| I wanted to let you guys know what finally worked for me. Thank you for your advice, but I had read on some other online walkthroughs that there was a way to talk the guardian into letting you have the master's belongings.
The trick is high wisdom. My wisdom is relatively low, so I drank a potion of owls wisdom that cranked my wisdom way up. While enhanced in this way, the conversation had a persuade check that wasn't there before that was something like "your master sent me to retrieve his belonging".
Thanks all for the advice, and I certainly wish I had a Tenser's Transformation spell, but alas, none have dropped and no merchant to this point has had one for sale.
