Boots of Springheel Jak (Quest)

Overview
Prerequisites: Completion of Arrow of Extrication and XXXX gold fenced. Faction: Thieves Guild Quest giver: Gray Fox, via one of his messengers Methredhel or Amusei Reward: 500 gold

Background Information
Amusei will meet you in a major city and ask you to meet the Gray Fox at Ganrendhel's House in Cheydinhal. The Gray Fox wants you to steal the Boots of Springheel Jak from a former thief who died many years ago. He knows that a descendant of Springheel Jak, Jakben, Earl of Imbel, lives in Imperial City.

Walkthrough
Head to Imperial City and ask around for Jakben's house. He lives in the Imperial City Talos Plaza District at Jakben Imbel's House in the main courtyard. Lockpick into his house when no one is around and sneak through. Jakben is out of the house at night, but at home during the day, and he has one servant. Sneak upstairs into his Private Quarters.

In his private quarters, you'll find a book of the Imbel genealogy, but won't reveal anything useful about the location of the boots. A message will come up telling you to ask Jakben himself about his ancestor and the boots. You can simply wait around for Jakben to return (if you happen to be there at night). When he sees you, he'll be afraid, but simply ask him where it is and he'll tell you it's in the crypts downstairs in the basement.

Head to the basement and into the crpyt. There will be five vampires with very nice loot (Vampire Battlemage, Vampire Scout, Vampire Spellsword, Vampire Thief, and Vampire Patriach). The Patriarch is guarding the last room where Springheel's coffin lays, however, once you search the area and the coffin, you'll find a strange diary note.

Head back upstairs and find Jakben. You'll discover that Jakben himself is a vampire and is Springheel Jak, so you'll have to kill him to get the boots (remember to avoid killing the servant). Kill Jakben, take the Boots of Springheel Jak (and the nice glass armor), and return to the Gray Fox in Cheydinhal for your reward.
