Category: Bugfix
Requirements: Oblivion Patch 1.2.0.214 (I tested it with this, probably works anyway)

Description
===========
If (like me) you went in the plane of Boethia and it's bugged up, the other gladiators standing quietly around the cage, some of them slowly sinking into the lava, and there is no recent save, use this bugfix. Quest stage must be 20 for this to work (open up the console and type getstage DABoethia). It will be, unless you changed it yourself, unwisely.

NB: I didn't test it with non playable races ! If you play a lich, a dremora, a beholder, Harry Potter etc it may or may not work for you.
Install
=======
1.Check the quest stage in game, as above.
2.Save, quit the game and make a backup of your (buggy) save. Do this always when installing a new mod, better safe than sorry. Preferably save in Tamriel, not inside the Boethia plane, not that it makes a difference for this bugfix (in fact it will save your day if trapped in Boethia's plane).
3.Unzip, copy the Boethia.esp file (or Boethia_OOO.esp if you use OOO) to <install dir>\Oblivion\Data\, usually C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Data. Delete the .esp you are not using. <br>4.Start Oblivion Launcher, click 'Data Files', place a checkmark beside the Boethia.esp file you 'll use. Preferably use OBMM or Wrye Bash (or whatever) to move the esp you use at the bottom of the load order.<br>5.Start the game and wait a few seconds.<br>6.Good luck with the tournament :)<br><br>Uninstall<br>=========<br>1.Start Oblivion Launcher, click Data Files, uncheck the .esp file.<br>2.Delete the .esp file from <install dir>\Oblivion\Data\<br>3.Launch Oblivion.<br>Safe to delete once quest is completed.<br><br>Incompatibility<br>===============<br>None known, very very unlikely there will be any.
