[Gabrielles blades]

So he sends me this old dwarven ruins to get some sort of Dwemer puzzle box; so im dungean crawling this whole place killing off ghosts, spiders, evil men etc etc....and i eventually killed everything off but couldnt find the box in any shelf body or chest...so theres this one spot left that i havent explored yet because i cant make the jump across to the bridge. so im wondering, anyone with high acrobatics made the jump know if the box is that way?

i have a 41 in sneak and can't pp yet, either. i save before every attempt and end up reloading ALOT. i don't like reloading, either.

i'm saving my money to train up in sneak as much as i can. at least with my so/so guild standing i can get each point for about 300.

i'm trying to keep my pp attempts to late at night indoors. that way, i don't have to worry about others seeing me do it.

i'm thinking you might should be over 50 to really be successful at it.
