Oblivion talk:Telaendril

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

Telaendril is exceptionally weak in my experience when compared to the rest of the brotherhood, I struck her once and and Bruccius the Orphan managed to kill her with his bare fists. I am unsure why he fought for me though I am sure I had progressed most of the theives guild.

She doesn't seem to exist outside of the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary until you join the Dark Brotherhood itself, as far as I can tell. I've checked all the locations she's supposed to be at acccording to the note found on Ocheeva, and can't find her. If anyone else can find her outside the sanctuary before joining the Dark Brotherhood, I'd appreciate the information, and it should probably be added to the Wiki article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 208.67.203.122 (talk • contribs).

Yep, you're right. All of her AI packages (that tell her to go to various locations outside of the sanctuary) only become active after you join the Dark Brotherhood. The scripting is somewhere bizarre, because it actually checks to see whether or not Telaendril has had a specific conversation with Gogron gro-Bolmog. But that conversation will only be triggered when the player is standing nearby, and therefore implicitly requires that the player have joined the Dark Brotherhood and entered the sanctuary for the first time. --Nephele^Talk 18:13, 6 September 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Permanent Retirement

Does she really attempt to assasinate Adamus Phillida if you wait to long to kill him? I think that would be an interesting twist if she would. Aldage 16:19, 9 October 2007 (EDT)

That would be rather interesting, I agree, but it is of course not possible. Where did you get that idea? --M'aiq the Liar 05:16, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

She visits Leyawiin every so often, and this caused some people to speculate that she was there to kill Adamus. More here. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 06:07, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Break Up Note?

Looking at the table Gogron drinks at, you will see a note suggesting that they broke up.

I've deleted this note that was added to the page (and already questioned). The only possibly relevant note in the Dark Sanctuary is a copy of "ClutterLoveLetter03" that is found on one of the tables in the Dark Brotherhood Living Quarters. However, it's a completely anonymous note that is found in seven other places in the game. And I don't seeing anything about that table that is specific to Gogron: Gogron can randomly choose to sit at any table; any other DB member can choose to sit at that table. So it seems to me like a bit of a stretch to infer that the note is supposed to provide background specifically on Telaendril, rather than just acting as general clutter (as its name suggests). --Nephele^Talk 00:52, 31 December 2007 (EST)

Well, judging be the name "CLUTTERLoveLetter03", I would assume that it's clutter. Bethesda might have put it there just to be funny, though. --Ocylith 10:54, 17 April 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Strange Attack

Once I was playing, I was about to get out of the sanctuary by the door (not the well). Just before I do, I hear combat moves. I turn back, and see Ocheeva killing Telaendril. Why, I can't tell. Right after, once Telaendril's dead, Ocheeva comes back to a normal behaviour. Strange, for sure: can anyone explain that?

This is all just speculation, but perhaps Telaendril accidently attacked and Ocheeva responded. I have absolutely no idea if this is possible, thus it seems unlikely. --Ocylith 10:56, 17 April 2008 (EDT)

I have seen this behaviour as well. One possible explanation has been mooted on the Oblivion talk:The Purification page - maybe Ocheeva was after some food that Telaendril was carrying. --Gaebrial 04:22, 18 April 2008 (EDT)

I have just started the Dark Brotherhood questline and witnessed the same thing. I triggered the conversation between Telaendril and Gogron - while it was happening, Ocheeva enters her room and opens the barrel behind her table. After the conversation finished, Ocheeva comes sprinting out of her room and cuts down Telaendril in front of the well ladder (she was getting ready to go to the well behind the Mages Guild). I reloaded a few times; in one of the reloads I attempted a pickpocket on Telaendril; sure enough, there were five pieces of venison meat in her inventory; likely from Ocheeva's barrel. In another reload, Telaendril managed to make it out of the sanctuary, and Ocheeva could not follow her due to the well being locked and requiring a specific key, which Ocheeva does not have. I went outside, followed Telaendril to the Mages Guild, waited until past midnight, and saw her back to the sanctuary safely. Upon her return; Ocheeva was no longer in combat mode and seemed to have forgotten the larceny.--24.163.113.239 02:51, 27 April 2009 (EDT)

I also had a strange situation, I was travelling through a forest, when I came past a bridge, on top of the bridge were standing countess Alessia Caro and her bodyguard, below the bridge, in the water, were a dead Telaendril and a living bandit 84.87.38.168 17:24, 26 April 2009 (EDT)
