[edit] Audens doesn't attack when in Sneak mode

I do confirm this. He found me in my Skingrad House while i was sneaking (like always in my house). He didn't attacked me and now he stays there. Quite funny, because he talks with housemaid. -- Roi Danton 77.179.80.177 21:17, 10 April 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Audens killed before he finds a character?

It's funny, but Audens never came after me (I was about level 10 and way past 10 days of game time, and I forgot about him). Exploring Horn Cave I found his body (with note talking about escaping) near a Wisp in a small room that had a trap door in the floor. Can he wander about and be killed?--Mazogaman 18:53, 27 November 2006 (EST)

Perhaps he followed you in the cave without you noticing and was killed by a creature? While i was doing a mages guild quest in a cave with necromancers i found his body next to a necromancer at the exit who had obviously killed him. 195.194.222.10 05:27, 12 February 2007 (EST) alcryt

In one game incarnation of mine, I found his body on the Silver Road just below Bruma, facing the dead body of Aval Uvani. It's safe to say that, sometimes, somebody else will get to him before you have a chance at him.

[edit] Does Audens ever forget to take revenge?

If 10 days pass and I'm still below level 5, would Audens still attack me any time after I become level 5? -- Jargon 04:15, 14 December 2006 (EST)

I'll answer my own question since I discovered the answer myself. Yes, Audens did attack me some time after I became level 5. -- Jargon 17:30, 25 January 2007 (EST)

[edit] Quest from Ruslan?

I entered the Temple District at night to do some thieving, and I saw Ruslan, whom I was about to pickpocket when I got this quest. Anyone else get this?-- Hobojoe

[edit] Quest Problem

For some reason luronk or ruslan may not talk to you about the incident in this case you for some reason cannot do the quest it happens to me which sucks

Any chance you just haven't raised their disposition high enough? Or are you saying that you don't have the topics show up when you talk to them? In that case, you just haven't started the quest yet because you haven't overheard the rumors. In any case, from the information you've given there's no sign that you've hit a glitch. --Nephele 22:47, 16 March 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Bug ?

I have finished the thieves guild and the main quest but when I attempt this quest I can never find Servatius Quintilius. The marker drects me to the Imperial waterfront but he is never there even when I wait at diffrent times of the day. i think ihave found a bug.can anyone help me on this issue??

Have you checked the waterfront buildings? I've found him in the Bloated Float inn once

I once walked in on a heated battle between Servatius Quintilius and the pirates on the waterfront. Some guards joined in, but Servatius died. Since he is not essential, he stayed dead. When it came time for me to do this quest, sure enough, the marker directed me to the exact spot he died on, and even the corpse had gone. Now I have to scour the city looking for Itius Hayn the hard way, and hope that I can continue this quest once I find him. I found Itius walking in Talos Plaza, talked to him and the quest is now progressing fine.

I had a similar problem, i am Arch Mage and for some reason the mage apprentices in arcane university are always fighting with the imperial battlemages, they always kill each other, one day i walked up and there were 4 dead battlemages and a dead apprentice surrounding Servatius Quintilius' body, I searched and found him wandering in the Talos Plaza district. - Syko_CoNoR

At some point you must have had the guards chasing you while at the Arcane University and the other mages must have come to your aid(killed the guards). Since they now have bounties on their heads and the guards keep respawning, these skirmishes will go on until the mages are all dead(they respawn too) which is very unlikely because the guards are heavily outnumbered and even if they do manage to kill one mage, there are always a few others who'll kill the guard and the cycle continues. --Sundar 03:09, 10 November 2007 (EST)

[edit] Ruslan is worried

I convinced Ruslan and Luronk gro-Glurzog to testify, then waited until the next morning to see what would happen. The quest said I should keep an eye on them, so I went back to Luronk's house. Right before I got there, Ruslan stopped me and said he was worried about his friend Luronk. I thought this was a quest update, like maybe he got killed for testifying. However, Luronk was in his house, talking about how he was going to lay low for a while. Going back to Ruslan gave the same comment - he was worried.

Since nothing at all was happening, I went to another town to do another quest. Upon arrival in town, I got the note that the arrest had been made. I don't know if my level has anything to do with it (32) or that I have already completed the main quest line.

[edit] Quest Bug

This has happened every time he escapes.

First of all, I was hiding in a small room in the Chrool Barracks, and there he sat in the room with me after I waited for 14 hours until midnight to sneak into the dungeons man. He didn't even notice me until after I spoke to him or I walked out of the room, and when he attakced the Chrool Guards defended me but also attacked me and put a 40 gold bounty on my head for no reason! I wasn't tresspassing as the room's door didn't have a red symbol on it, and every time i re-loaded it happened again, even afetr the fight had finished and then the three Fighters Guild Members started defending me man, and I don't know why. Does anyone know the answer to this? The Chorrol Guard owes me 40 gold, I had to pay the gold as i had no other choice unless I wanted to be a fugitive.

[edit] Audens Avidius able to arrest while in prison?

I removed the following from the main page.

==Bugs==

• After Audens Avidius has been put in jail, he continues to have the ability to arrest your character, if your character has a bounty.

I think that this was a random one-time glitch, or (more likely as this was reported to me which is why I was testing it out and read this page) a mod's doing. It's certainly not repeatable and not for lack of trying (set bounty to over a thousand before going in to visit him, murdered an Imperial Watch in front of him, punched him up... no arrest and when talked to after yielding he would just say the same "Someday when I get out" or some such greeting. The stage scripting correctly changes his class from guard to warrior and pulls him out of the Watch and Watch Captains factions, so it's not possible for guard dialog and behavior to persist. If anyone can confirm any circumstances otherwise, please post them here. -- Kivan 19:50, 16 May 2008 (EDT)

I'm going to put this one back. I've already confirmed the bounty when he attacks because the game thinks that he's still in the Guard class, so it's quite probable that for some people he can still display arrest behavior as well. Kivan 22:28, 15 July 2008 (EDT)

[edit] how has this never been mentioned?

10 days have passed. im well over level 5 (and i was at the time of the quest, too) and still, Audens has never come to attack me. he isnt in the jail, either. he has, for all intents and purposes, ceased to exist. Baconator96 22:49, 23 August 2008 (EDT)

Try waiting for a long time somewhere. He's probably wandering around trying to find you. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 05:24, 24 August 2008 (EDT)
