Sanguine(spoilers)

[Arok2092]

I have a problem with the Sanguine quest. When I go to Leyawin to cast the spell on the people at the dinner party I discover that the countess is not there. Naturally I waited but still she did not show up. Only the count was sitting on the throne. So I snuck upstairs to see if she got caught behind a door but that was not the case either. I then remembered that she supposedly goes to visit her mother in Chorrol. I went but to no avail. Then instead of fast traveling back I walked in hopes of seeing her or her assistant's body. This did not happen either. I cannot find the countess or her assistant anywhere. Also this is on a console so therefore I cannot use any codes. I have also tried deleting the temporary memory but once again to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The countess only appears in the dining hall at 6-8 pm she leaves after 8. However the guests will stay forever.

Also if you talk to the guard outside the dining hall door after the countess leaves, she might not come back...

If your really unluckly, it could be possible that she died during her travels on the road, unlikely, but a possibility.

Sorry to Break it To You

The same exact thing happened to me. I am on the 360, so I can't do cheat codes, and I killed the Countess before this quest. So....you can't do the Sanguine quest, which, in turn, means you can't do the Hermaues Mora quest.

Have you tried coming back on a different day? That worked for me. Just see to it that the hour is right.

By the way, I had this most hilarious experience doing this quest: when I had cast the spell, the guards for some reason decided to attack the countess instead of me. When after a few blows she was dead, the castle was full of naked people strolling around as if nothing had happened. I even spoke to the count and sat on his late wife's throne for a while.
