While doing the quest Betraying the Brotherhood (in Bruma) I am
unable to grab Gelebourne's Journal from behind the dresser. I have spoken
to Olav and gotten the room key, I have also spoken to the guards doing
the crime scene work, and I have spoken to the victim's wife. When I try
to pick up Gelebourne's Journal there is no cursor to allow me to pick up
the object. I have even tried reloading the game from an earlier save and
I am still unable to pick up the object to continue on in the quest.

Welcome to the forum. :icecream:


Here can you find more about http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:A_Brotherhood_Betrayed, but you must activate the book and then click "Take" to *pick it up*.
This activation of the book should bring it up for you to read the journal inside.

I hope this is the solution for you.
