well first to do that you need to talk to the poet and give him some gold for him to tell you some of it, then the mage comes out and thats when you run into the room and loot the place <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />
If practice makes perfect, and nobody is perfect, why practice?
go ahead and steal, but make sure you have a saved game before doing so, if you get caught your reputation goes down and the guards will have to do thier job.
the best way to steal is to turn into a spider, hit the guy and make'm run away then loot his house <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />
