Talk to S'krivva, who says that she has a new job for you. Apparently, Hieronymus Lex is still causing the Waterfront trouble, as he's moved extra troops into the area. Armand won't show up, etc. She tells you that she wants you to help to do something about this; that you need to go find Methredhel.
Fast-travel to the Talos Plaza district and go to this house (Dynari Amnis):
Methredhel is in here.
Go in and speak to her. She'll tell you that a plan has been formulated to deal with Lex--and your part in this whole thing is to steal Hromir's Icestaff. It belongs to Archmage Traven.
NOTE: If you are a high enough rank in the Mages Guild, this mission will become significantly easier. If you are the Archmage, this mission will be an absolute cakewalk (no lie), since the staff would be officially yours and you would just have to walk into "your" room and pick up "your" staff.
Make sure that it's at least midnight, fast-travel to the Arcane University and enter the building in front of you.
It goes without saying that you should be in sneak mode.
Turn right when you enter, and utilize the portal on the ground. When you reach the next floor there may occasionally be someone walking around it--so you may have to go back to the first floor and wait for a moment or two, then go back to see if he's moved in such a way that you can sneak past him.
Anyway, if you sneak past him, the portal to the Arch-mage's quarters is to the right of the one you appeared on.
The staff will be on the set of drawers in front of the bed. Pick it up and then head on back down and give the staff to Methredhel.
She tells you once you hand it over to go and check on Lex, who will be in the Waterfront district.
Go over to the Waterfront, find Lex, and stand near him (go into sneak mode if necessary) and wait until he leaves and if you like, pick up the Note from Raminus Polus that will appear on the ground...as it was thrown away.
Go back to Methredhel, and tell her what happened. She'll tell you that you have to return the staff, but the Arcane University is far too well-guarded for you to return it there now.
Instead, she wants you to put it in Ontus Vanin's house. He also lives in the Talos Plaza, here:
Try and break in at about 6 am, as Ontus keeps odd sleeping hours. Go up the stairs and into the room on the second floor. Turn right when you enter the room to see a chest on the far side of the room. Put the staff in there.
Now, go back to S'krivva. Your reward is 300 gold, a promotion, +2 infamy, and access to a new fence, Luciana Galena of Bravil!
