One way of doing this, rather more palatable to good sorts, is to kill Edwin, take the key he drops, and open the strongbox. But you cannot pick pocket him for the key. Do you have any idea why? I think it would be even more palatable for Good sorts to be able to do the quest without killing anybody.

The strongbox key is flagged as "Unpickpocketable" in all of Edwin's CRE files and since this behavior comes straight from the unmodded game, I suppose it was intended by the developers (not that it's a great design decision though).

If you don't want to kill people on Edwin's behalf you might want to take a look at the "Additional Shadow Thieves Content" component of SimDing0's Quest Pack. IIRC, it provides a way to spare the life of Rayic Gethras and an alternative way to deal with Mae'Var as well.

Ok then, thank you. I may try that. I am trying Saerelith for the very first time, and she has an alignment and a profession to preserve.

Trying this was difficult when you have as many mods installed as I did. YOu can use the install order that is recommended in the BiG picture, but it will still fail with the quest mod. I didn't want to be waspish here and
say, sure, i would try this except that it doesn't work .....
So why to bring this up? because thanks to Steve, I now have a patched version of the quest pack that works even if you are not playing BGT. So I thought I would reply to myself here and post this link in case somebody else wants it.
