How do you get the knights of the nine shield in oblivion?

in the room with the conjurer adept (once you're in the fort, of course), the room with the note on the table to the other conjurers, there is a handle on the floor kind of to the left of that table. activate it and the nearby gate will open. in hat gate there is another handle that you turn so that the gates and the drawbridges lift and come down so you can get into the next room. go back to the room that had the frost atronach in it (well, that's what it had for me. it's the places with a higher and lower level and the higher one is made up of thin walkway-things). from there, you can go across the drawbridges. then, you should come a room with 12 pressure pad things on the floor. there are four rows of three pads. on the first row, step on the one on the left. on the second row, step on the one in the middle. for the third, step on the one on the right and on the fourth and final row, step on the one and the left. I'll do i little diagram, 'cause I'm a kind guy. the squares with the stars on are the ones to step on.

i figured it out because the ones that you're meant to step on don't click when you do so. in the next room, there's some jail cells. the first one has only a skeleton in it and the next one has a prisoner. he'll tell you things and when you ask him to help you, he says he's too weak and runs off. there are some conjurers in here, so take them out. go into the next room and there will be a bunch of conjurers. why not take them out, too? there will be some steps going up to an altar or something, but at the bottom of those steps (right in front of you when you first enter the room), there are four statues facing random directions. carry on turning the handles on their backs until they are all facing the middle. (there is an arrow on the floor in the middle. they should all be facing that.) step onto the arrow and after a few seconds, all the lights will go out and a hole will open in the wall pretty much straight ahead of you. in the next room, there will be an altar. step on the pad in front of it and look around. one of the (around) 10 statues bordering the room will have a floating object in front of it. instead of letting you remember which objects they are and where they're at, I'll just be generous and draw you another diagram. oh how wonderful i am. this show which statues the object are at and you can just put the objects in the boxes in front of each statues as you get them. I'll repeat; you have to put each object in the box that is in front of the correct statue. the spawn chest is the altar.
