Oblivion talk:Audens Avidius

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

Audens spawned in an Oblivion tower. Can he spawn anywhere, or follow you anywhere, to get even? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.108.239.151 (talk • contribs).

You get the quest completed if you kill him, and it says he must have escaped from prison. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.108.239.151 (talk • contribs).

The walkthrough of the quest in which you put him in jail says he finds you anywhere. Not too bright to fight the main character even in the planes of oblivion, he should've become a psychic detective, managing to track you down in oblivion. - Korunox 19:15, 14 February 2008 (EST)

I completed the quest concerning Audens Avidius and after I waited in the Imperial City I saw him standing in front of me starting to run away. I chased him down and got him to like me through conversation. He now just stands around not doing a thing. It doesnt seem like this will have any serious effects I just wanted to point it out.

somthin similar happend to me when i was wearing the cowl of the gray fox he tryed to arrest me and the funny thing is i was doing the "scheduled for executioned"(i was right by the stone wall to the prison cell) quest soi took it off and yielded...he just walked back to the sewers i think he lives there now ^.^

[edit] Escape how?

I don't see how he escaped through the same escape route. If you visit prisoners when he is arrested, he isn't put in your cell, hes put in the cell across from the night mother person. So i don't see how he escaped. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lucky the Cat Guy (talk • contribs).

Picked the lock on his cell, picked the lock on your old cell and then escaped? Just a guess. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 05:58, 4 August 2008 (EDT)

I doubt he knew about it...and besides, he would have to get past the Jailor due to there being 2 rooms, him being in the opposite one. If i was to guess, i would think that there was other passages.

Or one of the guards just let him out - if he's corrupt and he's made it this far, he may have connections. I wouldn't worry too much about how he got out, if the intimation is the Bethesda overlooked that plot point. I don't think they did - there are many ways out of an Imperial prison, especially if you have connections. xoxo Coryl

[edit] Ramblings

It is said at the end of his 'ramblings' that he will make Itius squeal first. Is he killed when Audens escapes? Or did he say that as meaning he will 'make him squeal' before killing him? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lucky the Cat Guy (talk • contribs).

No, it's an empty threat and Itius stays alive. I'd say it means he intended to make Itius squeal and then kill him. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 05:57, 4 August 2008 (EDT)

[edit] More than 10 days?

Does he really spend more than 10 days in jail for low-level characters? This sounds more like a hunch somebody had rather than hard evidence, but I could be wrong. Mutated 03:16, 10 August 2008 (EDT)

It's true - you can see it in the construction set. You must be over level 5 before he will escape, presumably because he'd be too much of a challenge otherwise. I've corrected the article. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 04:25, 10 August 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Guards assisting Audens

Audens found me at the Arcane University and attacked me, of course. Thing is, the Battlemage at the post decided to attack me as well. It was only after I was dead did he attack Audens. I didn't have a bounty, nor did I attack first. Seems like a bug to me, but has anyone else seen this happen? -71.161.35.134 04:11, 12 December 2008 (EST)

I had the same issue. I had just got out of prison, and he was right in front of me. He looked sideways (like someone does if you're behind them, watching you) then the fight music started and he attacked. Naturally I summoned my Clannfer and pulled out my fists(pure mage FTW) to attack, when the gaurd standing near the door started to attack. I managed to kill Avidius, and had the gaurd nearly dead, when another gaurd attacked and killed me. Anyone want to check the CS for possible reasons? (69.66.137.151 18:48, 8 January 2009 (EST))

It's a known bug. Known as in 'fixed by the UOP' --Gaebrial 03:47, 9 January 2009 (EST)

PS. It's detailed on the quest page. --Gaebrial 03:50, 9 January 2009 (EST)

[edit] Audens being non hostile and a location glitch

Is it usual for him to be non hostile because well let me tell you the scenario. So Audens finds me (after the completion of the Imperial Corruption quest) as I am leaving The Tiber Septim Inn. He starts to attack me (along with the guards) and I am killed. When I went to reload the autosave (i am on the Xbox 360) i find Audens standing in front of me and he doesnt attack me. I am able to talk to him and he acts like a normal guard (same dialogue as a usual guard).

Also Does he suffer from the same bug as Camilla Lollia and the Desolate Mine fighters because he appears outside any city jail after I've been arrested and he stays there?

I got the bug mentioned above about the guards helping audens, I yielded to the guard and paid my fine, when I respawned at the jail audens was there but non hostile. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Baenlin (talk • contribs) on 26 May 2009.

[edit] Already Dead

Ok, heres another wierd thing about this guy. Before i had started the quest for this guy i found him dead at the gate between the Arena District and Market district, at the foot of an Imperial Legion Soldier. There was also an orc with a big axe standing near his body. So...I wonder what killed him. Also, moments later a Khajiit walked past and the orc attacked the Khajiit which caused the Imperial Soldier to kill him. I'm fairly sure that the orc and Khajiit were part of the Imperial City Extended mod that i am running, but i'm still left wondering how this happened. 58.164.33.236 23:30, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

The Orc and Khajiit you're talking are definitely not in vanilla Oblivion, so they are probably part of the mod you mentioned. Audens Avidius' death is probably caused by the mod, although several NPCs turn up dead from time to time for no apparent reason in vanilla Oblivion as well. ^Talk Wolok gro-Barok _{Contributions} 12:43, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
