[edit] Items Already Found

Oh, no , no , no , no , no. Please for the love of jesus and baby jesus, pizza bagel bites and lead-free paint, someone tell me there is a user-mod already that crosses the items off of the list. This could drive one crazy in real life. If not, I'm gonna have to hold off on "trying" to do this one, I'll just randomly stop and see if she takes more items out until she's done I guess. --AlbinoMudcrab 00:50, 4 April 2007 (EDT)

100% agree with you there, how am i supposed to know what im still to get her? Guess i could always collect everything and give it to her at the same time...meh alcryt 13:08, 6 May 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Mirili

I got in the situation where I had to pay a bounty in Bravil and when I had finished the "procedure" and was lined up with the other crooks outside the castle, there was Mirili, in line with the rest of us. I followed her and she swam out to the Island. However, she would not go through the door. I had to reload a save game so I could finish her quest. --Gaea 12:21, 5 September 2007 (EDT)

I had a strange thing happened to me on this mission too. It seems like when Mirili captures the monsters she uses some kind of paralyze spell on them and when I brought back the scalon the other people in town started to attack. Bruacus got in the way and was hit by her spell and he fell over stiff like he was hit with paralyze. When I looked at him it showed " (A) talk to Bruscus Dannus" but when I clicked on him it showed his inventory like he was dead. I fast travelled away and back again and he was ok. ^{—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hellknight79 (talk • contribs) on 23:27, 19 September 2007 (EDT).}

[edit] Well this is stupid...

The damnedable woman won't ever come out of her house. She sits in there all day everyday thus making it impossible for me to complete the bestiary quest seeing as she is never outside to capture the beast I bring. This quest is truly infuriating. --Mole126 15:36, 14 February 2008 (EST)

I'll agree with you about the frustration but the tips on the article for when she gets stuck in the house worked for me. If those ideas don't work, punch her and lead her outside then yield and try again. I remember being thoroughly sick of the quest by the end, but I did get it finished. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 15:51, 14 February 2008 (EST)

I overlooked that part of the article somehow. Now I have a new problem though. I've gotten her out of the house and brought her three Elytras, but she just proceeds to slaughter each and every one of them with seemingly no attempt to capture them. Is this a fluke or a bug? --Mole126 15:59, 14 February 2008 (EST)

Yeah that can happen too. Try to use Restore Health on Target / Touch spells to keep the creature healed - she'll charm it eventually. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 17:03, 14 February 2008 (EST)

I've found something kind of neat. Instead of punching her to get her out of her house and then risking a fight-to-the-death involving the entire village, I've found that if you bring an animal in that is under your command it will actually follow you inside her house, which is pretty nifty seeing as it is a place where you don't have to worry about the other villagers interfering. For some reason trying this never occurred to me until I watched an angry Gnarl chase Runs-In-Circles into her own house. They don't seem to follow you in the house if they are attacking you, but only when they are under your command. Perhaps this should be added to the page? --Mole126 04:12, 15 February 2008 (EST)

Hmm. I remember managing to do that once but I thought it was a fluke. If you can replicate it, feel free to add the information to the article. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 04:39, 15 February 2008 (EST)

It seems it was a fluke. I can't get any other creatures except that one Gnarl to enter the house with me. I still think it is worth a try every on each creature, so I'll go ahead and put it up on the page as something that is possible to do on occasion. Oh well. I'm just glad I'm done with that horrid quest. Thanks once again for your help. ~Mole126 05:02, 15 February 2008 (EST)

No problem. The trouble with this quest is that it could benefit from some more research but it's so annoying that by the time it's over you never want to touch it again! COngratulations on finishing it. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 05:12, 15 February 2008 (EST)

Well, it's been a while since I played oblivion. This time I am roleplaying a short-tempered, ruthless, and calculating character. When I got to this quest, I did all the plant nonsense. Then I got a baliwog back to her via the very annoying method of having it chase me to the town since my illusion skill was so low I had absolutely no way to captivate the beast. Three times I hunted out a Baliwog, cutting down swathes of Hunger, Gnarl, and Scalon alike to find each. Each time, she killed it. Killed it on her own with no help from the villagers, and me offering the only help I could to the creature: a weak "Protect Other" spell. Three times, and hours of wasted playtime. Now as you can imagine, by the third Baliwog I was quite angry. Then I realised that the character I am roleplaying would be absolutely furious with the Dunmer wench. I put an arrow through her skull and left her naked, floating in the waters of the Isles. This is a great way to end the quest if you find it too much to bear, and you don't need the reward gold. --Mole126^T 04:48, 22 August 2008 (EST)

[edit] Another solution (if you are evil...)

You could just kill the townsfolk. That'd solve the problem! --Odd.bod 09:21, 1 April 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Another solution with the wabbajack

This worked for me. Use wabbajack on the creature you bring and hope it turns to a small creature. Then take control of it in its altered state and walk in her house. It should follow the soon change back. It worked for me I hope it helps you all. ^{—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.169.150.131 (talk • contribs) on 13:24, 5 June 2008.}

[edit] PLEASE HELP!!!

Hello every oblivion fan. I have a serius problem whit this quest. My illusion skill is 100(i play on 360 not pc) and i bought the best spell that lady has to offer and it works well BUT, when i get her a baliwog and talk to her she only says "Liar,you dont have any blah blah blah". I dunno what im doin wrong but this is detailed list of how i do: 1:i find a baliwog,but only the venemous ones. 2:Do the best spell that she offered on the venemous baliwog. 3:run to the settlement. 4:Finds the lady,wich is outside her house. 5:Talk to her and choose the topic wich is required. 6:Then she says that I dont have a baliwog whit me. 7:I do the spell again on the venemous baliwog. 8:Talk to the lady again.Gets the same answer. 9:Go to a cage and pushes the baliwog inside and then close the gate. 10:Same as 8.

What am i doing wrong? Should i talk to her inside the house? Should i get a normal and not venemous baliwog? Is it a bug?

Please help//Dodogong 14:48, 7 August 2008 (EDT)
