try restarting transaction (70.38.12.115)". Retrieved from "http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Accidents_Happen"

[edit] The 01:05, 18 March 2009 Edit

The 01:05, 18 March 2009 edit was me, so I'm the one to scold if anyone has a problem with it. I thought I was logged in at the time, but clearly, I was mistaken. - Brian Sexton 21:11, 17 March 2009 (EDT)

[edit] Taxidermist

Should it be noted that the Minotaur head involved in the quest was provided by the taxidermist Melisi Daren from Fighter's Stronghold (as seen in Battlehorn Trophy Hall)? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Baiuhnixg (talk • contribs) on 19:43, 27 March 2009.

It seems likely that that's what they intended by that book, but since we can't conclusively prove that that's the case, I would say it should stay off the page, or if you put it on, make it clear that it's probable, but not 100% certain. --Robin Hood (Talk • E-mail • Contribs) 21:18, 2 April 2009 (EDT)

[edit] Book

In the screenshot of Beanlin sitting in his chair, what's that book on the table beside him? It looks like the dragon elblem that appears on gold.. Legoless 18:03, 21 June 2009 (EDT)

That's a really good question! In the regular game, it's simply a copy of "On Morrowind", which has a plain orange cover, not a special design. I'm not sure what we're looking at in this one. --Robin Hood (Talk • E-mail • Contribs) 13:34, 22 June 2009 (EDT)

I think whoever took it might have had a mod installed that changed the cover of the book. Lucky the Cat Guy. 21:26, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Loosen / Remove Fastenings

(moved from UESPWiki:Reference Desk)

on the above quest i have done everything asked but there is no option to "loosen" the fastenings only remove them. doing so always results in a forfeit is there another way around? thanks Matt S

You don't get a forfeit for removing the fastenings. The forfeit is probably for doing it either at the wrong time or for being detected. –rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 10:18, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] no change

i go in at exactly 8pm in stealth mode an yet still gives me a forfeit? maybe a glitch? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.130.158.47 (talk • contribs) on 17 July 2009.

What do you mean with "forfeit"? What exactly happens when you enter at that time? --Timenn-<talk> 11:30, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
