ok i have a problem...martin is telling me to get some kind of dedra artifcat,im went to this quest:
http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Azura
i gave that dedra shrina the thing that he wanted,and then he told me to get into a cave and kill the vampires there,the problem is,they r too damn strong,and im a Warrior,and my blade skill is very good...
but still when i fight the 1st vampire that comes to u when u just enter the cave,i barly get pass him,and then 2 vampires come to me and make me sorry that i enter this cave,how can they be killed?more over,i had that vampire dieses before,and after a long quest i was able to get the cure,but when i fight with those vampires i get this dieseas again!,and it was a realy long quest to get rid of it,do i have to do it again?damn that will be one hard..
any 1 idea how to kill those vampires and how to avoide this dieases?
thx allot

1) Alchemy is your friend. Poisons against the vampires, multiple "restore health" drunk at once as temporary invulnerablity. Otherwise, just beef up, get stronger. And try to load the first poisoned stab/shot in stealth mode, it multiplies poison effects too.
2) You get the disease but it has no other effects than drain fatigue 5, you won't become a vampire again. Alchemy is your friend again, drink cure disease, or use the main altar at any chapel in a town. If you drank cure disease the first time, you'd avoid the whole long quest too.

A tip that I could tell you that helped me fight them is I just got them coming after me then went outside. Make sure it is day time and they will take sun damage as you are fighting them. So my strategy in simple was this. Poison my weapon, sneak attack, get outside, finish burning vampire off and take his dust. Always take V. Dust it makes some nice stuff. Hope that helps.

thx allot 4 ur answer,goona get me some better weapons,how can i chagre them btw?i ran out of stolen and not stolen Souls Gems,and i stole i think from ever store,or there r some that i didnt,but how can i Soul Gem creatures that i kill with empty soul gems?
one more question,How can i increase my conjuration level?i bought like 4-5 spells of summoning creatures but i cant use it,my level is like 8...and i need at least 25 to summon something:D,so how can i increase that level?i looked over the guides,and there should be a master trainer down in the 'The Great Forest',but i cant find there!,u mind telling me where is it if u know where it is?
Thanks allot

hehe:D
what a great plan
goona try it right away:D
THX

dudeio the easiest way to increase your conjuration level is find a cheap bound something spell and continuously cast it. Remember to watch you level ups as you dont want to go crazy and then get your modifier but use more than you need. Just spread out the process of leveling your conjuration no more than 10 levels per level up.

Master trainer will help you if your conjuration skill is over 75... Masters don't train n00bs Just get some easy spell, bound dagger or such. Cast, sheathe the dagger, cast again...

Recharge items either at a guild, for a fee, or using a filled soulgem - you fill them by killing creatures (not NPCs) while they are under influence of a soultrap spell, while you have an empty soulgem of fitting size in inventory. Anyway, after this quest you'll get Azura Star, a reusable soulgem. Don't give it to Martin, do some other daedric quest instead and give him some other item.

i agree with vook, give him some item you wouldnt use in the game anyway (not seriously at least).
like, if you use swords, give him a blunt artifact.(Volendrung, Mace of Molag Bal)

damn already give that british fella the damn artifcat,oh well..nm,this al main quest thing is realy geting annoying[i did allot allot of quests b4 starting this so its not new or w\e]so about that conjruation,i need to practice some low level spells?man that sucks,just wanted to pay a guy like...1000gold,and walla,25-30 conjuration level,oh well,its always the hard way in this game:Dbut its fun,alrighty folks thx allot,if u got more tips ill be more then happy hearing them,Thanks

If I were you I would not have used Azura's Star as the artifact to give Martin. That artifact is just about the most useful artifact in the entire game! A rechargeable grand soul gem?! Why would you ever give that away?

I am doing Namira's quest for the Daedric Item quest for Martin because its stats suck if you are higher level (over level 20). Magic ring drops, although random often are much better. I just got 2 random rings much better:
(1) Mundane Ring (50% Magic Resist, 35% Spell Reflection, value = 21,000 septims), and
(2) Ring of Skimming (Water Breathing, +20 Athletics, +20 Speed, value = 6500 septims)

Since no where else can you reproduce the abilities of many of the daedric items, I would suggest you pick something you know you will never use. If you do Namira's quest, you must have a personality lower than 65 or you will never get the quest (no longer true, see EDIT below). So do it early on. The actual personality level you need to achieve is 20, but since you can only drink 4 bottles of cheap wine at a time (-10 personality per bottle), and can only reliably get one personality drain helmet from a shop, 65 is the limit as far as I know.

EDIT: I just found out there are two buyable-only scrolls, both of which will drain your personality a whopping 50 points. They stack. You get them at two famous bookstores in Cyrodiil. So now, there is no built in personality limitation for Namira's quest.

I would give him that one. You'll need to drink some cheap wine to make yourself ugly in order to get the quest. You don't even need to really kill anything once you get the quest, just run and cast a spell in some ruins on some priests. Then go back and get ring. There are better rings in game, as was mentioned, so your not losing much.

***Edit***
And RPGer already said that. Oh well theres a link. And a second opinion.

thanks allot folks ill try geting that azura thing back,thx

you can't.

Yes you can, just reload

Vampires don't like fire either, most undead you'll meet in Oblivion don't. You could try getting some Fireball type spells or scrolls to soften 'em up.

thx 4 helping me,killed them all,:DTHX
